Seasonal variation and host sex affect bat–bat fly interaction networks in the Amazonian savannahs

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 400-416, May 2024.
Our data provide information on the interactions between bats and bat flies in one of the largest portions of Brazilian Amazonian savannah. Here, we demonstrate that environmental variations and host sex can influence the structure of interaction networks formed between bats and their ectoparasitic flies. Abstract Bats are the second‐most diverse group

Mammals, Serra da Concórdia, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [PDF]

, 2008
The Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro is extremely fragmented and reduced in its originalextension. Although there are a great number of studies related to the biome, few lists are available for this region.

Phenological patterns in ecology: Problems using circular statistics and solutions based on simulations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 868-885, May 2024.
Abstract Quantification of phenological patterns (e.g. migration, hibernation or reproduction) should involve statistical assessments of non‐uniform temporal patterns. Circular statistics (e.g. Rayleigh test or Hermans‐Rasson test) provide useful approaches for doing so based on the number of individuals that exhibit particular activities during a ...

Activity patterns of frugivorous phyllostomid bats in an urban fragment in southwest Amazonia, Brazil

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2018
: The habitat fragmentation modifies the pattern of animal activity. This study aimed to determine the activity pattern of frugivorous bat species in an urban forest fragment in southwestern Amazonia. The study was conducted from August 2013 to September

Sexual dichromatism in the fur of a bat: An exploration of color differences and potential signaling functions

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
We quantified the fur color of live eastern red bats (Lasiurus borealis) and demonstrated that they are sexually dichromatic; males had redder, more saturated, and lighter pelages than females. Additionally, juveniles were darker than adults. In an exploratory post‐hoc analysis, we showed that body mass (i.e., an index of body condition in bats ...

Relating Diet and Capture Time Between two Species of Frugivorous Bats (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae, Stenodermatinae)
Relacionando dieta e horários de captura entre duas espécies de morcegos frugívoros (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae, Stenodermatinae)

Semina: Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, 2012
Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) and Platyrrhinus lineatus (Geoffroy, 1810) are phyllostomid bats that often coexist in the same local and consume the same feed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to obtain data about feeding habits of the two species,

Density-dependent sex ratio and sex-specific preference for host traits in parasitic bat flies. [PDF]

, 2017
Deviation of sex ratios from unity in wild animal populations has recently been demonstrated to be far more prevalent than previously thought. Ectoparasites are prominent examples of this bias, given that their sex ratios vary from strongly female- to ...

Ecoepidemiology of Chagas Disease in a Biological Corridor in Southeastern Mexico: A Promising Approach to Understand the Risk of Chagas Disease

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Ecoepidemiology is an emerging field that attempts to explain how biotic, environmental, and even social factors influence the dynamics of infectious diseases. Particularly in vector‐borne diseases, the study under this approach offers us an overview of the pathogens, vectors, and hosts that coexist in a given region and their ecological determinants ...
