Wildlife Biology, Volume 21, Issue 5, Page 234-245, September 2015., 2015 A variety of Amazonian mammals serve as sources of food for its human inhabitants, but hunting can have a strong negative impact on them. Diversity, abundance, biomass, and average group size of medium‐sized and large mammals are compared across two forest areas of the northern Amazon: the Viruá National Park (protected) and the Novo Paraíso settlement

Convergence of gut microbiomes in myrmecophagous mammals
Molecular Ecology, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1301-1317, March 2014., 2014 Abstract Mammals have diversified into many dietary niches. Specialized myrmecophagous (ant‐ and termite‐eating) placental mammals represent a textbook example of evolutionary convergence driven by extreme diet specialization. Armadillos, anteaters, aardvarks, pangolins and aardwolves thus provide a model system for understanding the potential role of ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2199-2220, August 2026.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.

Mammals' zoogeochemical effects change litter and soil biogeochemistry in a tropical rainforest
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract While most research on nutrient cycling has focused on plant–soil interactions or soil decomposers, recent studies highlight the emerging role of terrestrial mammals in contributing to biogeochemical cycles, a field known as zoogeochemistry. More than half of all mammal species are found in tropical forests, ecosystems currently experiencing ...

When Raptors Are Away, Opossums Will Play: Woolly Opossums as Carrion Feeders in Harpy Eagle Nests
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Scavenging by New World marsupials is rarely documented. We recorded woolly opossums (Caluromys lanatus) scavenging prey remains from a Harpy eagle’s nest in central Brazil. The low overlap in activity periods between the two species may facilitate the behavior observed here.

Rouleaux formation by spermatozoa in the naked-tail armadillo, Cabassous unicinctus [PDF]
Reproduction, 1987 Summary. Spermatozoa from the ductus deferens of a naked-tail armadillo, Cabassous unicinctus, were arranged in rouleaux. The sperm heads were wafer-thin, with the acrosome and nucleus flattened together. Dense subacrosomal material in the equatorial segment of the acrosomal region was present on one surface but not on the other.
