Brazilian distribution of Amblyomma varium Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), a common parasite of sloths (Mammalia: Xenarthra).
Amblyomma varium, commonly known in Brazil as the "carrapato-gigante-da-pregui a" (sloth's giant tick) is found from southern Central America to Argentina. The present study adds information on the geographical distribution of A. varium, as well as on their hosts, based on material deposited in the main Brazilian collections and on the available literature. Eighty-two vials, containing 191 adul...

Bradypus variegatus Schinz, 1825 (the brown-throated three-toed sloth), is 1 of 4 extant three-toed sloths. A highcanopy folivore, B. variegatus is distributed over southern Central America and northern and central South America and is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources because of its wide distribution. Males have a middorsal spec...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of novel microsatellite loci for Lusitanian toadfish, Halobatrachus didactylus
The Lusitanian toadfish Halobatrachus didactylus is an eastern Atlantic polygynous species showing male paternal care. In this paper we describe 5 novel microsatellite loci obtained by 454 GS-FLX Titanium pyrosequencing of a microsatellite-enriched library. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus varied between 2 and 4, and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.082 to 0.600. No signific...
متن کاملCall recognition and individual identification of fish vocalizations based on automatic speech recognition: An example with the Lusitanian toadfish.
The study of acoustic communication in animals often requires not only the recognition of species specific acoustic signals but also the identification of individual subjects, all in a complex acoustic background. Moreover, when very long recordings are to be analyzed, automatic recognition and identification processes are invaluable tools to extract the relevant biological information. A patte...
متن کاملLeishmania herreri (Kinetoplastida; Trypanosomatidae) is more closely related to Endotrypanum (Kinetoplastida; Trypanosomatidae) than to Leishmania.
Since L. herreri was first described in 1979 [l], no further isolates have been identified and some doubts have been expressed as to the classification of this parasite. The 16 original strains of L. herrrri were isolated from sloths (Bradypus griseus and Choloepus hoffmanni) and sandflies (Lutzomyiu trupidoi, Lu. ylephiletor and Lu. shannoni) in Costa Rica. These parasites were classified with...
