Abstract:
Sloths are animals that suffer with the destruction and fragmentation of forests. They experience a low population growth rate and need to be studied further for the preservation of the species. The objective of this study was to contribute data relevant to the reproductive physiology of this species, selecting a semen collection method and evaluating seminal characteristics that have never before been described in the literature. Fifteen Bradypus tridactylus males were captured in Manaus, Brazil. Nine of them were captured during the first half of 2004 (Group 1) and the others during the second half (Group 2). The animals were anesthetized with an i.m. injection of a combination of ketamine (10 mg/kg) and xylasine (1 mg/kg). Semen was collected by electroejaculaton using a rectal probe designed for domestic cats. Electrostimulations were given with a 0-100 mA/0-12 V variable electrostimulator in sequences of three progressive intensities, with ten repetitions at each intensity and variation of 10 mA between them. They started with 20 mA and peaked at 60 mA. Each stimulus lasted about 3 s. It was not possible to define the best intensity of stimulus to use and ejaculation could take place at any time of the stimulation (Fisher's exact test). Sperm motility and vigor were immediately analyzed. Sperm count was determined in a Neubauer chamber at a 1:50 (v:v) dilution in formol-saline. Morphology was examined at the same dilution. Fresh semen smears were made and stained using Spermac Stain� (Minit�b, Tiefenbach, Germany) protocol for a better evaluation of the spermatozoa acrosome and midpiece. In both methods 200 cells were counted for morphological evaluation. All animals ejaculated approximately 30 �L to 90 �L of semen. In some ejaculates the semen was too thin and flowed down the penis, so that the volume effectively collected was not sufficient for a complete spermiogram. Spermatozoa presented a wide variety of defects, and some physical characteristics differed (not significantly) between samples collected during the first and second halves of the year. Motility and vigor were very low, the sperm did not show forward progression, only oscillatory movement. However, a high percentage (80%) of spermatozoa were moving. The concentration in Group 1 ranged from 5000 spermatozoa/mm3 to 685 500 spermatozoa/mm3 (mean � 218 571.4 � 242 499.4). Sperm concentation was not assessed in Group 2. The morphology of the head could be elongated or squared, or the head could have a base narrower than the apex. The tail showed a unique feature: the midpiece narrowed abruptly, forming a nip in its transition to the tail. This was similar in appearance to the segmental aplasia of the mitochondrial sheath, but it was considered normal because it was observed in all spermatozoa. Although further studies are necessary to standardize the semen evaluation of sloths and to define the best protocol for electroejaculation, this pioneering study has shown the characteristics of sloth spermatozoa and the possibility of collecting semen throughout the electroejaculation process in this species. This work was supported by Fapesp 03/07457-4.

They present diagnostic characters such as color of the face coat and throat which are golden yellow and brown, absence and presence of black spot around the eyes, respectively, that distinguish them from each other. In forest fragments of Manaus-AM, it is possible to observe sloths that have intermediate characteristics between the two species. The objective of this study was to identify the sloths found in Manaus, checking for the occurrence of hybridization between them. A total of 32 samples were used, seven control region of B. variegatus, one of the region control B. tridactylus and the other 24 forest fragments belonging to the city of Manaus, where we identify individuals of B. variegatus, B. tridactylus and Bradypus sp., based on morphological characteristics. For the present study we used the control of mitochondrial DNA region (Dloop) and 10 microsatellite loci of the nuclear DNA. Results of molecular analyzes of Dloop show the existence of two well-supported monophyletic clades, separating the two species of sloths: B. tridactylus and B. variegatus, in the north and south of the Rio Negro and Amazon, respectively. Through analysis of the STRUCTURE program, it was found that the number of genetically distinct groups biological was K=2, it is possible to distinguish pure individuals of each species, and it was possible to observe the existence of individuals association with different proportions one of the clusters. These individuals were identified as hybrids, and it is possible to can check the occurrence of F1 generation, F2 and backcross, indicating the fertility of them. The consequences of the existence of fertile hybrids to the evolutionary process of the species involved can range from insignificant to drastic, so that it is necessary studies that generate empirical information, aimed at assisting in the development of management strategies, conservation and protection of these species.<br>Pertencentes a Infraordem Pilosa, família Bradipodiade, as preguiças Bradypus tridactylus e Bradypus variegatus podem ser encontradas no bioma Amazônia. Apresentam caracteres diagnósticos como cor da pelagem da face e da garganta em amarelo dourado e marrom, e ausência e presença de mancha negra ao redor dos olhos, respectivamente, que as distinguem entre si. Nos fragmentos florestais da região do município de Manaus-AM, é possível observar preguiças que possuem características intermediarias entre as duas espécies. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as preguiças encontradas em Manaus, verificando se há ocorrência de hibridização entre elas. Foram utilizadas um total de 32 amostras, sendo sete da região controle de B. variegatus, uma da região controle de B. tridactylus e as outras 24 pertencentes aos fragmentos florestais da cidade de Manaus, em que são identificados indivíduos de B. variegatus, B. tridactylus e Bradypus sp., baseando-se nas características morfológicas. Para o presente estudo foram utilizadas a região controle do DNA mitocondrial (Dloop) e 10 loci microssatélites do DNA nuclear. Resultados das análises moleculares de Dloop mostram a existência bem suportada de dois clados monofiléticos, separando as duas espécies de preguiça: B. tridactylus e B. variegatus, ao norte e ao sul do Rio Negro e Amazonas, respectivamente. Através da análise do programa STRUCTURE, verificou-se que o numero de grupos biológicos geneticamente distintos foi de K=2, sendo possível distinguir indivíduos puros de cada uma das espécies, bem como foi possível observar a existência de indivíduos com diferentes proporções de associação a um dos clusters. Esses indivíduos foram identificados como híbridos, em que é possível verificar a ocorrência de geração F1, F2 e retrocruzamentos, indicando a fertilidade dos mesmos. A consequência da existência de híbridos férteis para o processo evolutivo das espécies envolvidas podem variar de insignificantes a drásticas, sendo necessários estudos que gerem informações empíricas, visando auxiliar na elaboração de estratégias de manejo, conservação e proteção dessas espécies.

