In this study I provide a phylogenetic hypothesis for the tribe Oryzomyini that can be used to understand the diversification and evolution of this group of rodents and to revise the current generic-level classification. Morphological and molecular data were used for these purposes in combined and separate analyses. Molecular data consisted of partial sequences (1266 bp) from the first exon of the nuclear gene encoding the interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (IRBP); the morphological matrix comprised 99 characters, including 16 integumental characters, 32 skull characters, 29 dental characters, 7 postcranial characters, and 10 characters from the phallus and soft-anatomy systems. I present anatomical descriptions for each character, including delineation of different states observed among oryzomyines. Results of the combined analysis were congruent with the IRBP-only dataset for oryzomyine higher-level relationships. Morphological analyses, although showing discrepancies from the combined or IRBP consensus cladograms and with low nodal support values, recovered several clades similar to the combined and IRBP analyses. Systematics of the tribe and the evolution of a few pivotal characters are discussed in light of the proposed phylogeny. Different taxonomic arrangements for species currently included in the genus Oryzomys are suggested. Finally, I evaluate evolutionary and biogeographic hypotheses that are compatible with our current knowledge on oryzomyine relationships.

“…Carleton As a fresh-faced assistant curator in 1963, he had revived the earlier natural history explorations in Bolivia undertaken for the American Museum of Natural History, notably those of Anthony and Tate in the 1920s… Over the next three decades, Syd and his field collaborators amassed impressive series of Bolivian mammals that he utilized in numerous taxonomic reports on this biotically rich but poorly understood country, culminating in his weighty treatise (Anderson, 1997) on the 'Mammals of Bolivia, Taxonomy and Distribution.'" A third member of the subfamily Sigmodontinae named in Syd's honor is Oryzomys andersoni described from Bolivia by Brooks et al (2004); this species is currently considered a junior synonym of Cerradomys scotti in the latest revision of the group (Percequillo et al 2008), but geographic variation is not well documented within this species. Brooks and his colleagues (Brooks et al 2004:3) attributed this species to Syd because his "studies of Bolivian mammals have spanned over three decades.…”

On 12 August 2018, the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) lost one of its giants of the latter half of the 20th century when Sydney Anderson quietly passed away at his home in Birmingham, Alabama, at the age of 91. "Syd," to his many friends and colleagues, was born on 11 January 1927 in Topeka, Kansas, to Robert Grant and Evelyn Fern (Hunt) Anderson (Fig. 1). He married Ratia "Justine" Klusmire on 5 August 1951 in Holton, Kansas, where Justine was raised. Three children were born to this marriage-Evelyn Lee Anderson Wheelhouse, who preceded Syd in death; Charles Sydney Anderson; and Laura Lynnette Anderson Dooley. Syd began his post-secondary education with three years (1946-49) at Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas, before matriculating at the University of Kansas (KU) to receive his B.A. in Zoology in 1950. He then completed his M.A. in 1952 and his Ph.D. in 1959 at KU under the direction of Professor E. Raymond Hall. Both his Master's thesis (Anderson 1952; citations appearing with a year date are from the Literature Cited) and dissertation dealt with the montane vole, with the title of his dissertation being "Evolution in the montane vole, Microtus montanus" (see Anderson 1959).Syd began his professional career at KU, where for four years (1955)(1956)(1957)(1958)(1959) he served as Assistant Curator in charge of mammals in the Museum of Natural History, and Instructor in the Department of Zoology while he was undertaking his Ph.D. degree work. In 1960, he took the position (1960)(1961)(1962)(1963)(1964) of Assistant Curator of Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History and progressed through the ranks to Associate Curator (1964( -1969( ) and Curator (1969( -1992. He served as chair of the department from 1974-1981, in which position he led a staff of long-serving mammalogical colleagues, including curators Richard Van Gelder, Karl Koopman, Guy Musser, Hobart Van Deusen, and curatorial assistant, Marie Lawrence. Upon his retirement, he became an emeritus curator, a title he held until his passing. Syd also served as an Adjunct Professor at the City University of New York, from 1969 to 1991, and at New York University in 1973.The breadth of Syd's professional scientific interests can be judged both by his publication record and by the societies that he joined as a life member in addition to the ASM-American Institute of Biological Sciences, American Ornithological Association, and the Southwestern Association of Naturalists (Charter Patron)-as well as the other societies in which he held memberships-AAAS (Fellow, 1963),
