Abstract excerpt
The rodent Deltamys kempiThomas, 1917 is found on the Coastal Plain - a recently formed geographic region located on Brazil's south-east coast. Considering that Deltamys is the only South American sigmodontine with a sex chromosome system of type X(1)X(1)X(2)X(2)/X(1)X(2)Y, this investigation was focused on the phylogeographic history of this taxon by using gene sequence analysis, trying to clarify when Deltamys...
