Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Free-Ranging Three-Toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus) [PDF]

Animals, 2022
The increasing interest of tumors in wildlife is important for biodiversity conservation and for monitoring environmental agents and/or contaminants with potential impact on human health. Here we described the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Description of brachial plexus of sloth (Bradypus variegatus) [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira, 2020
: The species Bradypus variegatus is known as the common sloth, an endemic mammal from neotropical regions, which has been suffering from devastating anthropogenic activities. Our study aimed to describe the brachial plexus of B.

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.

Computed Tomography Evaluation of Frozen or Glycerinated Bradypus variegatus Cadavers: A Comprehensive View with Emphasis on Anatomical Aspects [PDF]

Animals
Bradypus variegatus has unique anatomical characteristics, and many of its vascular and digestive tract aspects have yet to be clearly understood. This lack of information makes clinical diagnoses and surgical procedures difficult.

Muscle architectural properties indicate a primary role in support for the pelvic limb of three-toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus). [PDF]

J Anat, 2023
Three‐toed sloths use their pelvic limbs for suspensory support and deceleration during suspensory walking largely via strong, slow contractions of the major hip, knee, ankle, and digital flexor muscles as indicated by their architectural properties.

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,

Tongue papillae morphology of brown-throated sloth Bradypus variegatus (SCHINZ, 1825)

Arquivo Brasileiro De Medicina Veterinaria E Zootecnia, 2014
The Bradypus variegatus inhabits the forests of South America and feeds from leaves, branches and sprouts from different plants. Due to its diet and the lack of literature on the morphological aspect of Xenarthras, five Bradypus variegatus tongues from ...

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 ...

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.
