Thank you for being my references. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study represents part of the results of a larger work. The result of countless fieldworks, hundreds of sampled capybaras and thousands of kilometers traveled. I am immensely grateful to everyone who took part in this common effort. This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001. First of all, I would like to thank Professor Marcelo Bahia Labruna, who received me in his laboratory, trusted my potential even when I doubted myself and to whom I owe much of what I have built in my academic career so far. From scientific initiation to the end of the doctorate (and maybe beyond). To my (co)advisor who ended up becoming a great friend, Hermes Ribeiro Luz. Thank you for the countless help and conversations, in good and bad times. Thank you for all the knowledge transmitted. Your company was one of the reasons why I came to the end of this journey. I also have enormous gratitude for my friends and professional colleagues Daniel Magalhães “Magras” Lima and Vinícius “Pôhnei” Dayoub, whom have been with me since the beginning of this work, both in my personal and professional life. I would also like to thank the professors and also friends Ricardo Dias and Fábio Gregori, who always kept their door open and was always extremely available for my (countless) doubts in the execution of my analyzes. Thank you for helping with my academic formation. I was lucky to work several times with excellent professionals and researchers, even in extremely exhausting field situations. Diego, Bira, Xico, Matias, Vanessa, Richard and Daniel. I am very grateful that my career has crossed with yours. Many times I felt honored to be part of the same team. My good friends: André “Xena” Storti Martins, Felipe “Joca” Juscele, Matheus “Fuleco” Cavalini. Thank you for more than ten years of friendship. You are an important part of my life. Dom Walter and Bebeth, thank you very much for your endless patience and the wonderful family lunches and meetings at the weekends for the past two years. To a recent friend, with whom, in the few times we met, I invested several hours of good conversations about research, science, academicism and future opportunities. Juan Diaz Ricaurte, my friend, thank you for contributing on the beginning of my journey in Science. To all the laboratory colleagues, who have already graduated or are still here, as well as the technicians, Pedro, Renatinho e Márcio. Thank you for being part of an always pleasant and very good-humored day at VPS. Danival and Vanessa, I owe you a lot of gratitude for always, very promptly, solving any problems and doubts that might arise. All field work was carried out outside the city of São Paulo, which was only made possible by the competence and professionalism of the transport personnel. Fábio, Flávio, Cidão, Mazza, João, Ivan, Muma and Josué. Thank you for all your help over the past four years and for the company in the thousands of kilometers traveled. Field sampling were often made possible thanks to the tireless help of the teams in each location. I would like to thank all the teachers, technicians, professionals, interns and students who showed constant concern for the work to be carried out. Of course, I could not fail to thank all the capybaras who, involuntarily, were an indispensable part of this work. Finally, the most important pillars of my life. To whom I am and I will be forever grateful. Mom, dad, I love you unconditionally. Thank you for absolutely everything you've done for me. Affection, support, encouragement, confidence, studies. I owe all my achievements to the great work you did. My grandmothers, Zelda and Osmilda, who, unfortunately, are no longer with us, but from whom I keep only affection and good memories. Thank you for being part of my personal formation. Di, thanks for being there for me whenever I needed it. Physical distance has never been an issue for our friendship and fellowship. Thank you for the conversations, for listening and for helping with my daily life. Renan, my brother, thanks for being there, even for financial help whenever I needed it. Thank you for being such a companion and friend for the past thirty years. We have fought a lot in this life, but we always remain united. Camila, my life partner. I'm sure that without you, your listening, your support and

However, the entire process cannot be modeled in vitro and guinea pig may be an alternative as animal model for studying human reproduction. Objective: In order to establish morphological patterns of the testicular development and spermatogenesis in guinea pigs, we examined testis to assess changes in the testis architecture, transition time from spermatocytes to elongated spermatids and stablishment of puberty. Materials and methods: We used macroscopic analysis, microstructural analysis and absolute measures of seminiferous tubules by light microscopy in fifty-five guinea pigs from one to eleven weeks of age.

The lesser capybara (Hydrochoerus isthmius) of Panama and the northwestern corner of South America is usually less than 100 cm in length and 30 kg in weight.

  • Species Profile for Capybara
    Environmental Consultants Pty Ltd ACN 108 390 01ABN 37 108 390 012 ______________________________________________________________ Species profile for capybara Report prepared for Tasmania Zoo by Katrina Jensz and Luke Finley December 2014 This publication should be cited as: Jensz, K. and Finley, L. (2014) Species profile for Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris. Latitude 42 Environmental Consultants Pty Ltd. Hobart, Tasmania. 1 SPECIES PROFILE Capybara Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris December 2014 2 1. SUMMARY Capybaras are the largest of rodents, weighing up to 66 kg, with a sturdy, barrel-shaped body and vestigial tail. Their fur is coarse, thin, and is reddish brown. The capybara is well suited to a semi- aquatic life and is able to swim with only the nostrils, eyes and short, rounded ears protruding out of the water. The capybara is strictly a South American rodent and its range extends throughout most of Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela and Columbia, south into the Argentinian pampas, and west to the Andes. The capybara is not globally threatened and is listed as least concern by the IUCN in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, occurrence in a number of protected areas. However, some local capybara populations have decreased or even disappeared where hunting pressure is intense, such as near human settlement and along rivers, which are the main travel routes of hunters. There is very little information on this species as an agricultural pest, although capybaras are sometimes killed by farmers as pests, either because they may attack cereal or fruit crops, or they are viewed as a competitor with domestic livestock. Commodities that may be susceptible to this species would be cereals, grains and fruit.

Here we present the first descriptive allometric pattern study of mandible among the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), based on the study of 37 specimens. Allometric changes in shape were analyzed using geometric morphometrics techniques and the pattern of allometry was visualized. A multivariate regression of the shape component on size, estimated by the logarithm of centroid size, appeared as highly significant. Therefore, a major component of shape variation in these mandibles is related to the attain- ment of adult size (i.e., growth). Key-Words: Capybara; Jaw; Ontogeny; Rodentia; Scaling.
