PLoS ONE
In mammals rates of recombination are well predicted by the phylogenetic relationship between species, with lower recombination rates in more basal clades.

Assessment of Feeding Behavior of the Zoo-Housed Lesser Anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla) and Nutritional Values of Natural Prey

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2022
Very little information is available to zoo managers on the nutritional preferences of the lesser anteater, a highly specialized predator. By studying lesser anteater feeding behavior, we expect to contribute to improved management decisions and ...
