Both analysis corroborated the new ...
Oligoryzoms flavescens and O. nigripes are widely distributed and sympatryc in many biomes. The diagnostic characters used to recognize these are not clearly established. In this study description and comparison was conducted of external morphology, anatomy of the skull, teeth, postcranial skeleton, as well as stomach and penis morphology. Statistical analysis was generated from morphometric data. The sample co...
