Two major groups occur, the\n                    <jats:italic>Rattus<\/jats:italic>\n                    species and the Hydromyini. Investigations on their reproductive biology have shown that all species of\n                    <jats:italic>Rattus<\/jats:italic>\n                    have large scrotal testes which produce abundant spermatozoa. The sperm head contains a single apical hook in which a nuclear extension occurs. In female\n                    <jats:italic>Rattus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , the litter size varies from about 4 to 12 across the species. In sexually mature male hydromyine rodents, marked interspecific differences occur in relative testes mass from about 0.5% to 3% body mass in most species to only 0.1% body mass in most\n                    <jats:italic>Notomys<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Most male\n                    <jats:italic>Notomys<\/jats:italic>\n                    also have a highly divergent reproductive tract, with the penis containing large spines, whereas the female has a small, highly muscular vagina which facilitates locking between the pair at the time of mating. The hydromyine sperm morphology also varies markedly across the species, with most having a complex sperm head with an apical hook together with two ventral processes that contain actin. In a few species, a simpler sperm head occurs with only one, or no, apical hook. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the\n                    <jats:italic>Rattus<\/jats:italic>\n                    genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1749-4877.70165","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,29]],"date-time":"2026-08-29T08:16:18Z","timestamp":1787991378000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Australian Hydromyine Rodents\u2014Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"given":"William G.","family":"Breed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Schools of Medical and Biological Sciences Adelaide University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher M.","family":"Leigh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schools of Medical and Biological Sciences Adelaide University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleanor J.","family":"Peirce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schools of Medical and Biological Sciences Adelaide University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"429","DOI":"10.1071\/WR9960429","article-title":"Use of External Mound Structures as Indicators of the Presence of the Pebble\u2010Mound Mouse, Pseudomys chapmani, in Mound Systems","volume":"23","author":"Anstee S.
