The behaviour and activity budgets of two sympatric sloths; Bradypus variegatus and Choloepus hoffmanni [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 It is usually beneficial for species to restrict activity to a particular phase of the 24-hour cycle as this enables the development of morphological and behavioural adaptations to enhance survival under specific biotic and abiotic conditions.
