The manus ofmylodon darwiniiOwen (Tardigrada, Mylodontidae) and its phylogenetic implications
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2016 ABSTRACTThe first nearly complete and articulated manus of the ground sloth Mylodon darwinii, from the upper Pleistocene of Argentina, is described. It shares similarities with Mylodonopsis ibseni from Brazil, including a cuneiform with a distinct pisiform facet, an obliquely concave ulnar facet, and a prominent distolateral process, as well as a ...

Diet and environment of Mylodon darwinii based on pollen of a Late-Glacial coprolite from the Mylodon Cave in southern Chile [PDF]
Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2021 We studied the pollen content of a well-preserved coprolite of a Late-Glacial giant ground sloth (Mylodon darwinii) from the Mylodon Cave, province Última Esperanza, southern Chile. The specimen was obtained in 1909 and has been stored in a museum in the Netherlands since.

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2022 Located 51.5°S in the vicinity of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, Cerro Benítez and the glacial valley of Lago Sofía host several caves and rock shelters that were occupied by megafauna and humans during the Late Pleistocene, including the Mylodon Cave and two of the oldest archaeological sites in Patagonia. During the last glaciation, Cerro Benítez

On the Structure of the Hairs of Mylodon Listai and other South American Edentata [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 1901 ABSTRACT The interest attaching to the disco preserved skin of a great Ground Sloth, very closely allied to if not identical with Mylodon, was considerably increased when it was found that the hairs do not agree in their minute structure with those of the Tree Sloths, Bradypus and Cholœpus.

Molecular phylogeny of the extinct ground sloth Mylodon darwinii. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 DNA was extracted from the remains of 35 ground sloths from various parts of North and South America. Two specimens of Mylodon darwinii, a species that went extinct at the end of the last glaciation, yielded amplifiable DNA. However, of the total DNA extracted, only approximately 1/1000 originated from the sloth, whereas a substantial part of the ...

Holocene Geomagnetic Excursion at Mylodon Cave, Ultima Esperanza, Chile.
Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity, 1995 Paleomagnetic data from a section of a sedimentary sequence at Mylodon Cave (Seno de Ultima Esperanza, Chile) are reported. According to previous 14C data, the sediments have dates between 13, 500 and 5, 360 y.b.p. The section that is analyzed here is younger than 12, 000 y.b.p. Natural Remanent Magnetization (NRM) was measured from 39 successive cores,

Hepatic Expression of Cu/Zn-Superoxide Dismutase Transcripts in Response to Acute Metal Exposure and Heat Stress in Hemibarbus mylodon (Teleostei: Cypriniformes) [PDF]
Fisheries and aquatic sciences, 2009 Hemibarbus mylodon (Cypriniformes) is an endemic freshwater fish species in the Korean peninsula, for which urgent conservation efforts are needed. To understand their stress responses in relation to metal toxicity and thermal elevation, we performed a real-time RT-PCR-based expression assay of hepatic copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), a ...
