Neoreomys
In this article, we will explore the impact that Neoreomys has had on different aspects of modern society. From his influence on the economy to his role in popular culture, Neoreomys has left a deep mark on our world. We will analyze its evolution over time and the significant changes it has produced in various areas. Furthermore, we will examine the debates and controversies it has generated, as well as the possible future implications of its presence. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this article seeks to provide a broader and deeper understanding of Neoreomys and its relevance today.

Neoreomys is an extinct genus of caviomorph rodent that lived in South America during the Miocene epoch.[1]
Taxonomy
Phylogenetic analysis has shown Neoreomys to be a monophyletic genus not closely related to Dasyproctidae, but instead representing a plesiomorphic member of Cavioidea.[2]
Palaeobiology
Locomotion
Geometric morphometric analysis of the foot of Neoreomys points to it having had a generalised mode of ambulation, in contrast to other Late Oligocene and Early Miocene caviomorphs.[3]
Palaeoecology
Dental microwear analysis has found that Neoreomys australis was a consumer of fruits and seeds.[4]
