Genome Sizes in Afrotheria, Xenarthra, Euarchontoglires, and Laurasiatheria [PDF]
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.

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 ...

Report of leucism in Tamandua mexicana (Pilosa: Myrmecophagidae) from southeastern Mexico
Coloration anomalies caused by melanin deficiency are rare in wild mammals and often increase predation risk. We document a case of leucism in an adult female Tamandua mexicana from the Reserva Cuxtal, Yucatán, Mexico.
