Structure and function in armadillo limbs (Mammalia: Xenarthra: Dasypodidae)

Journal of Zoology, 2002
AbstractArmadillos are a very diverse group ranging from non‐fossorial Tolypeutini through to the powerful diggers like the giant armadillo Priodontes maximus to the totally subterranean Chlamyphorini. A previous study demonstrated a close relationship between the relative length of the olecranon of the ulna (index of fossorial ability, IFA) and the ...

Morphological and Morphometric Study of Blood Leucocytes from Chaetophractus villosus (Mammalia Dasypodidae)

Comparative Haematology International, 1999
The aim of this work was to study some morphological and morphometric parameters of leucocytes from blood smears of adult armadillosChaetophractus villosus (Mammalia, Dasypodidae). We also analysed the significance of the different sources of variation in these measurements.

Chromosome studies on Dasypus, Euphractus and Cabassous genera (Edentata: Dasypodidae).

Cytobios, 1992
The somatic and meiotic chromosomes of twenty specimens of the Dasypodidae were studied. The wild specimens belonged to the genera Cabassous, Euphractus and Dasypus. The karyotype of D. novemcinctus showed a diploid chromosome number of 64, although some variation was observed in one specimen where 2n was 65, due to a supernumerary chromosome, and ...

Evidence for advanced carnivory in fossil armadillos (Mammalia: Xenarthra: Dasypodidae)

Paleobiology, 2003
The euphractine Macroeuphractus outesi, from the late Pliocene Chapadmalalan SALMA of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, is one of the largest dasypodids known. Its skull preserves features remarkable for an armadillo. Its complete dental arcade and large caniniform teeth have received attention in the literature as indicative of scavenging behavior ...

Armadillos Order Cingulata, Family Dasypodidae

2009
Abstract Armadillos were included in the same order with anteaters and sloths, but are now treated as a separate order (Gardner, 2005). There are 9 genera and about 21 species of armadillos, most of which are restricted to South America. Two species occur in Central America and SE Mexico.

The correct name of the endemic Dasypus (Cingulata: Dasypodidae) from northwestern Argentina

Zootaxa, 2014
We show that Dasypus mazzai Yepes 1933 is a senior synonym of Dasypus yepesi Vizcaíno 1995. We present morphological evidence that the holotype of D. mazzai is not a juvenile of Dasypus novemcinctus or any other species of this genus, but a distinct endemic species from northwestern Argentina undistinguishable from D. yepesi.

Fachdidaktische Aufarbeitung der Familie der Dasypodidae

2015
In this thesis, the family of the Dasypodidae will be didactically prepared for classroom teaching. The aim of this diploma thesis is to introduce the order of Cingulata (armored placental mammals), a geologically very old group, to students and to provide them with a detailed insight into the modes of life of their extinct and living representatives ...
