Osteoderms are dermal ossifications present in several vertebrates and assemble a
carapace on armadillos. Here we describe ichnotaxonomically two types of bioerosion …

This paper presents pathological lesions in the osteoderms of three extinct pampatheres:
two specimens of the genus Holmesina sp. and one specimen of Pampatherium humboldtii …

A new species of T unga (S iphonaptera: T ungidae) collected from armadillos in A rgentina
