Oecomys Sydandersoni
''Oecomys sydandersoni'' is an arboreal species of rodent in the genus ''Oecomys''. It lives in forest patches in a small area in eastern Bolivia. It is a medium-sized species, weighing about , with mostly grayish and brownish fur and short and broad hindfeet with well-developed pads. First collected in 1964, it was formally described in 2009. The species may be most closely related to '' O. concolor'' and '' O. mamorae'', which are distributed further north and south in South America. Among other characters, the three share a particular arrangement of the arteries of the head. Virtually nothing is known of its biology. Taxonomy An American Museum of Natural History expedition led by Sydney Anderson collected the first three specimens of ''Oecomys sydandersoni'' in 1964 and 1965.Carleton et al., 2009, p. 19 The material was mentioned in passing in a report on the chiggers of the regionBrennan, 1970, p. 811 and tentatively identified as '' O. concolor ...

List Of Mammals Of South America
This is a list of the native wild mammal species recorded in South America. South America's terrestrial mammals fall into three distinct groups: "old-timers", African immigrants and recent North American immigrants. The marsupials and xenarthrans are "old-timers", their ancestors having been present on the continent since at least the very early Cenozoic Era. During the early Cenozoic, South America's only land connection was to Antarctica, so it was effectively cut off from most of the world; as the fragments of Gondwana continued to separate, this connection was lost, leaving South America an island continent. Caviomorph rodents and monkeys arrived as "waif dispersers" by rafting across the Atlantic from Africa in the Eocene epoch, 35 million or more years ago. All the remaining nonflying mammals of South America are recent arrivals, having migrated from North America via Central America during the past seven million years as part of the Great American Interchange; this invasion ...

Oldfield Thomas
Michael Rogers Oldfield Thomas (21 February 1858 – 16 June 1929) was a British zoologist. Career Thomas worked at the Natural History Museum on mammals, describing about 2,000 new species and subspecies for the first time. He was appointed to the museum secretary's office in 1876, transferring to the zoological department in 1878. In 1891, Thomas married Mary Kane, daughter of Sir Andrew Clark, heiress to a small fortune, which gave him the finances to hire mammal collectors and present their specimens to the museum. He also did field work himself in Western Europe and South America. His wife shared his interest in natural history, and accompanied him on collecting trips. In 1896, when William Henry Flower took control of the department, he hired Richard Lydekker Richard Lydekker (; 25 July 1849 – 16 April 1915) was an English naturalist, geologist and writer of numerous books on natural history.
