Hang in There: How Sloths Master the Art of Survival in Changing Climate — A pioneering study conduct |
sloths exhibit cathemeral activity patterns, characterized by irregular and variable periods of activity throughout the 24-hour cycle. This behavior allows sloths to take advantage of favorable environmental conditions while minimizing the risk of predation.
sloths exhibited increased nocturnal activity on colder nights and the nights following colder days, indicating a potential correlation between temperature variations and their behavior. Dr. Cliffe, the lead scientist on the project, emphasized the importance of this research for conservation efforts and understanding the impact of anthropogenic activities and climate change on tropical ecosystems in South and Central America. With the vulnerability of these ecosystems on the rise, unraveling the behavioral ecology of wild sloths becomes crucial for developing effective conservation measures.
