@inproceedings{SNCHEZH2001RediscoveryOO, title={Rediscovery of Oryzomys gorgasi (Rodentia : Muridae). With Notes on Taxonomy and Natural History}, author={J. S{\'A}NCHEZ H. and Jos{\'e} R. Ochoa G. and Robert S. Voss}, year={2001} }
Premieres captures de 11 specimens d'Oryzomys gorgasi au Venezuela, dans les plaines cotieres du nord-ouest. Il s'agit des seuls representants de cette espece qui aient ete collectes depuis la description originale (du nord-ouest de la Colombie): la repartition de ce rongeur est donc etendue de 700 km vers le nord-est. Les nouveaux specimens ressemblent beaucoup a l'holotype. La description de O. gorgasi est completee d'apres l'examen de nouveaux specimens, ce qui permet de comparer avec les…

Abstract.
The type material of Oryzomys curasoae McFarlane and Debrot, 2001, an allegedly extinct species from the island of Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles, is morphologically indistinguishable from…

Morphological comparisons of Handleyomys with the type species of Aepeomys Thomas and Oryzomys Baird provide a basis for preliminary inferences about phylogenetic relationships, but no close relationship between the new genus and any particular oryzomyine clade is indicated by the data at hand.

Analyses of captive‐bred samples from two “species” of Zygodontomys provide prima facie evidence that size‐adjusted differences estimated from field‐collected samples have a genetic basis, and the relevance of these results for current theories concerning the developmental genetics of mammalian morphometric evolution is discussed.
