Phylogeny, diversity, and biogeography of Southeast Asian spiny rats (Maxomys)

A Systematic Review of SulawesiBunomys(Muridae, Murinae) with the Description of Two New Species

“…An undescribed species of Maxomys identified by mtDNA sequences has been discovered on Gunung Tompotika at the eastern end of the eastern peninsula (Achmadi et al, 2013) and may be another peninsular endemic found in that endemic region labeled ''East Central'' by Evans et al (2003a). The Tompotika area has also yielded samples of Maxomys muschenbroekii that prove to be a geographic haplogroup (derived from mtDNA) distinct from haplogroups identified from the southeastern peninsula and west-central mountain block (Achmadi et al, 2013).…”

Characterisation of the endemic Sulawesi Lenomys meyeri (Muridae, Murinae) and the description of a new species of Lenomys

“…Results from analysis of external traits and morphometric data from skull and dental measurements in population samples (Musser, unpublished data) coupled with analyses of DNA sequences (Achmadi et al, 2013) indicate that Maxomys hellwaldii as listed here will likely prove to be a complex of species, reminiscent of the diversity uncovered in populations of Maxomys surifer and M. whiteheadi from mainland Indochina and islands on the Sunda Shelf, each previously considered as a single species (Gorog et al, 2004).…”

“…Still, it is productive to conjecture on possible modifications of the relevant muscle groups, speculations that can be tested by actual dissection. Two primary muscles, the external and internal pterygoids, originate from the pterygoid-alisphenoid region of muroid rodents localities in the northeastern end of the northern peninsula (east of the Gorontalo region), or are from different reproductively isolated lineages, has yet to be assessed (see Achmadi et al, 2013).
