Genome Sizes in Afrotheria, Xenarthra, Euarchontoglires, and Laurasiatheria [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2005 Topical literature and Web site databases provide genome sizes for approximately 4,000 animal species, invertebrates and vertebrates, 330 of which are mammals. We provide the genome size for 67 mammalian species, including 51 never reported before. Knowledge of genome size facilitates sequencing projects.

Osteoderm microstructure of Riostegotherium yanei, the oldest Xenarthra [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019 Abstract: Riostegotherium yanei from the Itaboraí Basin, Brazil, is the oldest known Xenarthra. This paper aims to describe the internal morphology of the osteoderms of Riostegotherium yanei from the perspective of histology and micro-CT approaches, expanding the available data on cingulate osteoderm microstructure. Seven osteoderms of R.

Arthritis in a Glyptodont (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata)
PLoS ONE, 2014 Arthritic lesions have been frequently diagnosed in the fossil record, with spondyloarthropathy (a type of erosive and pan-mammalian arthritis) being one of the most common types described to date for mammals, though not restricted to this group. Here, we identify spondyloarthropathy in fossil bones from the late Pleistocene in Brazil assignable to a ...
