We finally published this paper! It took some time, but it’s out now! In short, we found that the limited fungal diversity and “low-functionality” of the sloth gut microbiota might help explain their "slothness." 🦥 This was an amazing team effort! link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Differential Microbial Composition and Fiber Degradation in Two Sloth Species (Bradypus variegatus and Choloepus hoffmanni) - Current Microbiology
