A reciprocal and apparently symmetrical interchange of land mammals between North and South America began about 3 million years ago, after the appearance of the Panamanian land bridge and the number of families in South America rose from 32 before the interchange to 39 after it began, and then back to 35 at present.

The amount of genic divergence within Heteromys from South America most likely precludes the generally accepted view of a recent invasion of South America by these mice.
