Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography conservation. Expert maps often represent only available distributional play increasing role conservation assessments macroecology. We provide for the native ranges all extant mammal species harmonised taxonomy Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) mobilised from two sources, Handbook Mammals World (HMW) Illustrated Checklist...
Abstract Ctenomys paramilloensis Roig et al. (1975. paramilloensis, una nueva especie de tucu-tuco la Sierra Uspallata, provincia Mendoza (Rodentia, Octodontidae). In: Resúmenes IV Jornada Argentina Zoología . Corrientes, Argentina), was coined to represent populations for this caviomorph (Hystricomorpha) subterranean rodent inhabiting a high Andean isolated tableland in the Mendoza, Argentina. To evaluate validity of nominal form we conducted field sampling involving several localities...
Abstract In the Andean portion of northern Patagonia, populations Ctenomys are found from low-elevation plains to high-elevation meadows and valleys. Despite their prevalence, taxonomy these subterranean rodents remains poorly resolved. Using genetic morphological data obtained museum specimens animals collected in field, we examined southwestern Mendoza Province, Argentina. Our analyses suggest presence at least five species within study area. The highest, innermost Andes is occupied by C....
Rodents have received substantial attention in the study of olfaction. However, rhinarium, naked part nose, which plays an important role chemical, tactile, and thermal perception, has been relatively overlooked. This presents a comprehensive analysis rhinarium morphology spatially associated structures (i.e., upper lip, philtrum) sigmodontines, diverse group within Cricetidae rodents. The research covers 483 specimens representing 145 species, accounting for 74% genera clade, including all...

Mammal 83: 1–19, doi: 10.1093/jmammal/83.1.1, stands as most recently described within its genus remains one least studied. Known from two localities in northwestern Mendoza Province, Argentina, this elusive has been subject four field studies conducted during 2022. obtained evidence, including craniodental fecal...
Woody plant encroachment (WPE) is reshaping the physiognomy of grasslands and savannahs worldwide. At same time, this habitat conversion accelerating loss associated biodiversity. In general, studies on WPE have focused abiotic factors, singly or in combination, that trigger phenomenon. Despite its ecological relevance, very few tackled effects WPE-spurred transformation animal species dependent relatively open areas such as savannas for survival. We studied a relict almost extinct...
Although guanacos (Lama guanicoe) are widely distributed throughout much of their historic range, they often restricted to small, isolated populations that at risk inbreeding and loss genetic diversity. Here we document interpret baseline patterns variation in a guanaco population inhabiting the Bolivian Chaco is threatened by hunting habitat degradation. The region, once open grasslands, dominated dense shrubs, result livestock grazing. most-recent census identified only 74 individuals...
Abstract In order to improve the knowledge of terrestrial fauna in Jabal Samhan Reserve – southern Oman several systematic surveys have been carried out this region. Four specimens bushy-tailed jird, gerbilline
Abstract The monotypic genus Salinomys (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) includes tiny mice with specialist adaptations to desert habitats characteristic of Argentinian shrubland. We report on a population delicatus from Central La Pampa Province, Argentina, representing 450 km southerly extension its known distribution. Importantly, this stresses the necessity for further discussion validity conservation status, recently updated Data Deficient Vulnerable. Furthermore, we highlight aspects...
Abstract Limited vouchered records exist for Cuniculus paca , the second-largest living caviomorph rodent, documenting its southernmost occurrence. Here, we introduce four new recording sites based on skulls probably discarded by local hunters, with three located in Misiones Province and fourth marking first supported evidence neighboring Corrientes Argentina. The data remains inconclusive as to whether latter location signifies a southern expansion of this rodent due climate change or...
Palm squirrels of the genus Funambulus are reported as invasive in Sultanate Oman for first time. These have been recorded seven locations northern contributing to a total 11 records. Seven records were Five-striped palm squirrel, pennantii (Wroughton, 1905) and species identification was indeterminate four supposed be only United Arab Emirates (UAE), but here evidence is shown presence Three-striped Indian palmarum (Linnaeus, 1776) Ras Al Khaimah. So, there possibility that this may also...

Sigmodontines (Rodentia: Cricetidae), the largest living radiation of Neotropical rodents (90 genera, 489 species), show about 10% having specializations related to a semiaquatic habitat. In addition, this mode life is unequally distributed among several clades which compose subfamily, concentrated in Ichthyomyini and few large-bodied Oryzomyini. The observed taxonomical geographical pattern here discussed biogeographical historical context. As working hypothesis advanced that risk predation...
