Major radiations in the evolution of Caviid rodents: reconciling fossils, ghost lineages, and relaxed molecular clocks.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Pérez María Encarnación, Pol Diego

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Caviidae is a diverse group of caviomorph rodents that is broadly distributed in South America and is divided into three highly divergent extant lineages: Caviinae (cavies), Dolichotinae (maras), and Hydrochoerinae (capybaras). The fossil record of Caviidae is only abundant and diverse since the late Miocene. Caviids belongs to Cavioidea sensu stricto (Cavioidea s.s.) that also includes a diverse...
