Bradypus Pygmaeus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2008 Abstract Bradypus pygmaeus Anderson and Handley, 2001, the pygmy three-toed sloth, is a dwarf bradypodid that is 1 of 4 species of Bradypus. It is easily distinguished from its conspecifics by its small size and restricted distribution (endemic to Isla Escudo de Veraguas of Bocas del Toro, off the Caribbean coast of Panama). B.

Morfologia renal do Bradypus torquatus
Biotemas, 2012 Dentre os Xenarthras, as preguiças apresentam uma ingestão hídrica restrita à água das folhas, frutas e legumes. Como primeira abordagem para verificar se esses animais possuem alguma diferença morfofisiológica que possa justificar ou compensar essa ...

The metabolic response of the Bradypus sloth to temperature [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Poikilotherms and homeotherms have different, well-defined metabolic responses to ambient temperature (Ta), but both groups have high power costs at high temperatures.

Renal morphology of Bradypus torquatus [PDF]
Biotemas, 2012 Among the Xenarthras, sloths present a hydric ingestion restricted to water from leaves, fruits, and vegetables. As a first approach to verify whether these animals have some morphophysiological difference which could justify or compensate this low ...

Investigation of pathogens in Bradypus torquatus, Brazil
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наукаBradypus torquatus is the only sloth species threatened by extinction in South America and is classified as endangered due to extinction due to its severely fragmented and reduced area of occupation. This species is a restricted arboreal mammal, spending

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.

Sloths like it hot: ambient temperature modulates food intake in the brown-throated sloth (Bradypus variegatus) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Sloths are considered to have one of the lowest mass-specific metabolic rates of any mammal and, in tandem with a slow digestive rate, have been theorized to have correspondingly low rates of ingestion. Here, we show in a study conducted over five months,

Phylogenetic analysis of 16S mitochondrial DNA data in sloths and anteaters
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 ...
