Evolutionary and systematic relationships among tuco-tucos of the Ctenomys pundti complex (Rodentia: Octodontidae): A cytogenetic and morphological approach

We present new cytogenetic, morphometric, and sperm morphology data of eight populations belonging to the C. pundti complex from Southern Córdoba and Eastern La Pampa Provinces in Argentina. The diploid numbers ranged from 2n = 44 to 2n = 50, and C- bands revealed a pattern of centromeric and perice...
