Coming to grips with life upside down: how myosin fiber type and metabolic properties of sloth hindlimb muscles contribute to suspensory function

Kyle B. Spainhower et al.

Summary: The research found differences in slow myosin heavy chain fiber type distribution and energy metabolism in the hindlimbs of three-toed and two-toed sloths, indicating potential adaptations for force production and energy savings in sloth hindlimb muscles. Furthermore, differences in enzyme activity levels between anaerobic and aerobic enzymes suggest potential functional adaptations in sloth limbs beyond muscle fiber type expression.

A timely systematic review on pangolin research, commercialization, and popularization to identify knowledge gaps and produce conservation guidelines

Sean P. Heighton et al.

Summary: Conservationists can benefit from a holistic approach by considering research, social, and economic aspects of conservation issues. The study focused on pangolin conservation, highlighting knowledge gaps in areas such as immunology, education, and the impact of trade or poaching, especially for African species. It also noted a shift in publication trends towards non-range-state author contributions and highlighted the importance of increasing research efforts, particularly in Africa, to help conserve pangolins.
