• The teeth of the “toothless”: novelties and key innovations in the evolution of xenarthrans (Mammalia, Xenarthra) (2009, background): “According to McNab (1984), large-bodied myrmecophagous eutherians (.1 kg) generally possesses low body temperatures and low basal metabolic rates, and consequently they do not have high reproduction rates, a set of conditions that applies to both aardvarks and xenarthrans.”
• Towards a mechanistic understanding of the responses of large terrestrial mammals to heat and aridity associated with climate change (2016, unknown): “peratures than expected for their size [59].”
