At this point I wish to emphasize what I believe will ultimately prove to be the greatest value
of our museum. This value will not, however, be realized until the lapse of many years …

A quali‐quantitative morphofunctional analysis of the craniomandibular joint in subterranean
rodents of the family Ctenomyidae showed that specializations of this joint are coupled with …

Mexico is considered a mammal diversity hotspot, and most conservation efforts involving
mammals focus on large and charismatic species. Herein, we provide an assessment of the …

In this study, we address the question of phylogenetic relationships in the Geomyidae,
focusing primarily on intergeneric relationships within the tribe Geomyini. Our study makes …

Studies of the biostratigraphy and palaeoecology of fossil vertebrate assemblages require
large samples of accurately identified specimens. Such analyses can be hampered by the …

Geomyoid rodents provide a great study system for the analysis of sexual dimorphism. They
are polygynic and many inhabit harsh arid environments thought to promote sexual …

A study of chromosomal variation in the Mexican pocket gopher Cratogeomys merriami
revealed differences in diploid number that correspond to 3 major genetic and …

Many species of pocket gophers and their ectoparasitic chewing lice have broadly
congruent phylogenies, indicating a history of frequent codivergence. For a variety of …

Texas exhibits one of the richest levels of pocket gopher diversity in the United States. Three
genera (Cratogeomys, Geomys, and Thomomys) and 11 species are found in Texas. It is not …

The southern pocket gopher, Thomomys umbrinus, currently contains 17 subspecies
distributed from southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico southward into the …
