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 ...

Abstract The maned sloth is a poorly known species endemic to the highly fragmented and disturbed Brazilian Atlantic forest. As this species has a strictly forest habitat and low dispersion ability, it is susceptible to local extinctions in small and isolated fragments. The project started in 1994, translocating stranded sloths found within or nearby

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2023
AbstractLiving sloths exhibit numerous anatomical specializations towards inverted quadrupedalism, however, previous studies have noted a more varied locomotor repertoire than previously anticipated. In this study, we present spatiotemporal gait characteristics and triaxial kinetic data from the brown‐throated three‐toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus ...

Captive health and husbandry of the Bradypodidae
Zoo Biology, 2005Members 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 ...

A PCR‐RFLP assay for gender assignment in the three‐toed sloths (Bradypus, Pilosa, Bradypodidae)
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2010AbstractThe 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 ...

Abstract Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs), are an advanced technology that allows the collection of large amounts of data in a short amount of time, including the detection of cryptic and arboreal animals. Here, we report the first records of the southern maned sloth Bradypus crinitus obtained with thermal cameras from a drone. As

Information on mating season is of paramount importance for our understanding of reproductive behavior, yet little is currently known about the breeding season of Xenarhtra as a whole and sloths in particular. A pair of maned sloths was observed copulating in September 2005 in the Atlantic Forest region of south-eastern Brazil. Our studies on mating of

Bradypus torquatus is a rare and endemic sloth species from the Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Due to a lack of medical information including hematologic reference parameters for the species, hematologic baseline values were determined using samples from 14 clinically healthy B.

Diet of the Atlantic forest maned sloth Bradypus torquatus (Xenarthra: Bradypodidae)
Journal of Zoology, 1998AbstractThe diet of maned sloths was studied throughout 14 months in an Atlantic forest reserve of south‐eastern Brazil. Three adult sloths were observed for a total of 680 h and located monthly by radio‐telemetry. Data were collected on diet, recording the actual time the sloths spent eating plant species. Overall, the diet was composed of 99% leaves,

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
