Cricetidae
The Cricetidae are a family of rodents in the large and complex superfamily Muroidea. It includes true hamsters, voles, lemmings, muskrats, and New World rats and mice. At almost 608 species, it is the second-largest family of mammals, and has members throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Characteristics The cricetids are small mammals, ranging from just in length and in weight in the New World pygmy mouse up to and in the muskrat. The length of their tails varies greatly in relation to their bodies, and they may be either furred or sparsely haired. The fur of most species is brownish in colour, often with a white underbelly, but many other patterns exist, especially in the cricetine and arvicoline subfamilies. Like the Old World mice, cricetids are adapted to a wide range of habitats, from the high Arctic to tropical rainforests and hot deserts. Some are arboreal, with long balancing tails and other adaptations for climbing, while others are semiaquatic, with w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Abrotrichini
Abrotrichini, also known as the Andean clade or southern Andean clade,Musser and Carleton, 2005, p. 1087 is a tribe of rodents in the subfamily Sigmodontinae.D'Elía et al., 2007, p. 188 It includes about fifteen species in four genera,Musser and Carleton, 2005 distributed in South America from southern Peru to southernmost South America, including the Patagonian steppes. The earliest known fossils are from the Pliocene of Argentina. Taxonomy Abrotrichines were universally placed in the tribe Akodontini until the 1990s, and some were even classified within the genus ''Akodon''. Allozyme studies in the early 1990s first provided evidence for their distinction from Akodontini, and in 1999 a study analyzing sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome ''b'' gene found further evidence for the distinction between Akodontini and this group and proposed the name Abrotrichini for the latter.Smith and Patton, 1999, p. 106 The name Abrotrichini remained formally unavailable ...
