Food niche overlap among neotropical frugivorous bats in Costa Rica
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2007 Food habits of 15 species of frugivorous bats were studied at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. Eight hundred and fifty-four (854) fecal samples and 169 samples from fruit parts and seeds discarded by bats beneath feeding roosts were analyzed ...

Mating system of a Neotropical roost-making bat: the white-throated, round-eared bat, Lophostoma silvicolum (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]
, 2018 The vast majority of bats strongly depend on, but do not make, shelters or roosts. We investigated Lophostoma silvicolum, which roosts in active termite nests excavated by the bats themselves, to study the relationship between roost choice and mating ...

Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in native and reforested areas in Rancho Alegre, Paraná, Brazil
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010 Generally, natural environments have been transformed into small forest remnants, with the consequent habitat loss and species extinction. The North Paraná State is not an exception, since only 2 to 4% of the original ecosystem occurs in small fragments ...

All-offspring dispersal in a tropical mammal with resource defense polygyny [PDF]
, 2018 In polygynous mammals, males are usually responsible for gene flow while females are predominantly philopatric. However, there is evidence that in a few mammalian species female offspring may disperse to avoid breeding with their father when male tenure ...

Transcriptomic Signatures of Tacaribe Virus-Infected Jamaican Fruit Bats
mSphere, 2017 Tacaribe virus (TCRV) is a mammalian arenavirus that was first isolated from artibeus bats in the 1950s. Subsequent experimental infection of Jamaican fruit bats (Artibeus jamaicensis) caused a disease similar to that of naturally infected bats. Although

ACTA ZOOLÓGICA MEXICANA (N.S.), 2017 La deforestación de las selvas provoca la fragmentación de los hábitats, lo cual interviene en la composición, abundancia y demografía de las especies, y por lo tanto, en el aislamiento poblacional en muchas especies. Los impactos de la fragmentación dependerán de la capacidad de respuesta de las especies a los disturbios en su hábitat, y de la ...

Phyllostomid bat microbiome composition is associated to host phylogeny and feeding strategies
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The members of the Phyllostomidae, the New-World leaf-nosed family of bats, show a remarkable evolutionary diversification of dietary strategies including insectivory, as the ancestral trait, followed by appearance of carnivory and plant-based diets such
