Analysis of twelve genomes of the bacterium Kerstersia gyiorum from brown-throated sloths (Bradypus variegatus), the first from a non-human host. [PDF]

PeerJ
Kerstersia gyiorum is a Gram-negative bacterium found in various animals, including humans, where it has been associated with various infections. Knowledge of the basic biology of K. gyiorum is essential to understand the evolutionary strategies of niche

Cardiovascular responses to locomotor activity and feeding in unrestrained three-toed sloths, Bradypus variegatus [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004
Heart rate (HR) and systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and mean (MBP) blood pressure were recorded by biotelemetry in nine conscious unrestrained sloths for 1 min every 15 min over a 24-h period.

Myology of the pelvic limb of the brown‐throated three‐toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus)

Journal of Anatomy, 2022
Tree sloths rely on their limb flexors for bodyweight support and joint stability during suspensory locomotion and posture. This study aims to describe the myology of three‐toed sloths and identify limb muscle traits that indicate modification for ...

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 ...

Bradypus variegatus (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2010
Abstract Bradypus variegatus Schinz, 1825 (the brown-throated three-toed sloth), is 1 of 4 extant three-toed sloths. A high-canopy folivore, B. variegatus is distributed over southern Central America and northern and central South America and is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources because ...

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Análise morfológica e morfométrica das gônadas de preguiça (Bradypus variegatus Schinz, 1825)

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2013
A preguiça pode ser designada, zoologicamente, como um mamífero da classe Eutheria, ordem Edentata, subordem Xenarthra e família Bradypodidae. O gênero Bradypus é constituído de três espécies distintas: a preguiça-de-bentinho (B. tridactylus), restrita à

Chromosome painting in three-toed sloths: a cytogenetic signature and ancestral karyotype for Xenarthra

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Xenarthra (sloths, armadillos and anteaters) represent one of four currently recognized Eutherian mammal supraorders. Some phylogenomic studies point to the possibility of Xenarthra being at the base of the Eutherian tree, together or not with
