Ruiz Leal s/n Parque General San Martín, Mendoza, CP 5500 Argentina, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This contribution is a tribute to José Yepes on the 75th anniversary of his description of the ge- nus Tympanoctomys, and the 90th anniversary of his admission to the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences “Bernardino Rivadavia”. Viscacha rats are the epitome of South American rodents adapted to desert habitats, and are a true model, not only to present different specialized attributes for life in xeric environments, but also as one of the mammals with the highest chromosomal number. In this chapter, we present an overview of the state of knowledge of the genus and related species, regarding aspects such as distribution, ecology, genetic and conserva- tion. Perspectives focus on gaps and unresolved issues that are fascinating and promising research lines. Key words: José Yepes, Octodontids, Rodents, Viscacha Rats Resumen: Esta contribución es un homenaje a José Yepes por los 75 años transcurridos desde que describiera el género Tympanoctomys, y por los 90 años de su ingreso al Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”. Las ratas vizcacha son el epítome de roedores sudamericanos adaptados al desierto, y han constituido un verdadero modelo, no solo por presentar distintos atributos especializados para la vida en ambientes xéricos, sino también como uno de los mamíferos con mayor número cromosómico. -
Discovery of Tetraploidy in a Mammal the Red Viscacha Rat Is Unaffected by Having Double the Usual Number of Chromosomes
brief communications Discovery of tetraploidy in a mammal The red viscacha rat is unaffected by having double the usual number of chromosomes. olyploidy, or having more than a pair of each type of chromosome, is con- abcedfg Psidered to be unlikely in mammals 1 9 because it would disrupt the mechanism of dosage compensation that normally inacti- vates one X chromosome in females1. Also, 10 18 any imbalance in chromosome number should affect the normal developmental 19 27 processes and therefore constitute an evolu- tionary end, as in triploid humans2. Nevertheless, genetic evidence indicates 28 36 that the red viscacha rat, Tympanoctomys 3 barrerae (Octodontidae) , is tetraploid. T. 37 SC 45 barrerae, which is a highly specialized desert rodent4, has the largest chromosome com- plement in mammals5 with a single XY sex- 46 50 10µm XY 10 µm chromosome system (Fig. 1).

These rodents, highly adapted to desert environments, are semi-fossorial with capacity to move on the surface as well as to build burrows. The shape, structure, and size of the limbs are described. Contrary to what was expected for scratch digging semi-fossorial species, Tympanoctomys have slender humerus, radius and ulna; with narrow epicondyles of the humerus and short olecranon of the ulna with poorly developed processes. -

HOLOCENE DISTRIBUTION OF OCTODONTID RODENTSRevista Chilena de Historia Natural383 76: 383-389, 2003 76: ¿¿-??, 2003 Holocene distribution of Octodontid rodents in central Chile Distribución holocénica de roedores octodóntidos en Chile central BÁRBARA SAAVEDRA & JAVIER A. SIMONETTI Departamento de Ciencias Ecológicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Chile, Casilla 653, Santiago, Chile; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We describe the Holocene distribution of the Octodontids Aconaemys fuscus, Octodon bridgesi, O. degus, O. lunatus, O. pacificus and Spalacopus cyanus from Central Chile. We compared ancient and present day ranges. The Holocene pattern was inferred from zooarchaeological records. Octodon degus, O. lunatus, O. bridgesi, and Aconaemys fuscus showed a reduction in their geographic range. Although specific mechanisms remain to be tested, human disturbance seems to be the distal factor that explains the reduction of ranges for some taxa. Key words: Octodontidae, Holocene, central Chile, zooarchaeology. RESUMEN Describimos la distribución holocénica de los roedores octodóntidos Aconaemys fuscus, Octodon bridgesi, O. degus, O. lunatus, O. pacificus y Spalacopus cyanus en Chile central, y la comparamos con su distribución actual. El patrón de distribución holocénico se infirió de registros zooarqueológicos. Octodon degus, O. lunatus, O. bridgesi y Aconaemys fuscus muestran una reducción en su rango geográfico. A pesar de que los mecanismos específicos que explican este patrón permanecen sin ser resueltos, la perturbación humana parece ser el factor distal que explicaría la reducción en el rango de distribución para algunas de estas especies.

E-mail [email protected] (PT), [email protected] (SOL) * Corresponding author Mountain viscachas of the genus Lagidium Meyen 1833 are medium-to-large hystricomorph rodents (1.5 -- 3 kg) that live in rocky outcrops from Ecuador to southern Argentina and Chile. Lagidium includes more than 20 nominal forms, most of them based on one or two individuals, which were first described during the 18th and 20th. Subsequent revisions reduced the number of species to three to four, depending upon the author. Within the genus, Lagidium viscacia (Molina, 1782) is the most widely distributed species, with populations apparently extended from western Bolivia to southern Argentina and Chile. We reviewed > 100 individuals of Lagidium, including skins and skulls, most of them collected in Argentina. We performed multivariate statistical analysis (i. e., principal component analysis [PCA], discriminant analysis [DA]) on a subset of 55 adult individuals grouped according to their geographical origin, using 16 skull and tooth measurements. In addition, we searched for differences in cranial anatomy across populations. PCA and DA indicate a moderate overlap between individuals from southern Argentina, on one hand, and northwestern Argentina, western Bolivia and northern Chile, on the other. The external coloration, although variable, showed a predominance of gray shades in southern Argentina and yellowish gray in northwestern Argentina. -

Säugetierkunde 59 (1994) 27-41 © 1994 Verlag Paul Parey, Hamburg und Berlin ISSN 0044-3468 Island rodents: a new species of Octodon from Isla Mocha, Chile (Mammalia: Octodontidae) By R. Hutterer Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, Germany Receipt of Ms. 10. 2. 1993 Acceptance of Ms. 22. 3. 1993 Abstract A hitherto unknown species of Octodon occurs on Isla Mocha, a small coastal Island in the Valdivian rainforest zone of central Chile. The new Pacific degu {Octodon pacificus n. sp.) exhibits characters such as soft and long für, long and poorly tufted tail, homodont upper dentition, barely reduced third lower molars, broad and asymmetrical teeth with long reentrant folds füll of cement, all of which are considered as plesiomorphic for the genus. It is suggested that geographic Isolation led to the preservation of primitive characters. The new species probably represents the sister taxon of Octodon hridgesii, one of the three mainland species currently known from Chile and Argentina. The phylogenetic significance of the new degu is discussed. Introduction Hystricognath rodents of the family Octodontidae occur in west-central South America, from where six genera (Aconaemys, Octomys, Octodon, Octodontomys, Spalacopus, Tym- panoctomys) with ten species are known from Bolivia, Chile and Argentina (Pearson 1984; CoNTRERAS et al. 1987; Mares and Ojeda 1982; Gallardo and Reise 1992). The systematic Status and the contents of the family are rather controversial as no striking synapomorphies are known to characterize the group (Glanz and Anderson 1990); some authors include the Ctenomyidae (Reig 1970, 1986; Reig and Quintana 1991), others the Abrocomidae (Ellerman 1940). -
