A large number of arthropods are associated with sloths. These include biting and blood-sucking flies such as mosquitoes and sandflies, triatomine bugs, lice, ticks and mites. The sloth’s fur forms a micro-ecozone inhabited by green algae and hundreds of insects. Sloths have a highly specific community of commensal beetles, mites and moths. Species of sloths recorded to host arthropods include: * Pale-throated three-toed sloth Bradypus tridactylus * Brown three-toed sloth Bradypus variegatus * Linnaeus's two-toed sloth Choloepus didactylus

  • A large number of arthropods are associated with sloths. These include biting and blood-sucking flies such as mosquitoes and sandflies, triatomine bugs, lice, ticks and mites. The sloth’s fur forms a micro-ecozone inhabited by green algae and hundreds of insects. Sloths have a highly specific community of commensal beetles, mites and moths. Species of sloths recorded to host arthropods include: * Pale-throated three-toed sloth Bradypus tridactylus * Brown three-toed sloth Bradypus variegatus * Linnaeus's two-toed sloth Choloepus didactylus The large variety of arthropods associated with sloths comprise two distinct feeding guilds – the haematophagous guild, represented by biting flies, mites, and ticks, and the coprophagous guild which comprises a unique assemblage of moths and beetles which utilize the sloth principally for phoresis and whose larval stages feed and develop in the dung of the host sloth.

  • Um grande número de artrópodes estão associado às preguiças. Estes incluem dípteros hematófagos (picadores e sugadores de sangue), como mosquitos e flebotomíneos, insetos triatomíneos, piolhos, carrapatos e ácaros . O pelo da preguiça forma um microecossistema habitado por algas verdes e centenas de insetos. As preguiças têm uma comunidade altamente específica de comensais, que incluem besouros, ácaros e mariposas. As espécies de preguiças hospedeiras de artrópodes incluem: * Preguiça-de-bentinho, Bradypus tridactylus * Preguiça-comum, Bradypus variegatus * Preguiça-real, Choloepus didactylus A grande variedade de artrópodes associados às preguiças compreende duas guildas de alimentação distintas - a guilda hematófaga, representada por moscas picadoras, ácaros e carrapatos, e a guilda coprófaga, que compreende um conjunto único de mariposas e besouros que utilizam a preguiça principalmente para forese e cuja os estágios larvais se alimentam e se desenvolvem no esterco da preguiça hospedeira. As preguiças criam com suas fezes um ecossistema para a sobrevivência das larvas, sendo, portanto, um exemplo de metabiose. (pt)
