Echimyini View in CoL (arboreal echimyids)
Echimyine systematics has long been problematic, but the sustained efforts of several researchers have transformed our taxonomic understanding of this interesting radiation of arboreal caviomorphs (Emmons et al., 2015a; Fabre et al., 2017; Emmons and Fabre, 2018; Courcelle et al., 2019). Five species of echimyines (one each of Dactylomys , Isothrix , Makalata , Mesomys , and Toromys ) are known to be present in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve.
ETHNOBIOLOGY: The general term for tree rats is abuk maka (“up rat,” maka being an archaic general term for small rodents), which is included in the general category for rats and mice, tambisëmpi. Two subtypes of abuk maka
