Abstract: South American rodents of the genus Ctenomys (tuco-tucos) occupy the underground environment, present high specificity to loose and friable soils and have restricted mobility, with a generally fragmented distribution. We use species distribution models (SDMs)… read more here.

Abstract: Marked reductions in population size can trigger corresponding declines in genetic variation. Understanding the precise genetic consequences of such reductions, however, is often challenging due to the absence of robust pre- and post-reduction datasets. Here,… read more here.
