First Evidence of Fallen Fruit Feeding by Bats Revealed by Camera Traps in a Tropical Dry Forest
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.Ground foraging among volant frugivores is an underappreciated aspect of behavioral flexibility. Here we report the first evidence of fruit bats feeding on fallen fruit, captured by camera traps in a Costa Rican tropical dry forest. These observations provide insight into the flexibility and mechanisms of coexistence among frugivores.

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Using host species traits to understand the consequences of resource provisioning for host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2017 1.Supplemental food provided to wildlife by human activities can be more abundant and predictable than natural resources, and subsequent changes to wildlife ecology can have profound impacts on host–parasite interactions.
