The role of Pleistocene climate change in the genetic variability, distribution...
Silva, Cláudia Regina; Ribas, Camila Cherem; Silva, Maria Nazareth Ferreira da; Leite, Rafael N.; Catzeflis, François M.; Rogers, Duke S.The spiny rats, genus Proechimys, have the highest species richness within the Echimyidae family, as well as species with high genetic variability. The genus distribution includes tropical South America and Central America south to Honduras. In this study, we evaluate the phylogeographic histories of Proechimys guyannensis and P. cuvieri using cytochrome b, in a densely sampled area in northeastern Amazon where...
