This variation was observed with a frequency of about 70% in cells with 2n = 64 and 30% in cells with 2n = 65, in the three different tissues: peripheral blood in all species; bone marrow and spleen in D. prymnolopha and D. leporina (Tables II, III and IV).
In D. leporina and Dasyprocta sp., the Y chromosome was almost totally heterochromatic (Figures 5B and C).
This variation is because of the presence of one supernumerary chromosome metacentric in the D. prymnolopha, D. leporina and Dasyprocta sp.

Red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina) home range use in an Amazonian forest: implications for the aggregated distribution of forest trees
We radio-tracked five red-rumped agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina) for two to nine months each at the Estacao Ecologica Ilha de Maraca in the northern Brazilian Amazon (Roraima).
These results suggest that agoutis, as extremely short-distance seed dispersers, may contribute to the aggregated dispersion pattern of large-seeded tropical forest trees.
