An Exploratory Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Between <i>Choloepus didactylus</i> and <i>Homo sapiens</i>. [PDF]
Genes (Basel)Background/Objectives: Sloths, a group of xenarthran mammals currently comprising six recognized distinct species, have been the focus of much physiological animal research due to their extremely slow metabolisms, deliberate movements, and their status as a species relatively unchanged for over 26 million years. However, despite all the effort aimed at

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