dc.description.abstractWe studied morphological and functional variations in jaws of coastal and mountain populations of subterranean Spalacopus cyanus inhabiting soils with contrasting hardness. We found almost no morphological differentiation between populations in the variables we measured. However, there were clear differences in incisor resistance between them. Apparently, soil hardness did not represent a selective pressure on cururos' digging apparatus. An Andean origin of this genus could explain our results.
