Dieta de Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) (Mammalia, Chiroptera) em um fragmento florestal urbano da cidade de Londrina, Paraná, Brasil

Biotemas, 2019
Morcegos são conhecidos por sua importância na regulação dos ecossistemas e no seu envolvimento na polinização e na dispersão de sementes. Espécies de morcegos fitófagos como, por exemplo, Artibeus lituratus ocupam com frequência áreas alteradas ou até ...

Asimetría cráneo-mandibular de Artibeus lituratus (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) en Colombia [PDF]

Universitas Scientiarum, 2014
Analyzing asymmetry in species associated with disturbed environments enables the evaluation of the morphological plasticity of generalistic species and the different evolutionary responses of sexes or populations to environmental or genetic stress. This report is a study of the cranial and mandibular asymmetry of Colombian Artibeus lituratus.

Anatomical and Histological Characterization of the Intestine of Artibeus lituratus. [PDF]

Anat Histol Embryol
ABSTRACT The order Chiroptera is highly diverse and is the second richest among mammals. Approximately 181 species are known in Brazil, with varied feeding habits that make them essential for ecological functions such as seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Despite the importance of their ecosystem services, the anatomical and histological aspects of

Short-term effects of a spinosyn's family insecticide on energy metabolism and liver morphology in frugivorous bats Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2012
A new class of insecticide derived from fermentation of Sacharopolyspora spinosa - spinosad, has been indicated as being of low toxicity and a natural alternative to classical pesticides.

Morphophysiology and Hormonal Control of the Mammary Gland of the Bat Artibeus lituratus During Gestation and Lactation: Emphasis on Estradiol and Progesterone. [PDF]

J Morphol
The mammary gland of NON females of Artibeus lituratus was composed of few ducts interspersed within a rich stroma, and covered by adipose tissue. The branching of the mammary gland in AP females are triggered by stimuli from an increase in serum estradiol that, through ERα activation, stimulates the proliferation of the ducts, and an increase in serum

Spontaneous germ cell death by apoptosis in epididymis of the adult bat Artibeus lituratus.

Cytobios, 1999
Many factors can lead cells to apoptosis during the various stages of cell life. This study was undertaken to characterize germ cell death in the epididymis of the adult Artibeus lituratus by histochemical and immunohistochemical techniques using light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

Host Abundance Predicts Interactive Roles in Neotropical Bat-Bat Fly Interactions. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We analyzed the influence of bat functional traits on their importance as hosts in bat–bat fly networks. Our results indicate that bat abundance is the main driver for host importance in Neotropical bat–bat fly interactions. ABSTRACT Host functional traits are known to shape host‐parasite interactions across multiple taxa.

Sialolith in Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae): case report

Biotemas, 2015
Sialoliths are calcified structures that develop into the salivary duct system, they have a round or oval shape and are usually asymptomatic. They result from the deposition of calcium salts around focal areas of organic matter and grow continuously ...

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic
