Zaedyus pichiy (Cingulata: Dasypodidae)
Zaedyus pichiy (Desmarest, 1804) is a small armadillo commonly known as pichi. Like all armadillos, it bears a carapace of ossified dermal scutes covered by epidermal scales, but it is the only species that bears marginal scutes with sharply pointed apices. This diurnal, semifossorial species inhabits xeric shrublands and grasslands on sandy soils from central Argentina and Chile south to the S...
متن کاملSynaptonemal complexes and XY behavior in two species of Argentinian armadillos: Chaetophractus villosus and Dasypus hybridus (Xenarthra, Dasypodidae).
Spermatocytes from the two armadillo species, C. villosus and D. hybridus were studied in microspreads for synaptonemal complexes (SCs) and in thin sections for electron microscopy (EM). The complete SC karyotype generally agrees with previous reports on mitotic chromosomes, except for the sex chromosomes. The X chromosome is submetacentric in both species and the Y is the shortest one in C. vi...

متن کاملTicks (Acari: Ixodidae) from yellow armadillo, Euphractus sexcinctus (Cingulata: Dasypodidae), in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands.
Tick species parasitizing yellow armadillo, Euphractus sexcinctus, were recorded from October 2006 to October 2007 in Pantanal. A total of 89 ticks were collected from 23 yellow armadillos. Most ticks (n=50) were identified as Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius) (32 males and 18 females). The only other species found was Amblyomma parvum (Aragão) (three females and two males). The remaining ticks ...
متن کاملThe 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...
