This study reports the occurrence of ticks on free-ranging armadillos in the Serra das Almas Natural Reserve located in the interior of the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil. Collected ticks were morphologically identified by using standard taxonomic keys and stereomicroscope. We provide the first records of Amblyomma sculptum on Tolypeutes tricinctus, in addition to A. auricularium adults on Dasypus septemcinc tus in the Brazilian exclusive biome, the Caatinga.
本研究报告了在巴西东北部Piauí州内部的Serra das Almas自然保护区自由放归的犰狳上发生的蜱虫。采用标准分类键和体视显微镜对采集的蜱虫进行形态鉴定。我们提供了在巴西特有的Caatinga生物群系中，除了在Dasypus 9cinc - tus上的A. auricularium成虫外，还有在tricinctus上的Amblyomma sculptum的第一个记录。

The Xenarthra are one of the least studied mammalian groups in Honduras. Their ecology, natural history, and distribution in the country are poorly known. Here we compile and discuss, for the first time, the available information about the seven species of Xenarthra that occur in Honduras. We also present new distribution records and comment on their main threats. The lack of specific scientific studies, poaching, illegal traffic, cultural beliefs, and deforestation are among the main threats to xenarthrans in

Inspired by the low-energy lifestyle of the three-toed sloth (Bradypus sp.), the SlothBot is an energy-efficient, solar-powered robot designed to have a persistent presence in tree canopies. Organized around the novel robotics paradigm that surviving takes precedence over goal-driven actions, the SlothBot only moves when it absolutely has to. Since May 2020, it has been taking climate measurements in the treetops of the Atlanta Botanical Garden. We envision that, in the future, teams of SlothBots can be deployed in a rainforest canopy to collect data for field ecologists.

Damage caused by wildlife is one of the main causes of human-wildlife conflict (HWC) world-wide and poses a significant threat to both biodiversity conservation and human livelihoods. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin such damage is critical to tackle HWC and foster coexistence. In this paper we provide information on the pattern and magnitude of damage by giant armadillos ( Priodontes maximus ) to apiaries in the Cerrado biome of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. With the collaboration of 10 beekeeping associations we gathered information from 178 beekeepers. Seventy-three percent of these individuals reported beehive damage by giant armadillos in the last five years and 46% in the last 12 months, resulting in substantial economic losses. We used a combination of beekeepers' reports and camera traps to characterize the pattern of damage, and to evaluate the effectiveness, as well as pros and cons, of several non-lethal mitigation measures to deter giant armadillos from damaging beehives. In hopes of developing a win-win solution, we propose the implementation of a Honey Certification Scheme so that beekeepers and giant armadillos may not only coexist but thrive together.

The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is considered a solitary species except for the reproductive and parental care periods. Agonistic encounters among giant anteaters have been previously reported, describing conflicts and fights between individuals. However, non-agonistic encounters have not been reported in the scientific literature. Three instances of such encounters were recorded: two in which two females, carrying their cubs, were foraging together for periods of a few hours, and another where a female with her cub beside her was foraging alongside an adult of unknown sex. Details of these encounters are described in this note, contributing to knowledge of the natural history of the species.

Johannes de Sarto
I should like to respond to Peter Wright's very interesting article 'Johannes Brassart and Johannes de Sarto' published in the April 1992 issue of this journal. In the course of recent research at the Vatican Archives, I have come across some biographical data that may help both to supplement information that Dr Wright presents about the composers and to lend documentary corroboration to the convincing stylistic grounds for their relationship. With respect to Johannes Brassart, we now have secure documentary confirmation of Jus death date (previously unknown) as having occurred fairly close to 22 October 1455. This document presents a supplication to Pope Calixtus III for a benefice whose incumbent, Johannes Brassart, had recently died. The benefice is a canonry at the collegiate church of St Paul in the diocese of Liege, the annual income of which is rated at a substantial eight silver Marks. In the document, Brassart is described as both a former cantor-capellanus and rector principalis of Emperor Frederick III. The nature of this kind of document virtually assures us that the latter title was his official title at the time of retirement from the enlperor's chapel. The benefice was requested by Arnoldus Pictrar, a cleric from the diocese of Liege. I suspect that this cleric is identical with the musician Arnold Pickart, who in 1469 was listed first in a rotulus of members of the imperial chapel, and who is described there as a priest of the diocese of Liege. That it was a member of the imperial chapel who requested the deceased musician's benefice strongly suggests that Brassart had retained some connection with his former colleagues, particularly those from his native Liege. The new documentary information I propose to offer for Johannes De Sarto may perhaps clear up the confusion over attributions to this composer (footnote 8, p. 43) and may also help to confirm a relationship between Brassart and De Sarto. The first document, dated 18 June 1457, is a papal supplication from Johannes Doussart, a cleric of the diocese of Liege. He is requesting a chaplaincy at a

Being strictly arboreal, sloths become more vulnerable to predation when on the ground. Records of such predation, however, are rare. Here we present video documentation of a tayra (Eira barbara) preying on a juvenile brown-throated three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) in Barbilla National Park, Costa Rica. Tayras and other ground predators, plus human activities such as habitat fragmentation, are probably major factors influencing sloth life history and permanence in the ecosystem. Predation by tayras might be more common than we think, particularly in disturbed forests.
