Ecological function over evolutionary legacy: The limited role of shared evolutionary history in shaping modern frugivory interactions

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3688-3703, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Frugivory, encompassing interactions between vertebrates and plants that range from mutualistic to antagonistic, drives seed dispersal and underpins the structure and resilience of tropical ecosystems.

High local diversity of Trypanosoma in a common bat species, and implications for the biogeography and taxonomy of the T. cruzi clade. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The Trypanosoma cruzi clade is a group of parasites that comprises T. cruzi sensu lato and its closest relatives. Although several species have been confirmed phylogenetically to belong to this clade, it is uncertain how many more species can be expected

Pollen essential amino acids shape bat–flower interaction networks

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3311-3324, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although pollen consumption by phytophagous bats has long been documented, the role of its protein and amino acid content in driving plant–pollinator interactions remains largely overlooked.

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an

Códigos para identificação de Cepas de Trypanosoma salivaria isoladas em mamíferos da América do Sul. [PDF]

, 2011
Códigos para a designação de cepas de tripanosomas são necessários para a correta identificação e manipulação dos parasitas. A documentação que acompanha a codificação desses parasitas é de extrema utilidade, pois caso a documentação esteja incorreta ...

A sequential naïve Bayes classifier for DNA barcodes [PDF]

, 2014
DNA barcodes are short strands of 255–700 nucleotide bases taken from the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) region of the mitochondrial DNA. It has been proposed that these barcodes may be used as a method of differentiating between biological species.

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

HISTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TONGUE IN NEOTROPICAL FRUGIVOROUS BATS (MAMMALIA – CHIROPTERA) WITH REPORT OF EPITHELIAL PIGMENTATION

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2017
The tongue is regarded as a key organ for bats, since the specialized characters are used for taxonomic and systematic purposes, cladistic studies, and elucidation of patterns of eating habits.

Early Morning Activity: New records of diurnal behavior in Mexican bats

Mammalogy Notes
Bats are predominantly nocturnal animals, but some studies, mainly from temperate regions and islands, report bats flying during the day. We report the diurnal foraging of three species of bats in Mexico, one species of the family Vespertilionidae, and ...
