From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Gestural Sequences in Wild Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)
Geoffroy's spider monkeys produce gestural sequences in the wild, mostly during aggressive, playful and sexual interactions. ABSTRACT To date, research on gestural communication in species other than great apes has been quite limited, especially in their natural habitat, although including a broader range of species in different settings is essential ...

Composition of myelin from peripheral and central nervous systems of the squirrel monkey
Myelin was prepared from the brachial plexus and cervical spinal cord of adult squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus). Brachial plexus myelin contained a larger amount of sphingomyelin and smaller amounts of cholesterol, lipid galactose, ethanolamine ...

Partner Choice and Context‐Dependent Sex Differences in Rat Rough‐and‐Tumble Play
When given partner choice in triadic play, male rats showed a robust preference for female partners, whereas females formed partner preferences that were not sex specific. Females initiated less play in mixed‐sex groups but played at male‐typical levels in all‐female groups, demonstrating that sex differences in rough‐and‐tumble play arise both from ...

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.
