DOES Bradypus tridactylus Linnaeus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) OCCUR IN PANAMA? [PDF]
Tecnociencia, 2016 This note reports the observation of individuals of the genus Bradypus in Darien Forest, Panama, that strongly resemble Bradypus tridactylus rather than the twospecies reported for Panama. The presence of B.

Phylogenetic analysis of 16S mitochondrial DNA data in sloths and anteaters [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2003 We sequenced part of the 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene in 17 extant taxa of Pilosa (sloths and anteaters) and used these sequences along with GenBank sequences of both extant and extinct sloths to perform phylogenetic analysis based on parsimony, maximum ...

Morphological analysis of teeth in Bradypus variegatus Schinz, 1825 (Mammalia, Bradypodidae)
Biotemas, 2016 Among the sloth species, we may highlight the Bradypus variegatus, found especially in northeastern Brazil. Given the importance and scarcity of information about the digestive tract of wild animals, this article aims to describe dental morphology in ...

Melanism in Bradypus variegatus (Pilosa, Bradypodidae)
Notas sobre Mamíferos Sudamericanos, 2020 In January 2011, a brown-throated three-toed sloth, Bradypus variegatus, was observed in an Atlantic Forest area from Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. The individual presented a blackish fur, indicating a melanic condition.

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

Morphology, molecular phylogeny, and taxonomic inconsistencies in the study ofBradypussloths (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2011 This study focuses on morphological and molecular data analyses, misidentifications, and phylogenetic inconsistencies regarding Bradypus variegatus (the brown-throated sloth) and B. tridactylus (the pale-throated sloth). Misidentifications were recorded on 75 of 313 museum specimens of Bradypus.

Architectural Properties of Sloth Forelimb Muscles (Pilosa: Bradypodidae)
Journal 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 ...

Journal 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
