Biologging as an important tool to uncover behaviors of cryptic species: an analysis of giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Advances in biologging have increased the understanding of how animals interact with their environment, especially for cryptic species. For example, giant armadillos (Priodontes maximus) are the largest extant species of armadillo but are rarely ...

Divergence Across Niche Dimensions Reveals Species' Ecological Roles. [PDF]
Ecol LettNatural history gaps hinder our understanding of species' ecological roles and their contributions to ecosystem processes. Using an integrative framework, we analysed multiple niche dimensions of co‐occurring xenarthran insectivores, revealing divergent trophic, spatial and temporal patterns that reflect distinct ecological roles. Our results challenge

Fleas and lesions in armadillo osteoderms. [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 Study of lesions caused by flea's ‘bites’ in the bones on the backs of armadillos show that they are actually made by the host's own osteoclasts, not by the flea's own masticatory apparatus. Panels (a, c, e) are reconstructions from high‐contrast resolution X‐Ray Microtomography and (b, d, f) backscattered electron mode scanning electron microscopy ...

Diversity and Activity Patterns of Medium-Sized and Large Terrestrial Mammals in Agroforests of a Peruvian Amazon Rainforest Region. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe studied species richness and activity patterns of medium‐sized and large terrestrial mammals in agroforests located in the northern buffer zone of Tambopata National Reserve, Peru. The agroforests harboured a high number of mammal species, with species richness increasing alongside greater structural complexity of vegetation.
