	Octodon - LoveToKnow 1911

	Comparative Placentation
		Biological background: Octodon degus is one of the smallest South American hystricognath rodents (Figure 1) and lives in rocky habitat and bush habitat in areas of medium high elevation (up to 1,200 m) native to Chile.
		Octodon is reported as one of the most common mammals of central Chile with densities of about 40 to 80 individuals per hectare (Nowak, 1999).
		Octodon degus possesses a diploid number of 2N = 58 with a genome size of 8.6 picograms (Honeycutt et al., 2003; Fernandez, 1968).

		A fourth species, Octodon pacificus, has only recently been described, despite the original animals being collected as long ago as 1959.
		Refreshingly, Octodon degus remains a common species, with population densities varying from 10-260 animals per hectare, although 40-80 per hectare is probably nearer the average; and in some agricultural provinces it is even considered a pest.

		Thus, regardless of activity phase preference, photic entrainment of the circadian pacemaker in Octodon degus is similar to most other diurnal and nocturnal species, suggesting that entrainment mechanisms do not determine overt diurnal and nocturnal behavior.
		Whether these active and/or passive components of activity behavior account for variation in chronotype or otherwise alter the manifest phase preference in Octodon degus is unknown.

		An optimal coordination between parents and their offspring involves a sequence of reciprocal behaviors to ensure the adequate care of the young, which is critical for a healthy physical, emotional, and social development.
		We assessed in the South American precocial species, Octodon degus, whether alterations of glutamatergic function of the limbic system induced by parental deprivation may be a neural correlate for such behavioral changes.
		The results demonstrate that early life events can influence the expression of transmitter receptors and that maternal behavior, acting to control the pup's socio-emotional environment, is a key factor for regulating such developmental events.