Equally important, they are research that aims to clarify aspects of the activity pattern, since it allows to understand the interactions between organisms and their respective habitats that is the basis of any conservation activity. The research was carried out in the forest fragment of the Federal University of Amazonas, Central Amazonia, with an area of 776 ha. Our objectives were to estimate the area of use of the Bradypus tridactylus sloths with the help of two data collection techniques and to verify possible behavioral pattern throughout the 24 hour cycle. For comparative measurements, radio telemetry monitoring techniques using VHF transmitters and VHF + GPS logger transmitters were used, the area of use was estimated using two methods, the minimum polygon convex (MPC) as well as Kernel. Areas of Bradypus tridactylus ranged from 1.3ha to 28ha for Kernel and from 1.3ha to 26ha for Minimo convex polygon (MPC) for GPS monitoring. VHF telemetry ranged from 0.59ha to 50.49ha for Kernel and from 0.27 to 10.53ha for MPC. Sloths with smaller body sizes showed larger areas of use and this can be explained by being young animals in search of territories. Sloths used the space in order to return to previously used sites, showing a possible optimal foraging strategy, which may be related to the distribution of plant species used in the diet. For the activity pattern, the most frequent behavior was rest with 81% corroborating with other researches already performed with sloths. Rest mostly occurred at night and dawn while the other behaviors occurred in the morning and afternoon. The behavioral difference between individuals can be explained by individual oscillation or environmental variation. In general, sloths presented a pattern of catemeral activities,since they moved in both day and night, however, behaviors such as wakefulness and self-seeding seem to be influenced by photoperiodic changes.<br>Estudar a área de vida dos animais é importante visto que auxilia na obtenção informações a respeito da ecologia, história de vida, organização social, forrageio, preferências alimentares e reprodução, elementos básicos e essenciais dentro do hábitat. Igualmente importante, são pesquisas que objetivam esclarecer aspectos do padrão de atividades, uma vez que permite compreender as interações entre organismos e os seus respectivos habitats que é a base de qualquer atividade de conservação. A pesquisa foi realizada no fragmento florestal da Universidade Federal do Amazonas, Amazônia Central, com área de 776 ha. Nossos objetivos foram estimar a área de uso das preguiças Bradypus tridactylus com auxílio de duas técnicas de coleta de dados e aferir possível padrão comportamental ao longo do ciclo de 24 horas. Dez indivíduos foram monitorados para se estimar a área de uso e oito para as estimativas comportamentais. Foram utilizadas técnicas de monitoramento através de rádio telemetria, usando transmissores VHF e transmissores VHF+GPS logger, a área de uso foi estimada através de dois métodos, o mínimo polígono convexo (MPC) bem como Kernel. As áreas de uso de Bradypus tridactylus variaram de 1,3ha a 28ha para Kernel e de 1,3ha a 26ha para mínimo polígono convexo (MPC), para monitoramento via GPS. Já para telemetria VHF variou de 0,59ha a 50,49ha para Kernel e de 0,27 a 10,53ha para MPC. As preguiças com menores tamanhos corporais apresentaram áreas de uso maiores e isso pode ser explicado por serem animais jovens em busca de territórios. As preguiças utilizaram o espaço de modo a retornar a locais previamente utilizados, mostrando possível memória espacial, podendo ter relação com a distribuição de espécies vegetais usadas na dieta. Para o padrão de atividades, o comportamento mais frequente foi repouso com 81%, corroborando com outras pesquisas já realizada com preguiças. Repouso ocorreu majoritariamente a noite e madrugada, enquanto os outros comportamentos ocorreram pela manhã e tarde. A diferença comportamental entre os indivíduos pode ser explicada pela oscilação individual ou variação ambiental. De modo geral, as preguiças apresentaram padrão de atividades catemeral, visto que se deslocaram tanto de dia quanto a noite, no entanto, comportamentos como vigília e auto-catação parecem ter influência das mudanças fotoperiódicas.
