Vertebral bending mechanics and xenarthrous morphology in the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
The vertebral column has evolved to accommodate the broad range of locomotor pressures found across vertebrate lineages. Xenarthran (armadillos, sloths and anteaters) vertebral columns are characterized by xenarthrous articulations, novel intervertebral articulations located in the posterior trunk that are hypothesized to stiffen the vertebral column to facilitate digging. To determine the degr...
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 کاملNaturally acquired rabies in an armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in Texas.
The first case of rabies in an armadillo is reported. The rabies fluorescent-antibody test and mouse inoculation procedure were used to substantiate the presence of the virus. The Centers for Disease Control authenticated our findings and was able to determine the source of infection by monoclonal antibody typing.
متن کاملCommensal Foraging by a Fan-tailed Warbler (euthlypis Lachrymosa) with a Nine-banded Armadillo (dasypus Novemcinctus) in Southwestern Mexico
Many interspecific commensal foraging interactions involving birds have been documented. We describe an observation of commensal foraging by a fan-tailed warbler (Euthlypis lachrymosa) with a nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in Guerrero, southwestern Mexico. Our observation is similar to those reported from El Salvador by (Komar and Hanks, 2002) and indicates 560 The Southwestern Na...
متن کاملPituitary LH content during delayed and post-implantation periods in the armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus).
The pituitary glands from female armadillos in various reproductive states were individually assayed for lh content by the oaad method of Parlow (1961). The glands from animals in the delayed implantation period contained significantly more lh than glands from the non-ovulated animals. Bilateral ovariectomy during the delayed implantation period resulted in an almost total depletion of pituitar...
