Investigation of pathogens in Bradypus torquatus, Brazil

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука
Bradypus 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

Hoffmann's two-toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra). [PDF]

J Anat
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

Hoffmann's two-toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra). [PDF]

J Anat
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Morphological and Imaging Characterization of the Eye and Adnexa of the Lesser Anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla). [PDF]

Anat Histol Embryol
ABSTRACT The southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) is a species vulnerable to environmental disturbances, largely due to increasing overlap between its natural habitat and anthropogenically modified landscapes. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the eye and orbital structures, supported by imaging and histological analyses, is essential to improve ...

Genomic Signatures in Maned Three-Toed Sloths From Ancient to Recent Environmental Changes in Brazil's Threatened Atlantic Forest. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Environmental and climatic changes have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of natural populations, leaving genomic signatures that reflect how species respond to these shifts and their impacts on genetic health. While these insights are essential for unravelling evolutionary histories and informing conservation strategies, studies on ...

Electrocardiographic studies of the three-toed sloth, Bradypus variegatus [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
Electrocardiograms (ECG) obtained with standard limb leads and augmented unipolar limb leads were recorded from 17 unanesthetized adult sloths. The animals were held in their habitual position in an experimental chair. We determined heart rate and rhythm
