Architectural Properties of Sloth Forelimb Muscles (Pilosa: Bradypodidae)

open access: yesJournal of Mammalian Evolution, 2017
Tree sloths have reduced skeletal muscle mass, and yet they are able to perform suspensory behaviors that require both strength and fatigue resistance to suspend their body mass for extended periods of time. The muscle architecture of sloths is hypothesized to be modified in ways that will enhance force production to compensate for this reduction in ...

A PCR‐RFLP assay for gender assignment in the three‐toed sloths (Bradypus, Pilosa, Bradypodidae)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, 2010
AbstractThe three‐toed sloths (Bradypus) are slow‐moving arboreal neotropical mammals. Understanding demographic variables (such as sex ratio) of populations is a key for conservation purposes. Nevertheless, gender assignment of Bradypus is particularly challenging because of the lack of sexual dimorphism in infants and in adults, particularly B ...

Life‐history traits and sexual dimorphism of the Atlantic forest maned sloth Bradypus torquatus (Xenarthra: Bradypodidae)

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, 2005
AbstractThis work presents new data from 48 maned sloths Bradypus torquatus captured between November 2002 and November 2003 in three regions of the Atlantic forest where the largest remnant populations of this species are found. Data from another long‐term study, carried out from 1994 to 1996 and from 1999 to the present (n=14), were also used, making

Captive health and husbandry of the Bradypodidae

Zoo Biology, 2005
Members of the Bradypodidae (three-toed sloths) are rarely seen in the zoological setting. To date, minimal published accounts of the medicine and husbandry needs of this family have been documented. It therefore is often presumed that the same techniques of care and handling of the genus Choleopus (two-toed sloths) can be applied; however, these taxa ...

Mitogenomics phylogenetic relationships of the current sloth’s genera and species (Bradypodidae and Megalonychidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2017
We sequenced the complete mitogenome of 39 sloths (19 Bradypus variegatus, 4 B. tridactylus, 1 B. pygmaeus, 1 B. torquatus, 4 Choloepus didactylus, and 10 C. hoffmanni). A Bayesian tree (BI) indicated a temporal split between Bradypus and Choloepus around 31 million years ago (MYA, Oligocene) and the other major splits within each genera during the ...
