摘要：
Analysed the structure of completely excavated burrow systems of Tuco-tuco (Ctenomys talarum). Burrow systems of males and females show the same basic design. The main tunnel occupies 48 % of a burrow in total length and is formed by basic units (interfork distances) of 0.9 +/- 0.4 m. Subterranean plant biomass was correlated with burrow length and with the number of branches. Soil granulometry affected the diameter and depth of tunnels and soil humidity was correlated with the main tunnel length.
