The developmental and functional advantages of vertebrate metaplastic hard tissue is still relatively unclear. Metaplastic tissue forms from the direct transformation of one cell type to another. Specifically, mineralization of preformed dense connective

Ultrastructure of the parotid gland of the nine‐banded armadillo
The Anatomical Record, 1977AbstractThe parotid gland of the nine‐banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was examined by electron microscopy. In general, the ultrastructural morphology of this gland appears similar to that described in other species. The most unusual feature of the gland is that the secretory granules of the acinar cells contain a wide variety of substructures ...

Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) Occupancy and Density Across an Urban-to-Rural Gradient
Southeastern naturalist (Steuben, Me.)- Dasypus novemcinctus (Nine-banded Armadillo) is the only species of armadillo in the US and is notable because it alters ecosystems by excavating extensive burrows used by many other wildlife species. Relatively little is known about its habitat use or

The Nine-Banded Armadillo In Texas and the South
Journal of Cultural Geography, 1981Americans have contributed directly and indirectly to the relatively rapid spread of the nine-handed armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in the United States. Curiosity about its bizarre appearance and growing commerce in live animals and armadillo “baskets” made from its bony carapace or shell have resulted in the transportation and release of this ...

Given the accelerating worldwide expansion of agriculture, biofuel production and managed forest plantations, the future of many tropical mammals depends on understanding why or when some species successfully survive in anthropogenically modified ...

Spermiogenesis in the Nine-Banded Armadillo
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1973The testes of mature armadillos were fixed by either perfusion or immersion. The morphology of the seminiferous tubules and the process of spermiogenesis were studied.The developing spermatids are generally oval in shape and contain a centrally placed nucleus.

Order Edentata (Xenarthra), the “toothless” mammals, consists of only three families: armadillos, sloths, and anteaters. Edentata flourished in the Lower Tertiary Age (30 MYA), but only these three genera have survived. Until recently, there were a number of species with and without teeth that were confined to South America.

Morphology of the prostate gland in the nine-banded armadillo
Cells Tissues Organs, 1980The prostate of the nine-banded armadillo is a compound tubulo-alveolar, bilobed gland situated on the ventral surface of the seminal vesicles. The two lobes, which may be connected by a narrow isthmus of tissue, are encapsulated by a thin layer of connective tissue and are located peripheral to the urethral musculature.

Myoglobin: Quantification in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcintus)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 19761. 1. Myoglobin from the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcintus) was purified on Sephadex G-75. The absorption spectrum and extinction coefficients for HbCO and MbCO were determined between 520 and 590 nm and used to quantify myoglobin within the heart, diaphragm, thigh, triceps and gastrocnemis in six adults and one juvenile. 2. 2.
