Variación no alométrica en el cráneo del perezoso bayo Bradypus variegatus (Schinz, 1825) (Mammalia, Pilosa, Bradypodidae)

open access: yesGraellsia, 2019
El perezoso bayo Bradypus variegatus (Schinz, 1825) es un mamífero monomórfico, de ontogenia craneal poco conocida. En este estudio analizamos la alometría estática entre tamaño y forma, utilizando 21 especímenes diferentes de edades diversas.

Exotic animal cafés in Japan: A new fashion with potential implications for biodiversity, global health, and animal welfare

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Wildlife trade is a multibillion‐dollar industry and is also largely fueled by the demand for exotic pets. We document, in Japan, the recent exotic pet café phenomenon, and recorded 3793 individuals belonging to 419 different species present in these cafés including many threatened species and several Convention on International Trade in Endangered ...

The ancestral eutherian karyotype is present in Xenarthra. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
Molecular studies have led recently to the proposal of a new super-ordinal arrangement of the 18 extant Eutherian orders. From the four proposed super-orders, Afrotheria and Xenarthra were considered the most basal. Chromosome-painting studies with human

Novel 12S mtDNA findings in sloths (Pilosa, Folivora) and anteaters (Pilosa, Vermilingua) suggest a true case of long branch attraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We sequenced 12S RNA mtDNA for the majority of the extant species of sloths and anteaters and compared our results with previous data obtained by our group using 16S RNA mtDNA in the same specimens and to GenBank sequences of the extinct giant sloth ...

Phylogenetic analysis of 16S mitochondrial DNA data in sloths and anteaters [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...
