A window into a late Pleistocene megafauna community: Stable isotopes show niche partitioning among herbivorous taxa at the Arroyo del Vizcaíno site (Uruguay)
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 …

Isotope data from amino acids indicate Darwin's ground sloth was not an herbivore
Fossil sloths are regarded as obligate herbivores for reasons including peculiarities of their
craniodental morphology and that all living sloths feed exclusively on plants. We challenge …

Reassessing the phylogeny and divergence times of sloths (Mammalia: Pilosa: Folivora), exploring alternative morphological partitioning and dating models
Phylogenetic relationships among sloths (Folivora) have been extensively studied in the
past few decades using maximum parsimony approaches. Recently, Bayesian phylogenetic …
