"The Subspecific Status of Two Central American Sloths" by E. Raymond Hall and Keith R. Kelson is a scientific publication produced in the early 1950s. This work focuses on the taxonomic classification of two types of Central American sloths, analyzing their subspecific status within existing species. The authors examine various specimens, offering new insights into the morphological characteristics that differentiate these sloths from one another and discussing their placement in the broader context of mammalian taxonomy. In this publication, Hall and Kelson detail their research regarding the three-toed sloth classified as "Bradypus griseus ignavus" and the two-toed sloth cataloged as "Cyclopes tridactylus mexicanus". The authors present evidence collected from a variety of specimens across Central America, comparing morphological features such as skull shape, coloration, and palate depth. They argue for the relegation of these groups to subspecific rank rather than full species status by demonstrating significant overlap in characteristics and noting intergrading specimens. This meticulous examination contributes to a better understanding of sloth taxonomy and informs future studies in Mammalogy and conservation efforts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
