Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 5, Page 564-577, June 2025.ABSTRACT Suspensory locomotion differs significantly from upright quadrupedal locomotion in mammals. Nevertheless, we know little concerning joint kinematics of suspensory movement. Here, we report three‐dimensional kinematic data during locomotion in brown‐throated three‐toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus). Individuals were recorded with four calibrated

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 4, May 2025.ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.

Post mortem comparison of cardiac anatomy between an electrocuted sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) and five other individuals [PDF]
Knowledge about cardiovascular physiology in Xenarthra species is limited, despite thorough investigation in other mammals. In particular, there is no published literature on the detailed cardiology of either sloth genera found on Costa Rica (Bradypus or

Patterns of mineral lick visitation by Linnaeus's two-toed sloth Choloepus didactylus (Pilosa, Megalonychidae) in eastern Ecuador [PDF]
, 2019 Geophagy involves the consumption of soil to supplement diets and to facilitate digestive processes. We used camera traps to document the use of a salt lick by Linnaeus's two-toed sloth Choloepus didactylus (Linnaeus, 1758) from December 2014 to November

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.Flagship species are used to promote conservation and tourism, but selecting species purely for prescribed appealing characteristics may overlook unique flagships or homogenise selections. A strategy of polling the public can more directly identify existing preferences for species for marketing.

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.Present‐day Amazonia has an impoverished fauna of large folivorous mammals by comparison with African rainforests, but recent fossil discoveries suggest that late‐Quaternary anthropogenic extinctions could account for most size and trophic faunal mismatches.

Reproductive Cycle Stage Assessment in the Two-Toed Sloth (Choloepus Hoffmanni, Preliminary Results
The number of two-toed sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni) has significantly decreased in the last years. Deepening the knowledge of this tropical mammal's reproductive physiology is essential to improve captive breeding within conservation programs for this ...

Mineral Licks: An Overlooked Model System for Species Interactions
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.Previous research on natural mineral licks has focused largely on characterizing the soil properties of the licks and describing the species that consume the minerals, yet mineral licks are also hubs of species interactions, where predators hunt prey, diseases are spread, and social information is transferred.
