Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. magdalenae belongs to the so-called trinitatus group of Proechimys species, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other members of this clade: P. trinitatus, P. mincae, P. guairae, P. poliopus, P. chrysaeolus, P. urichi, and P. hoplomyoides.[3][4][5][6]

gollark: Except to some exotic timing channel attacks, but we can just run them in a slower mode to mitigate those if needed.
gollark: Our simulations are very good. Indistinguishable from reality, even.
gollark: You said.
