Akodon Glaucinus
''Akodon'' is a genus consisting of South American grass mice. They mostly occur south of the Amazon Basin and along the Andes north to Venezuela, but are absent from much of the basin itself, the far south of the continent, and the lowlands west of the Andes. ''Akodon'' is one of the most species-rich genera of Neotropical rodents. Species of ''Akodon'' are known to inhabit a variety of habitats from tropical and tropical moist forests to altiplano and desert. Fossils are known from the late Pliocene onwards. Taxonomy ''Akodon'' is the largest genus in the tribe Akodontini. Three of its synonyms—''Chalcomys'', ''Hypsimys'', and particularly ''Microxus''—have sometimes been regarded as distinct genera. Neomicroxus was separated in 2013. Previously associated with ''Akodon'', the genera ''Abrothrix'', '' Deltamys'', ''Necromys'', ''Thalpomys'', and '' Thaptomys'' are currently recognized as distinct. Some species of the tribe Abrotrichini are called akodons. The genus contai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Akodon Cursor
The cursor grass mouse or cursorial akodont (''Akodon cursor''), is a sigmodontine rodent from South America. Description The cursor grass mouse is a moderately sized rodent, with a head-body length of , and a tail long. Males are larger than females, weighing an average of , compared with for females. They have a typical mouse-like appearance, with short whiskers and stubby claws on the feet. They have dark to golden brown fur over most of their body, with paler greyish or yellowish underparts. Some have a whitish spot between the ears, but this is not present on all individuals. Cursor grass mice are members of the ''A. cursor'' species group, and very similar in appearance to other members of the group. In particular, they cannot easily be distinguished from the closely related montane grass mouse, which inhabits neighbouring regions to the immediate south. Although the cursor grass mouse is, on average, slightly larger than the montane species, there is too much overlap for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Akodon Caenosus
''Akodon caenosus'' is a rodent in the genus ''Akodon'' found in northwestern Argentina and south-central Bolivia. Since its description in 1918, it has been alternatively classified as a separate species or a subspecies of '' Akodon lutescens'' (formerly ''Akodon puer''). The species ''Akodon aliquantulus'', described from some very small Argentine specimens in 1999, is now recognized as a synonym of ''A. caenosus''. ''Akodon caenosus'' is very small, averaging in weight, and variable in coloration, but generally brown. The underparts are sharply different in color from the upperparts. The skull has a short rostrum (front part), broad interorbital region (between the eyes), and narrow braincase. The karyotype includes 34 chromosomes. ''A. caenosus'' mostly occurs in Yungas vegetation and breeds mainly during the winter. It shares its range with many other sigmodontine rodents, including three other species of ''Akodon''.
