Three toes and three modes: Dynamics of terrestrial, suspensory, and vertical locomotion in brown‐throated three‐toed sloths (Bradypodidae, Xenarthra)

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 ...

A translocation experiment for the conservation of maned sloths, Bradypus torquatus (Xenarthra, Bradypodidae)

Biological Conservation, 2004
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

Taxonomic revision of maned sloths, subgenusBradypus(Scaeopus), Pilosa, Bradypodidae, with revalidation ofBradypus crinitusGray, 1850

Journal of Mammalogy, 2022
AbstractWe present a taxonomic revision of maned sloths, subgenus Bradypus (Scaeopus), a taxon endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and currently composed of a single species, the vulnerable Bradypus torquatus. Our review is based on coalescent species delimitation analyses using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, morphological analyses, and field ...

First observation on mating and reproductive seasonality in maned sloths Bradypus torquatus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae)

Journal of Ethology, 2008
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

Every flight is a surprise: first records of the southern maned three-toed sloth (Bradypus crinitus: Bradypodidae) through drones

Mammalia, 2023
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

FIRST RECORD OF HEMATOLOGIC VALUES IN FREE-LIVING AND CAPTIVE MANED SLOTHS (BRADYPUS TORQUATUS; XENARTHA, BRADYPODIDAE)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2017
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, 1998
AbstractThe 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,

Comparative Phylogeography of the Atlantic Forest Endemic Sloth (Bradypus torquatus) and the Widespread Three-toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus) (Bradypodidae, Xenarthra)

Genetica, 2006
The comparative phylogeographic study of the maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus) and the three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) was performed using a segment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region. We examined 19 B. torquatus from two regions and 47 B. variegatus from three distant regions of Atlantic forest.

Extreme population divergence and conservation implications for the rare endangered Atlantic Forest sloth, Bradypus torquatus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae)

Biological Conservation, 2008
The maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus) is an endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil. This biome has been reduced to 7% of its original extent and the remaining forests are highly fragmented. We analyzed 70 samples from the largest remnant populations in the states of Bahia, Espirito Santo and Rio de Janeiro to characterize ...
