Shotgun Mitogenomics Provides a Reference Phylogenetic Framework and Timescale for Living Xenarthrans [PDF]
, 2015 Xenarthra (armadillos, sloths, and anteaters) constitutes one of the four major clades of placental mammals. Despite their phylogenetic distinctiveness in mammals, a reference phylogeny is still lacking for the 31 described species. Here we used Illumina

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.

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.
