Talk:Pink fairy armadillo

There seems to be the language link missing to the German Version of this article: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gürtelmulle —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.57.184.8 (talk) 22:54, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Coyote as predator... Huh?

The article states that coyotes prey on pink fairy armadillos when they come out of their burrows.

This makes **no sense**. Coyotes live only in North America, while this species lives only in the southern part of South America. —Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 02:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Indeed. I've removed the offending text. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:11, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Molecular data?

This article makes the claim that the pink fairy armadillo is the species of armadillo about which we have the least molecular data available. I have no clue what that means, other than possibly the author watching too much Star Trek. I am inclined to replace molecular data with 'information - citation needed'. 166.177.121.170 (talk) 00:48, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

After the sentence, "These armadillos are very susceptible to climate changes as well; since they inhabit temperate and warm regions, cold temperatures could wipe out its population due to their low metabolism rate and the lack of fat it is able to store.", add, "Pink fairy armadillos’ susceptibility to climate change has contributed significantly to their low population density. Even during periods of stable climate, prior climate fluctuations critically hinder their ability to successfully recover as a population. " Mlee268 (talk) 23:45, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't have access to the results, only the abstract. Do the results state with any certainty that climate fluctuations contributed significantly? The abstract says that was the postulation. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:20, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

@ScottishFinnishRadish: psst, you do know Sci-Hub exists, right? You can just type the DOI link in there and see the article yourself. Volteer1 (talk) 13:28, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Volteer1, well that's pretty handy. Reading that paper, it doesn't seem to support the requested edit. We propose that, at least in small, numerically rare species with broad distributions such as fairy armadillos, past climate variations may have caused their current low densities. "May have caused their current low densities" is not supportive of "prior climate fluctuations critically hinder their ability to successfully recover as a population.

In the section on Distribution of Habitat, I would add "As of 2020, the Chacoan Fairy Armadillo was officially recorded in the Sub-Andean Lowlands of Eastern Bolivia. Though the species prevalence in the country cannot be comprehensively described, the verification of the specimen - after several unconfirmed sightings - points to its possible existence of in the sandy soils of southeastern Bolivia."

Inconsistent Subfamily

The classification box claims the Pink Fairy Armadillo is part of the subfamily Chlamyphorinae (correct as of now) while the description in the Evolutionary Origins tab claims they are part of the subfamily Euphractinae (incorrect as of now). 2600:1700:6560:1600:7202:A04A:C507:6C00 (talk) 13:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
