Early Miocene sloths are represented by a diversity of forms ranging from 38 to 95 kg, being
registered mainly from Santacrucian Age deposits in southern‐most shores of Patagonia …

This study characterizes the primary locomotor habit of Protypotherium, an interatheriid

Caviomorph rodents (Rodentia: Caviomorpha) are an anatomically variable group with
diverse ecological and morphological types, including cursorial, digging, fossorial and …

Caviomorphs constitute a monophyletic group, representative of the oldest rodent radiation
