Advantages and Limitations in the Use of Extant Xenarthrans (Mammalia) as Morphological Models for Paleobiological Reconstruction
(Springer, 2018-12)
Extant species of Xenarthra represent a severely restricted sample of the total diversity achieved by the group. Given their shared history, the extant representatives of the three major groups of xenarthrans (Cingulata, ...
Isotopic insight on paleodiet of extinct Pleistocene megafaunal Xenarthrans from Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2017-08)
The diet of extinct giant Xenarthrans is a debated topic, especially for ground sloths, for which herbivory, insectivory, and carnivory through scavenging or active hunting have been suggested. In this study, stable carbon ...
Loss of Ancient Diversity of Xenarthrans and the Value of Protecting Extant Armadillos, Sloths and AnteatersPérdida de la diversidad pasada de xenartros y la importancia de proteger a los armadillos perezosos y osos hormigueros actuales
(Anteater, 2014-11)
Armadillos, sloths and anteaters represent a small fragment of a much more diverse fossil assemblage of xenarthrans that includes bizarre forms such as the armored glyptodonts and the giant ground sloths. We reconstruct ...
Importance of xenarthrans in the eco-epidemiology of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(2009-11-17)
Abstract
Background
Several pathogens that cause important zoonotic diseases have been frequently associated with armadillos and other xenarthrans. This mammal group typically ...

Shotgun Mitogenomics Provides a Reference Phylogenetic Framework and Timescale for Living Xenarthrans
(Oxford University Press, 2016-03)
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 ...
