Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Perceptions of nativeness shift quite rapidly over time
Abstract The spread of non‐native species has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges for conservation and ecosystem management. Yet attitudes towards species change, making it possible for non‐native species to be perceived as native after some time.

Analysis of the synaptonemal complex of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus
The synaptonemal complex (SC) of three specimens of the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was analyzed. Thirty-two bivalents (2n = 64) were observed, 31 of them being autosomes and one an XY sexual bivalent.

ABSTRACT Historically, pangolins have not been able to reproduce successfully in captivity and this may be in part due to the lack of knowledge and understanding with regards to the pangolin reproductive system (anatomy, physiology, biology) in all eight species.

Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae with tropism for skin and peripheral nerves. Incessant transmission in endemic areas is still impeding elimination of leprosy. Although detection of M.

ABSTRACT The evolution of the amniote genome is characterized by a striking dichotomy between extreme karyotypic stasis and rapid structural innovation. To identify the mechanisms governing this variation, we provide a comprehensive synthesis of chromosome number and karyotype data across non‐avian reptiles, birds and mammals, integrating a century of ...

THE PRESENCE OF TWO CONCEPTUSES IN THE UTERUS OF A NINE-BANDED ARMADILLO [PDF]
Summary. A nine-banded armadillo was found to contain an early implantation site in the fundic tip of the uterus and an extraordinarily large free blastocyst in the central portion of the uterine cavity. This finding suggests that only the small portion of the endometrium in the fundic tip of the uterine cavity is competent to accept ...
