The variable grass mouse (Akodon varius) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is known only from Bolivia, where it is found at elevations from 400 to 3000 m. [1]
The Australian pied cormorant, also known as the pied cormorant, pied shag, or great pied cormorant, is a medium-sized member of the cormorant family. It is found around the coasts of Australasia. In New Zealand, it is usually known either as the pied shag or by its Māori name of kāruhiruhi. Older sources may refer to it as the "yellow-faced cormorant".
Akodon is a genus consisting of South American grass mice. They mostly occur south of the Amazon Basin and along the Andes north to Venezuela, but are absent from much of the basin itself, the far south of the continent, and the lowlands west of the Andes. Akodon is one of the most species-rich genera of Neotropical rodents. Species of Akodon are known to inhabit a variety of habitats from tropical and tropical moist forests to altiplano and desert. Fossils are known from the late Pliocene onwards.
The São Paulo grass mouse is a rodent species from South America. It is found in Brazil.
The Bogotá grass mouse or Bogotá akodont, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the Andes eastern and central Colombia and northwestern Venezuela. Alavarado-Serrano and D'Elía (2013) have assigned the species to a new genus, Neomicroxus along with Neomicroxus latebricola.
Akodon boliviensis, also known as the Bolivian grass mouse or Bolivian akodont, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in the Andes from southeastern Peru through Bolivia into northwestern Argentina.
The Junín grass mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in Peru.
Koford's grass mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in Peru. It is named after American biologist Carl B. Koford.
The Altiplano grass mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Bolivia, and Peru.
The Cochabamba grass mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in Bolivia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The white-throated or grey-bellied grass mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Argentina and Bolivia.
Akodon spegazzinii, also known as Spegazzini's akodont or Spegazzini's grass mouse, is a rodent in the genus Akodon found in northwestern Argentina. It occurs in grassland and forest at 400 to 3,500 m above sea level. After the species was first named in 1897, several other names were given to various populations now included in A. spegazzinii. They are now all recognized as part of a single, widespread and variable species. Akodon spegazzinii is related to Akodon boliviensis and other members of the A. boliviensis species group. It reproduces year-round. Because it is widely distributed and common, Akodon spegazzinii is listed as "least concern" on the IUCN Red List.
The Puno grass mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru.
The silent grass mouse or slate-bellied akodont is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is endemic to Peru.
Akodon sylvanus, also known as the forest grass mouse or woodland akodont, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in a small part of northwestern Argentina.

The Andean vesper mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru.
Akodon caenosus is a rodent in the genus Akodon found in northwestern Argentina and south-central Bolivia. Since its description in 1918, it has been alternatively classified as a separate species or a subspecies of Akodon lutescens. The species Akodon aliquantulus, described from some very small Argentine specimens in 1999, is now recognized as a synonym of A. caenosus.
