The exact nature of the relationship among species range sizes, speciation, and extinction
events is not well understood. The factors that promote larger ranges, such as broad niche …

Abstract A Late Holocene (ca. 3,100 to 380 BP) sample of the viscacha rat genus Octomys
(Octodontidae) from the Vaquerías Gruta 1 site (VQ-G1) in western Argentina is reported …

Conservation biology relies on understanding how animals are affected by human-induced
changes in their environment. We explored the influence of habitat types, seasons, and …

Caviomorph rodents represent an excellent model to explore morphological diversification
on a macroevolutionary scale, as they are ecologically and morphologically diverse. We …

We present the results of the extensive analysis on the taxonomic composition, the
taphonomic characteristics, and the possible paleoenvironmental implications of the small …

Habitat partitioning is considered one of the main mechanisms of coexistence among small
mammals. This is especially evident in arid environments where resources are particularly …

Habitat selection is central to shaping the abundance and distribution of organisms in space
and time. We analysed land use (National Park, pastoralism and agriculture) and habitat …

Habitat use of rodents is associated to environmental variables, species requirements and
biological interactions. The aim of this study was to analyse the macro and microhabitat use …

Abstract† Prospaniomys is a basal octodontoid recorded in the early Miocene in Patagonia
(Argentina; Colhuehuapian SALMA). Nearly complete cranial and mandibular remains …

Agriculture and pastureland for cattle grazing are common land uses in Mediterranean
landscapes. These activities significantly alter the habitat conditions, affecting the body …
