The analysis of stable isotopes on fossil mammals has become a widely used tool for
understanding the paleoecology and paleodiet of these organisms. In this work, we study …

Late Pleistocene sloths were widely distributed and present in a diversity of habitats in
South, Central, and North America and some Caribbean Islands. Late Pleistocene sloths …

Here we estimate the body mass of 10 iconic species of extinct xenarthrans (cingulates and
sloths) from the Quaternary of Brazil using two sets of predictive equations based on …

The sloths that dispersed into Central and North America were most likely derived from
tropical taxa, as indicated by their high occlusal surface area (OSA) in comparison with body …

We inferred the annual isotopic diet (δ13C) of an individual of the giant ground sloth
Eremotherium laurillardi found in Toca dos Ossos (Ourolândia, Bahia, Brazil) through the …

Three indices estimated from measurements of the humerus and ulna were used to suggest
possible ecological habits of eight extinct giant sloths from the Late Pleistocene of the …

Abstract The Santa Elina rock shelter (Central Brazil) stands out with two human occupation
layers with ground sloth fossil remains from the Late Pleistocene. Here, we explore the …

A rich assemblage of fossil sloths is recognized in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon,
Upper Solimões Formation (Acre Basin), and represents some of the most diverse Folivora …

Fossils from natural tanks can contribute to the paleoenvironmental interpretation of the
Brazilian Intertropical Region (BIR), an important study area for the Quaternary in South …

Located in the Northeast of Brazil, the city of Paripiranga, State of Bahia, is situated in a karst
region called Supergrupo Canudos. The locality boasts a high number of natural cavities …
