Diversity of tuco-tucos (Ctenomys, Rodentia) in the Northeastern wetlands from Argentina: Mitochondrial phylogeny and chromosomal evolution
Tuco-tucos (small subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys) that inhabit sandy soils of the area under the influence of the second largest wetland of South America, in Northeastern Argentina (Corrientes province), are a complex of species and forms whose taxonomic status were not defined, nor are...

The Corrientes group was monophyletic and split into three main clades that grouped related karyomorphs.
