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

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 821-846, October 2026.We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...
