Phylogeny
Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that P. oconnelli belongs to the so-called semispinosus group of Proechimys species, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other member of this clade: P. semispinosus.[3][4][5]

gollark: Specifically factorials up to 7! or so, it's computationally intractable and/or overflows Discord messages beyond that.
gollark: Oh, I can have it generate a convenient formula for factorials too!
gollark: Hmm, Desmos is fine with the simplified version, fun.
gollark: It's not some sort of optimizer thing, it's literally just Lagrange interpolation bodgily implemented in TypeScript.
