New studies on allozyme genetic distance and variability in akodontine rodents (Cricetidae) and their systematic implications
Allozyme genetic distance and variability were studied by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis in 11 species of rodents of the tribe Akodontini representing four different genera. One species of the phyllotine Calomys was used as an outgroup for comparisons. Thirty presumptive loci were assessed in...
