Lista dos mamíferos do estado de Santa Catarina, sul do Brasil
TL;DR: The mammal fauna from Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil, is one of the least known of the country and works on terrestrial mammals are scarce and new species of aquatic mammals have been registered in the last years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Karyotype and chromosomal polymorphism of an undescribed Akodon from Central Brazil, a species with the lowest known diploid chromosome number in rodents
TL;DR: The diploid chromosome number of 2n = 10 found in a new species of Akodon from two localities of the state of Mato Grosso, Central Brazil, represents the lowest chromosome number known for rodents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosome homologies of the highly rearranged karyotypes of four Akodon species (Rodentia, Cricetidae) resolved by reciprocal chromosome painting: the evolution of the lowest diploid number in rodents

TL;DR: The results indicate that all those closely related species have experienced a recent extensive process of autosomal rearrangement in which, except for ASP, there is still complete conservation of sex chromosomes homologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new species of Calomys Waterhouse (Rodentia, Sigmodontinae)from the Cerrado of Central Brazil
TL;DR: Morphometric analysis significantly distinguished this new species from other Calomys of the Brazilian fauna like C. callosus (Renger, 1830), C. expulsus (Lund, 1841) and C. tener (Winge, 1887) and placed it among the large-sizedCalomys.

B chromosomes in Brazilian rodents
TL;DR: B chromosomes are now known in eight Brazilian rodent species: Akodon montensis, Holochilus brasiliensis, Nectomys rattus, N. squamipes, Oligoryzomys flavescens, OryzomYS angouya, Proechimys sp.
