Phylogenetic relationships among cryptic species of the Phyllotis xanthopygus complex (Rodentia, Cricetidae)

Agustina A. Ojeda et al.

Summary: The leaf-eared mouse is a widely distributed sigmodontine rodent in South America, which may represent a species complex. Molecular genetic/phylogenetic analysis revealed multiple well-supported clades and proposed a new framework for species identification within the leaf-eared mice complex.

Disentangling the complex alpha taxonomy of Andean populations of Ctenomys (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) from northern Patagonia: the need for extensive sampling in heterogeneous landscapes

Mauro N. Tammone et al.

Summary: In the Andean portion of northern Patagonia, at least five species of Ctenomys were found, with distinct distributions within the study area. The highest portion of the Andes is occupied by C. maulinus, while two forms associated with mendocinus and magellanicus lineages are found in the mountains and foothills to the east. Additionally, an undescribed form associated with the mendocinus lineage was reported from Las Lefias Valley, highlighting the need for detailed field collections to improve knowledge of Ctenomys systematics.

A new Pleistocene Ctenomys and divergence dating of the hyperdiverse South American rodent family Ctenomyidae

Nahuel A. De Santi et al.

Summary: The study describes a newly discovered species of South American Ctenomys and analyzes its phylogeny and timetree. The results reveal nine well-supported major clades within the crown Ctenomys, with eight consistent with existing species groups. The age estimates for taxonomic, ecological, and geographical diversification of the genus are younger than previously thought, suggesting a pattern of fast and late cladogenesis.

Unravelling the mystery of female meiotic drive: where we are

Frances E. Clark et al.

Summary: Female meiotic drive is a phenomenon where a selfish genetic element alters chromosome segregation during female meiosis to transmit more frequently to the next generation. Despite known examples for many years, a molecular understanding of the underlying mechanisms has been challenging. Recent advances in several model species have prompted a comparative re-examination of these drive systems.

Redefining the Distributional Boundaries and Phylogenetic Relationships for Ctenomids From Central Argentina

Cecilia Soledad Carnovale et al.

Summary: Subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys, with about 68 recognized living species, inhabit diverse habitats and require a reevaluation of their systematic and phylogenetic relationships, particularly in the Pampas region of Argentina. The recent evolutionary history and taxonomic classification of these rodents suggest that different groups within the genus may actually belong to the same biological species. Further research is needed to clarify the evolutionary relationships and conservation implications of these findings.
