Seroprevalence of Arboviruses and Genetic Characterization of Orbiviruses in Sloths from Western Panama [PDF]
VirusesArthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an increasingly significant threat to public health in tropical regions. In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of various arboviruses in two species of sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni and Bradypus ...

The behaviour and activity budgets of two sympatric sloths; Bradypus variegatus and Choloepus hoffmanni [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 It is usually beneficial for species to restrict activity to a particular phase of the 24-hour cycle as this enables the development of morphological and behavioural adaptations to enhance survival under specific biotic and abiotic conditions.

N-mixture model-based estimate of relative abundance of sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) in response to biotic and abiotic factors in a human-dominated landscape of central India [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Reliable estimation of abundance is a prerequisite for a species’ conservation planning in human-dominated landscapes, especially if the species is elusive and involved in conflicts. As a means of population estimation, the importance of camera traps has

Automated Multienzyme Digestion Workflows for Confident Characterization of Challenging Posttranslational Modifications in Therapeutic Antibodies by LC-MS/MS. [PDF]
Rapid Commun Mass SpectromABSTRACT Rationale Non‐reduced trypsin digestion of therapeutic antibodies can generate large disulfide‐linked peptide complexes that exhibit poor chromatographic and mass spectrometric performance. This limits the confident characterization of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in specific antibody regions, such as the heavy‐chain constant region ...

Loners Have It: Insights on Breeding and Non-Breeding Individuals of Sloth Bears in Central India. [PDF]
Ecol EvolDynamics of breeding biology, such as intraspecific sexual segregation, indicate avoidance of infanticide and/or reduced resource competition, which are reported for some bear species but are lacking for Sloth bears (Melursus ursinus). We found that mother bears with cubs segregate themselves from lone adults spatio‐temporally by avoiding resource‐rich

Hoffmann's two-toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra). [PDF]
J AnatTwo‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.
