Tuco-tucosan evolutionary approach to the diversity of a neotropical subterranean rodent /[electronic resource] :edited by Thales Renato Ochotorena de Freitas, Gislene Lopes Goncalves, Renan Maestri. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xx, 272 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- The history of Ctenomys in the fossil record: a young radiation of an ancient family -- A short overview of the systematics of Ctenomys: species limits and phylogenetic relationships -- Speciation in the genus Ctenomys: an attempt to find models -- Geographical and macroecological patterns of tuco-tucos -- Phylogeography and landscape genetics in the subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys -- Skull shape and size diversification in the Genus Ctenomys (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) -- Biomechanics and strategies of digging -- Adaptive pelage coloration in Ctenomys -- Environmental and ecological features of the genus Ctenomys -- The diet of ctenomyids -- Ecological physiology and behavior in the genus Ctenomys -- Effects of environmental pollution on the conservation of Ctenomys -- Index.

This book examines the biology of tuco-tucos (Ctenomys) from an evolutionary perspective. Historically, these subterranean rodents have long attracted the attention of scientists due to its remarkable chromosomes variability and rapid diversification. A wealth of knowledge on physiology, ecology, genetics, morphology, paleontology, and taxonomy has been documented in the last 70 years through numerous single publications. In this volume, expert investigators review and frame these essays with the breadth of current understanding. The collection of chapters are presented into the major topics: i) Evolution of Ctenomys, ii) Geographic Patterns, iii) Organismal Biology, and iv) Environmental Relationships. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to both students and researchers and may stimulate further research with this exciting model on a wide range of evolutionary topics.
