Allozyme genetic distances and evolutionary relationships in species of akodontine rodents (Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae)

Allozyme genetic distances were estimated for ten species of akodontine rodents, as compared with the Oryzomyini Oligoryzomys longicaudatus, which was used as an outgroup to assess plesiomorphic character‐states. Twenty‐six loci were analysed. Distribution patterns of allele frequencies were determi...
