This book gathers specialists studying plains vizcachas from very different approaches, including paleontology, systematics, morphology, physiology, development and conservation. It is divided in two Parts, 1) Evolutionary History, and 2) Morphology, Development and Physiology. It will surely be a required reading for any researcher working with caviomorph rodents, mastozoology of the Neotropics or internal anatomy and physiology of mammals.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLuciano Luis Rasia\u003c\/b\u003e is a PhD in Natural Sciences. He is Assistant Researcher of CONICET (National Scientific and Technical Research Council) since 2019, working at the Vertebrate Paleontology Division of the Museo de La Plata, Argentina. He is a vertebrate paleontologist specialized in caviomorph rodents. In his PhD dissertation he studied the extinct chinchillids of Argentina. Now he is working mainly with extinct chinchillioids, with focus in the evolution, paleoecology, paleobiogeography and biostratigraphy of the group. He has collaborated in the study of many Cenozoic faunas of Argentina.
