Amazonia has undergone significant geological and climatic changes over millions of years, shaping its rich biodiversity. However, the impact of historical environmental change on driving species diversification remains debated. Two-toed sloths (genus Choloepus) provide a valuable model for studying this connection due to their wide distribution across Amazonia and their restricted arboreal lifestyle, which makes...
