Abstract: Most xenarthrans have a reduced and simplified dentition that lacks enamel. However, the presence of prismatic enamel has been recorded in the Eocene armadillos Utaetus buccatus (Euphractinae) and Astegotherium dichotomus (Astegotheriini). Among extant xenarthrans, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zly091
Abstract: The armadillo genus Dasypus is the most species-rich and widely distributed genus of the order Cingulata and it has a dynamic taxonomic history. Recent morphology-based studies have proposed new taxonomic arrangements, but these were not… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d15040530
Abstract: In contrast to birds, the relationship between migration and immunity has been scarcely studied in bats. We examined how the expression of the humoral portion of the constitutive immunity varied in a bat with partial,… read more here.
