Differences in cache placement and pilferage by desert rodents (Family: Heteromyidae)
Desert rodents in the family Heteromyidae cache seeds throughout their home ranges either concentrated in one location (larder hoard) or in multiple, small seed piles (scatter hoards). In order to maintain seed resources and minimize cache pilferage (removal by other rodents), heteromyid species …

Delimitating Species Boundaries within the Liomys Pictus- Spectabilis Complex (Rodentia: Heteromyidae)
Previous studies based on morphological, allozymic and mitochondrial sequence data have indicated that Liomys pictus is paraplyletic relative to L. spectabilis. The purpose of this study was to determine the species boundaries that exist within this complex. I estimated phylogenetic relationships …

Biochemical investigations of the evolution and systematics of certain pocket mice (Rodentia: Heteromyidae)
Several of the twenty or more species of pocket mice of the subfamily Perognathinae are questionable as to their systematic status and relationship to other species. In this study, three such species are examined. Perognathus amplus and P. longimembris are so similar in morphology and karyotype …

Host-parasite cophylogeny and rates of evolution in two rodent-louse assemblages
… members of two rodent families (Geomyidae and Heteromyidae) and their associated lice (Geomydoecus and Fahrenholzia, respectively) show a statistically significant pattern of cophylogeny. Both host groups are generally solitary organisms and both louse groups are obligate ectoparasites, often …

Understanding Osmoregulation and Immunity in Heteromyid Rodents Through Insights Gained from RNA-Seq
… to those conditions.</p> <p>Species from the <em>Heteromyidae</em> form an exemplary system for studying the genetics of adaptation in a comparative framework. This new world family of rodents is comprised of three subfamilies (the Dipodomyinae, Perognathinae, and Heteromyinae) that range from the …
