Keogh, Hillary Joan Jarvis, J U M Zoology Includes bibliographical references. In this study cuticular scale patterns, groove size and hair measurements have been used as definitive criteria in identification of 42 species of the family Muridae. Keys for the use in identification have been made and detailed descriptions of the hairs of each species, together with micrographs of gelatin imprints and scanning electron micrographs are presented. The taxonomic and practical uses of this method are discussed. It has been found that the cuticular scale pattern on hairs of South African Murid species studied shows a remarkable specific constancy. 2015-01-27T10:00:30Z 2015-01-27T10:00:30Z 1975 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12325 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
