The genus Reithrodontomys consists of a group of rodents characterized by a high genetic and chromosomal variability. This genus consists of two subgenera: Aporodon, whose species have highly conservative karyotypes, and Reithrodontomys which, on the contrary, shows a marked chromosomal variability suggesting that a process of megakaryotipic evolution is taking...
Epiphytes are plants that have developed diverse adaptations to live at least one stage of their life cycle on other plants (Phorophytes) without haustoria and they comprise between 9 to 10% of the global plant diversity.
