Fleas and lesions in armadillo osteoderms. [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 Study of lesions caused by flea's ‘bites’ in the bones on the backs of armadillos show that they are actually made by the host's own osteoclasts, not by the flea's own masticatory apparatus. Panels (a, c, e) are reconstructions from high‐contrast resolution X‐Ray Microtomography and (b, d, f) backscattered electron mode scanning electron microscopy ...

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

The fetomaternal interface in the placenta of three species of armadillos (Eutheria, Xenarthra, Dasypodidae) [PDF]
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2012 Background Placental characters vary among Xenarthra, one of four supraordinal clades of Eutheria. Armadillos are known for villous, haemochorial placentas similar to humans. Only the nine-banded armadillo has been well studied so far.

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 12, Page 4757-4764, December 2023., 2023 Conservation agriculture practices offer a low disturbance environment for pest rodents. A high proportion of house mice remained resident in cropping paddocks following reduced‐till harvesting practices. Postharvest habitat modification (stubble flattening) did not result in house mice vacating the paddock.
