Use of Boat Surveys to Provide Complementary Data on the Ecology of Bradypus Tridactylus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) from Northern Amazonia [PDF]
Abstract Here we present new data on relative abundance and diet of Bradypus tridactylus Linnaeus, 1758 resulting from 2,505 km of river based surveys conducted in northern Amazonia. Our sampling effort using a motorized boat provided a low number of B. tridactylus detections (n = 4, relative abundance of 0.02 individuals/ 10 km surveyed).

贫齿目(Edentata)字源于拉丁文,其字首Edentul-,是没牙的意思;字尾-ate是将字首变为形容词。顾名思义,这个目的动物应该没有牙齿。实际上,除食蚁兽(Myrmeccobius fasciatus Waterhouse)一科——食蚁兽科(美洲食蚁兽科)真正没有牙外,其余两个科——犰狳科(Dasypodidae)有多达100颗左右的同型齿(homodont),而树懒科(Bradypodidae ...

Primitive Early Eocene bat from Wyoming and the evolution of flight and echolocation [PDF]
Bats ( Chiroptera) represent one of the largest and most diverse radiations of mammals, accounting for one- fifth of extant species(1). Although recent studies unambiguously support bat monophyly(2-4) and consensus is rapidly emerging about evolutionary ...

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Morphology of hair of two- and three- toed sloths (Edentata: Bradypodidae).
Micromorphological differences between hairs of the two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) and of the three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) were observed by means of scanning electron microscopy. Hairs of the two-toed sloth had longitudinal grooves which exposed a uniform cortex when viewed in cross section.
