The foraging pits of the nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus (Mammalia: Xenarthra: Dasypodidae), and implications for interpreting conical trace fossils
The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is a well known burrower, but individuals spend the majority of their time above ground foraging for soil organisms by repeatedly digging pits through the soil surface. Little ichnological attention has been given to these foraging pits even though their great prevalence within the geographic range of extant armadillos implies that they might hav...
متن کاملRecords of Nine-Banded Armadillos, Dasypus novemcinctus, in Illinois
The nine-banded armadillo, Dasypus novemcinctus, has been expanding its range in the United State since the mid-1800s. There had been sporadic reports of this species in Illinois prior to 1990. I conducted a mail survey in 2003 of individuals knowledgeable about the fauna of southern Illinois to investigate the possible expansion of the armadillo into the state. I also sent questionnaires to an...
متن کاملA novel abundant family of retroposed elements (DAS-SINEs) in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
About half of the mammalian genome is composed of retroposons. Long interspersed elements (LINEs) and short interspersed elements (SINEs) are the most abundant repetitive elements and account for about 21% and 13% of the human genome, respectively. SINEs have been detected in all major mammalian lineages, except for the South American order Xenarthra, also termed Edentata (armadillos, anteaters...
متن کاملQuantitative investigation of the annual pattern of follicular development in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
Mature, non-pregnant, female armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) were killed throughout the year (3-6/month, N = 54) and both ovaries were examined for follicular development. All normal and atretic follicles > 358 micrometers were counte. Total number of normal follicles remained constant from January to June but decreased by 50% in the remaining months except in October and November. Follicles ...
متن کاملExpansion of the tunica albuginea during penile inflation in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
Artificial inflation of corpora cavernosa from the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) showed that the expansion of the tunica albuginea during erection increases both components of flexural stiffness: the second moment of area and Young's modulus of elasticity. Folded tissue and crimped collagen fibers in the tunica albuginea permit its expansion during erection. As the tunica albugin...
