Caviidae

(2005) quienes indicaron que las variables cuantitativas presentaron variacion intraespecifica, por lo que no es recomendable usarlo como caracter principal de identificacion; no obstante, a nivel de familias los datos numericos obtenidos pueden ayudar a diferenciar entre las familias Cricetidae, Caviidae, Abrocomidae, Chinchillidae y Muridae.

Molecular studies have been useful for more precise phylogenetic classification between members of Caviidae family (Zappes et al., 2014), in this sense, P450c17 from different species have different enzymatic activities in different species of mammals (Shet et al., 2007).

These studies are relevant because Adrian and Sachser (2011) found different mating system in different species of cavies (Caviidae).

Los conjuntos de pequenos mamiferos de CLO estan compuestos mayoritariamente por ejemplares de las familias Cricetidae, Caviidae y Ctenomiydae.

The "paca" belongs to the family Agoutidae, genus Agouti, which together with the families Caviidae, Hydrochoeridae and Dasyproctidae, form the group of the histricognath rodents in the New World (Eisenberg, 1989).

The trapped small mammals belonged to two families (Muridae and Caviidae) within the order Rodentia and one family (Didelphidae) in the order Didelphimorphia.

This life-form is represented in Asia by susliks (Spermophilus and Spermophilopsis, both members of the squirrel family Sciuridae); in North America by ground squirrels (Spermophilus and Ammospermophilus, both Sciuridae); and in South America by guinea-pigs and similar genera (Cavia, Galea, and Microcavia, all of the guinea-pig family Caviidae).

A total of three chipped stone tools tested positive to dog (Canidae) antiserum and three to guinea-pig (Caviidae).

We obtained a total of 341 photographic records of 17 medium- and large-sized mammal species belonging to seven orders and 11 families: Artiodactyla (Cervidae), Carnivora (Canidae, Procyonidae, Mephitidae and Felidae), Cingulata (Dasypodidae), Didelphimorphia (Didelphidae), Lagomorpha (Leporidae), Pilosa (Myrmecophagidae) and Rodentia (Caviidae and Cuniculidae) (Paglia et al., 2012).

- The Galea spixii are rodents belonging to the subfamily Caviinae and family Caviidae. They live in the semiarid Caatinga vegetation of Brazilian Northeastern.
