Euryoryzomys Emmonsae
''Euryoryzomys emmonsae'', also known as Emmons' rice rat or Emmons' oryzomys, is a rodent from the Amazon rainforest of Brazil in the genus ''Euryoryzomys'' of the family Cricetidae. Initially misidentified as '' E. macconnelli'' or '' E. nitidus'', it was formally described in 1998. A rainforest species, it may be scansorial, climbing but also spending time on the ground. It lives only in a limited area south of the Amazon River in the state of Pará, a distribution that is apparently unique among the muroid rodents of the region. ''Euryoryzomys emmonsae'' is a relatively large rice rat, weighing , with a distinctly long tail and relatively long, tawny brown fur. The skull is slender and the incisive foramina (openings in the bone of the palate) are broad. The animal has 80 chromosomes and its karyotype is similar to that of other ''Euryoryzomys''. Its conservation status is assessed as "Data Deficient", but deforestation may pose a threat to this species. Taxonomy In ...

Guy Musser
Guy Graham Musser (August 10, 1936 – October 2019) was an American zoologist. His main research was in the field of the rodent subfamily Murinae, in which he has described many new species. Musser was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. He attended elementary and secondary public schools until 1955 and in 1967 obtained a PhD at the University of Michigan with a thesis about the taxonomy of the Mexican gray squirrel (''Sciurus aureogaster''). In 1966 he joined the American Museum of Natural History where he became curator of mammals. Since his retirement in 2002 he is curator emeritus. In the 1960s and 1970s he published numerous articles on squirrels, Neotominae and Murinae. In the 1970s he conducted a three-year expedition to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi where he discovered several new mice and rat species. The results of this expedition are still not fully published. In the early 1980s he published some of his most important works including ''Notes on systematics of Indo-Mal ...

Conservation Status
The conservation status of a group of organisms (for instance, a species) indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats. Various systems of conservation status exist and are in use at international, multi-country, national and local levels as well as for consumer use. International systems IUCN Red List of Threatened Species The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the best known worldwide conservation status listing and ranking system. Species are classified by the IUCN Red List into nine groups set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation. Also included are species that have gone ext ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
DNA Sequence
DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence – the order of nucleotides in DNA. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. The advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and discovery. Knowledge of DNA sequences has become indispensable for basic biological research, DNA Genographic Projects and in numerous applied fields such as medical diagnosis, biotechnology, forensic biology, virology and biological systematics. Comparing healthy and mutated DNA sequences can diagnose different diseases including various cancers, characterize antibody repertoire, and can be used to guide patient treatment. Having a quick way to sequence DNA allows for faster and more individualized medical care to be administered, and for more organisms to be identified and cataloged. The rapid speed of sequencing attained with modern D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Euryoryzomys Russatus
''Euryoryzomys russatus'', also known as the russet oryzomys, russet rice rat, or big-headed rice rat, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is a member of the genus ''Euryoryzomys'', which was split off from ''Oryzomys'' in 2006. It was first described by Johann Andreas Wagner in 1848. It is found in southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. It is considered a large species in its genus, with a reddish-brown coat, long tail length, and large skull. It is a terrestrial rodent, spending its time foraging for seeds, fruits, and insects. It is listed by the IUCN as least concern, although studies have shown it to be influenced by anthropogenic disturbances. Predators consist of small members of the order Carnivora. Etymology The prefix eury- comes from the Greek word 'eurys'' meaning "wide" or "broad". The specific epithet ''russatus'' comes from the Latin word 'russatus', meaning "clothed in red". Taxonomy ''Euryoryzomys russatus'' (Wagner, 184 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Holotype
A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism, known to have been used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described. It is either the single such physical example (or illustration) or one of several examples, but explicitly designated as the holotype. Under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), a holotype is one of several kinds of name-bearing types. In the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) and ICZN, the definitions of types are similar in intent but not identical in terminology or underlying concept. For example, the holotype for the butterfly '' Plebejus idas longinus'' is a preserved specimen of that subspecies, held by the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. In botany, an isotype is a duplicate of the holotype, where holotype and isotypes are often pieces from the same individual plant or samples from the same gathering. A holotype is not necessarily "typ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Specific Name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet or species epithet) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is ''Homo sapiens'', which is the species name, consisting of two names: ''Homo'' is the " generic name" (the name of the genus) and ''sapiens'' is the "specific name". Historically, ''specific name'' referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the specific the proper term for ...

Transandinomys
''Transandinomys'' is a genus of rodents in the tribe Oryzomyini of family Cricetidae. It includes two species—'' T. bolivaris'' and '' T. talamancae''—found in forests from Honduras in Central America south and east to southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Venezuela in northern South America. Until 2006, its members were included in the genus ''Oryzomys'', but phylogenetic analysis showed that they are not closely related to the type species of that genus, and they have therefore been placed in a new genus. They may be most closely related to genera like ''Hylaeamys'' and '' Euryoryzomys'', which contain very similar species. Both species of ''Transandinomys'' have had eventful taxonomic histories. ''Transandinomys bolivaris'' and ''T. talamancae'' are medium-sized, soft-furred rice rats. The upperparts—brownish in ''T. bolivaris'' and reddish in ''T. talamancae''—are much darker than the whitish underparts. Both species are characterized by ver ...

Hylaeamys
''Hylaeamys'' is a genus of South American oryzomyine rodents found principally in humid forested areas east of the Andes. The species in this genus have historically been placed in ''Oryzomys''. They are most closely related to ''Euryoryzomys'', ''Transandinomys'', '' Nephelomys'', '' Oecomys'', and ''Handleyomys'', and most closely resemble species of the former two genera. They are distinguished from members of ''Euryoryzomys'' by all-dark or indistinct two-tone tail coloration (as opposed to the distinct two-tone tail coloration of ''Euryoryzomys''), from members of ''Transandinomys'' by having shorter whiskers above their eyes that do not extend posteriorly behind their ears, and in both cases by differences in carotid circulation. The genus is named after ''hylaea'' ("forest" in Greek), the term used by Humboldt for the lowland South American rainforests that are the main habitat of the genus. The genus currently comprises the following species: * '' Hylaeamys acritus'' * ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oryzomys Capito
''Hylaeamys megacephalus'', also known as Azara's broad-headed oryzomys or the large-headed rice rat, is a species of rodent in the genus ''Hylaeamys'' of family Cricetidae, of which it is the type species. It is found mainly in lowland tropical rainforest from its type locality in Paraguay north through central Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela onto Trinidad and Tobago. To its west and east, other closely related species of ''Hylaeamys'' are found: '' H. perenensis'' in western Amazonia, '' H. acritus'' in Bolivia, and '' H. laticeps'' and '' H. oniscus'' in the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil. Taxonomy It was first described by Spanish naturalist Félix de Azara. Based on his description, several names were given to the animal, including ''Mus megacephalus'' Fischer, 1814 and ''Mus capito'' Olfers, 1818, both of which were largely forgotten for over a century. When ''capito'' was rediscovered in 1960, it came in use (as ''Oryzomys capito'') f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
