Parallel evolution of reduced cancer risk and tumor suppressor duplications in Xenarthra

eLife, 2022
The risk of developing cancer is correlated with body size and lifespan within species, but there is no correlation between cancer and either body size or lifespan between species indicating that large, long-lived species have evolved enhanced cancer ...

How sloths got their sloth [PDF]

Current Biology, 2019
Summary The evolution of sloths will have to be revised after two independent molecular studies contradicted the traditional view based on morphological evidence. The two surviving genera with their distinctive arboreal lifestyles and specialised diets are also important case studies in ecology and adaptation, while their lost relatives shed light on

Genetic divergence and evidence of human‐mediated translocation of two‐fingered sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni) in Costa Rica

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
Sloths are notoriously slow and consequently have limited dispersal ability, which makes them particularly vulnerable to the effects of habitat fragmentation and degradation. Sloths in Costa Rica are considered of conservation concern due to habitat loss,

Identifying suitable habitats for sloth bear conservation in Eastern India [PDF]

, 2023
Today, the most significant threats to mammal predators are habitat losses and anthropogenic pressure. Although sloth bears are widely distributed in India, there is still a risk of populations becoming fragmented and isolated.

Post mortem comparison of cardiac anatomy between an electrocuted sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) and five other individuals [PDF]

Knowledge about cardiovascular physiology in Xenarthra species is limited, despite thorough investigation in other mammals. In particular, there is no published literature on the detailed cardiology of either sloth genera found on Costa Rica (Bradypus or
