To date, no study has systematically ev...
We hypothesize phyletic relationships among taxa of the didelphid marsupial genus Philander, based on sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Data are available for six taxa recognized at either the specific or subspecific levels; P. opossum opossum Linneaus (eastern and northeastern Amazonia), P. opossum canus Osgood (western Amazonia), P. opossum fuscogriseus J. A. Allen (southeastern Central Americ...
