Temporal and spatial resource use by female three-toed sloths and their young in an agricultural landscape in Costa Rica
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2011-12)
The information on ecological behavior of wild sloths is very scarce. In this study we determined the
home ranges and resources used by three adult female three-toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus) and their four
young in ...
Postcranial anatomy of the extinct terrestrial sloth Simomylodon uccasamamensis (Xenarthra, Mylodontidae) from the Pliocene of the Bolivian Altiplano, and its evolutionary implications
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021-08)
Extinct terrestrial sloths are common elements of the late Cenozoic South American fossil record. Among them, Mylodontinae species were particularly abundant in the Americas throughout the Pleistocene epoch, and their ...

Thirteen million years ago in South America, the Pebas Mega-Wetland System sheltered multi-taxon crocodylian assemblages, with the giant caiman Purussaurus as the top predator. In these Miocene swamps where reptiles and ...
A reappraisal of the phylogeny of Mylodontidae (Mammalia, Xenarthra) and the divergence of mylodontine and lestodontine sloths
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-11)
The phylogeny of mylodontid sloths has recently been the subject of multiple studies. Contrasting hypotheses have been proposed, especially for the relationships among late Miocene–Pleistocene mylodontines and lestodontines. ...
Living on the edge: Forest cover threshold effect on endangered maned sloth occurrence in Atlantic Forest
(2019-12-01)
Habitat loss and the isolation of remaining habitats are undoubtedly the two greatest threats to biodiversity conservation, especially for the maned sloth, due to its ecological restrictions. In this study, we identified ...
New osteoderm morphotype (Xenarthra, Mylodontidae) from the middle Pleistocene of Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-11)
Associated osteoderms of unique aspect have been found in Ensenadan age deposits near San Pedro, in the Pampean Region of Argentina. Their general shape closely resembles that of mylodontid sloths. They are unique in ...
