What makes each of us unique? The nine-banded armadillo as a model to study individuality [PDF]
Frontiers in Mammal ScienceThe human brain is the foundation of our identity as a species and as individuals. It is where our unique sensations, emotions, and thoughts arise. The same way no two individuals are alike, no two brains are identical.

Potential Distribution of Colonizing Nine-Banded Armadillos at Their Northern Range Edge
Diversity, 2021 The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) has become a recent addition to the local fauna of Illinois as a response to habitat alteration and climate change. This range expansion has resulted in the presence of armadillos in areas not predicted by

Orientation selectivity in the visual cortex of the nine-banded armadillo.
J Neurophysiol, 2017 Orientation selectivity in primary visual cortex (V1) has been proposed to reflect a canonical computation performed by the neocortical circuitry. Although orientation selectivity has been reported in all mammals examined to date, the degree of selectivity and the functional organization of selectivity vary across mammalian clades.

Population dynamics and range expansion in nine-banded armadillos. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding why certain species can successfully colonize new areas while others do not is a central question in ecology. The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is a conspicuous example of a successful invader, having colonized much of the ...
