In addition, rodents are the most commonly used experimental mammals for bio medical research, and they have played a central role in investi gations of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of speciation in mammals. During recent decades, a tremendous amount of new data from various aspects of the biology of living and fossil rodents has been accumulated by specialists from different disciplines, ranging from molecular biology to paleontology. Paradoxically, our understanding of the possible evolutionary relationships among different rodent families, as well as the possible affinities of rodents with other eutherian mammals, has not kept pace with this information "explosion. " This abundance of new biological data has not been incorporated into a broad synthesis of rodent phylo geny, in part because of the difficulty for any single student of rodent evolution to evaluate the phylogenetic significance of new findings from such diverse disciplines as paleontology, embryology, comparative anatomy, molecula | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1985 | 关键词 | Adaptation; biology; embryology; evolution; phylogeny; the origin | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-0539-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-0541-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4899-0539-0 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1985 |
