Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the spiny rats (Proechimys goeldii) found in the Amazon, revealing two distinct genetic groups based on chromosomal and DNA analysis.
- Researchers identified two cytotypes (A and B), showing notable differences in their karyotypes, including chromosome structure and composition.
- The Xingu River acts as a geographical barrier that separates these populations, which helps explain observed genetic diversity and contributes to the concept of cryptic species in this region.
