Abstract excerpt
The allozyme variation in three spiny rat species of the genus Proechimys from Upper Amazonia was studied in relation to their ecology and evolution. The ecological environmental factors and biotopic distribution of species were analyzed. The unusually high allozyme variation was found in P. simonsi and P. sp. (2n = 34) inhabiting native forest biotopes. A relatively low allozyme variation in P. brevicauda was...
