Were these inserted in the branch leading to the Xenarthran LCA? NO! Only ~14% are Xenarthra-wide. But in sloths — Choloepus and Bradypus — ~50% of retrocopies are sloth-specific, inserted ~30 Mya. This let us search for signs of domestication. +

Preprint Alert! 🦥
We produced complete genomes for 2 Xenarthra and placed them in a mammalian comparative framework. We found that Xenarthra harbour the largest number of retrocopies in mammals! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Retrocopy formation and domestication shape genome evolution in sloths and other xenarthrans
Xenarthrans, comprising sloths, anteaters, and armadillos, represent one of the most morphologically and physiologically specialised mammalian clades, yet the genomic basis of their adaptations remain...

It's time for a map of life update. I've rounded off my illustrated placental mammals today, with that addition of 3 species within the Xenarthra: an armadillo, a sloth and an anteater.

Happy #WorldArmadilloDay… Did you know that armadillos form part of the order Xenarthra, along with anteaters and sloths and are distinguished by the number of bands on their armour? 💚🌎

Whaddya call lusting for fresh dead armadillos Kenny you twisted rascal.

Is that acne or some zoonotic sleeper virus from the Xenarthra family?

I’ve got NINE South American species characters (or ten if you include nine-banded armadillos)
((two birds, six xenarthrans, one reptile, and one coati))
I have an extraordinary love for Xenarthra BUT I what I NEED is more amphibians…

not really related to any of my books, yet. but xenarthra is my favourite clade. that is all. youtu.be/XT3L1w2jvWw?...

You know an odd thought I had recently? The main characters of the first Ice Age film represent the four placental mammal lineages! Mammoths represent Afrotheria, Sloths represent Xenarthra, Saber Tooth Cat represents Laurasiatheria and the human baby represents Euarchontoglires.

In all the excitement of taking part in @The__Herds in London last weekend, I forgot to update that I finished my @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social pangolin zine 💚🐾🌎

I’d recommend Xenarthra next :)

lol, another thing that I've apparently already ranted about on here. I swear to god I only have like 2 hyper-interests. Pretty sure I'm the weird one.

I really like xenarthrans, yet I've published comparatively little on them at Tet Zoo. Aiming to change that this year, and we start with #ARMADILLOS, specifically long-nosed ones, specifically hairy long-nosed ones .... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/4/... #mammals #TetZoo #Xenarthra

One of my favourite mammal assemblages of all is Xenarthra, the ‘strange joint’ group that includes the remarkable and odd anteaters, sloths and armadillos…
