The functional significance of aberrant cervical counts in sloths: insights from automated exhaustive analysis of cervical range of motion

Besides manatees, the suspensory extant ‘tree sloths’ are the only mammals that deviate from a cervical count (CC) of seven vertebrae. They do so in opposite directions in the two living genera (increased versus decreased CC). Aberrant CCs seemingly reflect neck mobility in both genera, suggesting a...
