Mesoamerican tree squirrels evolution (Rodentia: Sciuridae): a molecular phylogenetic analysis.
The tribe Sciurini comprehends the genera Sciurus, Syntheosiurus, Microsciurus, Tamiasciurus and Rheinthrosciurus. The phylogenetic relationships within Sciurus have been only partially done, and the relationship between Mesoamerican species remains unsolved. The phylogenetic relationships of the Mesoamerican tree squirrels were examined using molecular data. Sequence data publicly available (1...
متن کاملPhylogeny of the Squirrels (Rodentia, Sciuridae)
A number of phylogenetic studies have been performed on the family Sciuridae. This work seeks to validate and extend existing phylogenetic studies of Sciuridae with an analysis of the divergence times of a selected set of species. A total of five genes; 2 mitochrontrial ribosomal RNA genes (12S, 16S), a mitochrontrial protein coding gene (cytb) and two nuclear genes (IRBP, RAG1) were studied ac...
متن کاملHelminths of Squirrels (Sciuridae) from Mongolia
introduction The geographic distribution of the long-tailed ground squirrel, Urocitellus undulatus (Pallas 1778) extends through a wide band of central Asia including suitable habitats in Kazakhstan across southern and eastern Siberia through Mongolia and into northern China (Tinnin et al. 2002). Although patchy in occurrence through this region, these squirrels are found in great abundance in ...
متن کاملTowards a uniform nomenclature for ground squirrels: the status of the Holarctic chipmunks
The chipmunks are a Holarctic group of ground squirrels currently allocated to the genus Tamias within the tribe Marmotini (Rodentia: Sciuridae). Cranial, postcranial, and genital morphology, cytogenetics, and genetics each separate them into three distinctive and monophyletic lineages now treated as subgenera. These groups are found in eastern North America, western North America, and Asia, re...
متن کاملComparative myology of the forelimb of squirrels (Sciuridae).
The musculature of the shoulder, arm, and forearm was studied in 19 genera of squirrels, representing the Pteromyinae (flying squirrels) and all 7 tribes of the Sciurinae (tree and ground squirrels). The objective was to locate derived anatomical features of functional or phylogenetic significance and to determine how much morphological variation underlies the diverse locomotor behavior of squi...
