Plains vizcachasbiology and evolution of a peculiar Neotropical caviomorph rodent /[electronic resource] :edited by Luciano Luis Rasia, Claudio Gustavo Barbeito, Francisco Acuña. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xiv, 386 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Part I: Evolutionary History -- Chapter 1: Two hundred years of studies on plains vizcachas -- Chapter 2: Pan-Chinchillidae, a once diverse clade -- Chapter 3: The fossil record of Lagostomus: a 10 million years story -- Chapter 4: Morphological variation in the cranium of Lagostomus maximus along its geographic distribution -- Chapter 5: Genetic variation across Lagostomus maximus' geographical distribution in Argentina -- Chapter 6: The chancy history of a supposedly vanished South American rodent, Lagostomus crassus, with remarks on recent extinctions in caviomorphs -- Chapter 7: Use of the vizcacha (Lagostomus maximus) by indigenous societies in the Pampas ecoregion (Argentina) -- Chapter 8: From pest to vulnerable species: combining ecological and behavioural knowledge for the conservation and management of Lagostomus maximus -- Chapter 9: Plains vizcacha endoparasites: an exploration of diversity, health and ecology -- Part II: Morphology, Development and Physiology -- Chapter 10: Skull ontogeny and sexual dimorphism -- Chapter 11: Morphophysiological characteristics of the female reproductive system -- Chapter 12: Poly-implantation and embryonic death -- Chapter 13: Placentation and placenta -- Chapter 14: Neuroanatomy and brain histological atlas of the South American plains vizcacha -- Chapter 15: Post-implantation embryo development in the South American plains vizcacha, Lagostomus maximus (Rodentia, Caviomorpha) -- Chapter 16: Reproductive neuroendocrinology of the female South American plains vizcacha, Lagostomus maximus -- Chapter 17: Synchronization of the pineal and pituitary morphophysiology by photoperiodic environmental signals -- Chapter 18: Histological changes in the male reproductive system during the annual reproductive cycle -- Chapter 19: Histological and histochemical characteristics of the intestinal tract: Morpho-functional specializations to herbivory.

The plains vizcacha (Lagostomus maximus) is a remarkable rodent of the Neotropic given several peculiar aspects of its biology, some of them quite unique among rodents or even among mammals. This book gathers specialists studying plains vizcachas from very different approaches, including paleontology, systematics, morphology, physiology, development and conservation. It is divided in two Parts, 1) Evolutionary History, and 2) Morphology, Development and Physiology. It will surely be a required reading for any researcher working with caviomorph rodents, mastozoology of the Neotropics or internal anatomy and physiology of mammals.
