This book gathers specialists studying plains vizcachas from very different approaches, including paleontology, systematics, morphology, physiology, development and conservation. It is divided in two Parts, 1) Evolutionary History, and 2) Morphology, Development and Physiology. It will surely be a required reading for any researcher working with caviomorph rodents, mastozoology of the Neotropics or internal anatomy and physiology of mammals. 0aEvolution (Biology). 0aPaleontology . 0aConservation biology. 0aEcology . 0aVertebrates. 0aAnatomy, Comparative.14aEvolutionary Biology.24aPaleontology.24aConservation Biology.24aVertebrate Zoology.24aAnimal Anatomy.1 aRasia, Luciano Luis.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBarbeito, Claudio Gustavo.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAcuña, Francisco.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303149486408iPrinted edition:z978303149488808iPrinted edition:z978303149489540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-49487-1
