Anatomy and Histology of the Male Reproductive Tract and Spermatogenesis Fine Structure in the Lesser Anteater ( Tamandua tetradactyla , Myrmecophagidae, Xenarthra): Morphological Evidences of Reproductive Functions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-08)
The anatomy and histology of the male genital tract of the lesser anteater were studied. Fine details of spermatozoa regarding their genesis and morphology were also studied in six adult specimens. The testes lie in the ...
New distribution records of the silky anteater cyclopes didactylus (Pilosa, Cyclopedidae) in coastal northeastern BrazilNuevos registros de distribución del serafín del platanar Cyclopes didactylus (Pilosa, Cyclopedidae) en el nordeste costero de Brasil
(Sociedad Argentina para el Estudio de los Mamíferos, 2010-12)
The silky anteater Cyclopes didactylus is one of the least studied xenarthrans. Its range extends from tropical Mexico south into Central and South America. The aim of this study was to determine the range of a historically ...
Closing the gaps to understand the tick transmission of Anaplasma marginale among giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) in Argentina
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-12)
Anaplasma marginale, a well-known cattle pathogen of tropical and subtropical world regions, has been previously molecularly characterized in a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) from Corrientes, Argentina. Ticks or ...
Morphological Features of the Acupuncture Points of Bladder Meridian in the Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)

Ulna of Extant Xenarthrans: Shape, Size, and Function
(Springer, 2020-04)
Xenarthra, one of the major clades of placentals, comprises two different lineages (sloths and anteaters, and armadillos) with extant representatives showing strongly different morphologies and life habits. Sloths are ...
Food Habits of Wild Silky Anteaters ( Cyclopes didactylus ) of São Luis do Maranhão, Brazil
(Anteater, Sloth and Armadillo Specialist Group, 2009-12)
None of the four extant anteater species is currently considered to be threatened with extinction (IUCN, 2007; Aguiar and Fonseca, 2008). However, the destruction and fragmentation of their habitat is advancing swiftly ...
Visitors' perceptions of zoo-housed lesser anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla) welfare: Observation plays a larger role than a brief informative talk
(Veterinary and Human Toxicology, 2020-10-10)
There is a growing ethical concern in modern society about animals' quality of life. We hypothesize that zoo visitors' perception of zoo animal welfare, particularly in the case of lesser anteaters, changes positively after ...
Myrmecophaga tridactyla (Pilosa: Myrmecophagidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2018-04)
The monospecific giant anteater, Myrmecophaga tridactyla Linnaeus, 1758, is the largest of the 4 species of New World vermilinguans. A feeding specialist on ants and termites, it occupies a broad range of lowland habitats, ...
Using occupancy models to assess the direct and indirect impacts of agricultural expansion on species’ populations
(Springer, 2020-08)
Land-use change is a global threat to biodiversity, but how land-use change affects species beyond the direct effect of habitat loss remains poorly understood. We developed an approach to isolate and map the direct and ...
