Journal ArticleDOI

Arrival and diversification of caviomorph rodents and platyrrhine primates in South America.

TL;DR: Considering both the fossil record and these molecular datings, the favored scenarios are a trans-Atlantic migration of primates from Africa at the end of the Eocene or beginning of the Oligocene, and a colonization of South America by rodents during the Middle or Late Eocene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple molecular evidences for a living mammalian fossil

TL;DR: A large-scale molecular phylogeny of rodents found that Laonastes and Diatomyidae are the sister clade of extant Ctenodactylidae and do not belong to the Hystricognathi, and alternative hypotheses were significantly rejected based on Shimodaira–Hasegawa tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematics and evolution of the subfamily Gerbillinae (Mammalia, Rodentia, Muridae).

TL;DR: The first molecular phylogeny for gerbils based on cytochrome b and 12S rRNA mitochondrial genes is presented and suggests high levels of convergence, probably as a result of strong environmental constraints imposed on these rodents adapted to arid and semi-arid regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolutionary radiation of Arvicolinae rodents (voles and lemmings): relative contribution of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA phylogenies

TL;DR: A first resolved gene tree for Arvicolinae is provided and the comparison of CYB and GHR phylogenetic efficiency supports recent assertions that nuclear genes are useful for resolving relationships of recently evolved animals.
