Muscle architecture and functional anatomy of the extrinsic thoracic limb muscles in a semiarboreal xenarthran (Tamandua mexicana)NARA Subscribed
Tamandua mexicana is a mammal belonging to Xenarthrans, with high interest in medicine, conservation, and evolutionary studies. It has semiarboreal locomotion with specific adaptations to allow its movement on different substrates. To carry out this type of locomotion, the extrinsic muscles that allow scapular stabilization as well as retraction and protraction movements are essential. Despite their importance, no studies have...
Late Pleistocene–Holocene environmental and climatic history of a freshwater paramo ecosystem in the northern AndesNARA Subscribed
This study presents the first multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic history for northern South America based on the palaeolimnological reconstruction of a pond located in a dry paramo at 3570 masl. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the study area was under glacial conditions, then during global events Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1), Bølling–Allerød (BA), and the Younger Dryas (YD), the pond expanded, accumulation r...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
