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

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.

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.

The prostate of the bat Artibeus lituratus: Seasonal variations, abiotic regulation, and hormonal control

Journal of Morphology, 2021
AbstractThe prostate is an important gland that contributes to the male reproductive process, producing secretions that are essential for maintaining ideal conditions for the survival of sperm. Studies indicate a wide variation in the occurrence, morphology, and physiology of this gland in mammals, especially in bats, with this variation being related ...

Morphological and Histological Variations of the Reproductive Organs During the Annual Cycle in a Neotropical Bat: Peters' Ghost‐Faced Bat Mormoops megalophylla (Chiroptera: Mormoopidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 7, July 2025.
Mormoops megalophylla exhibits a seasonal monoestrous reproductive pattern. Spermatogenesis and folliculogenesis occurs from October to December, mating takes place in November–December, gestation lasts from December to May, and lactation extends from June to September.

Model‐based ordination for phenological studies: From controlling sampling bias to inferring temporal associations

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1542-1546, July 2025.
Abstract Willig et al. (Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 15, 868–885, 2024) cautioned that unequal sampling effort and pseudoreplication can bias the characterisation of species phenology using circular statistics. Borrowing concepts from rarefaction, they proposed bootstrapping to control for time‐varying marginal totals that arise from unequal ...

Olfaction in the fruit-eating bats Artibeus lituratus and Carollia perspicillata: an experimental analysis [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015
ABSTRACT Studies suggest that frugivorous bats search and select fruit mainly by olfaction so that they can be attracted by smell alone. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in captivity, the behavioural response (number of foraging attempts) of Artibeus lituratus and Carollia perspicillata offered essential oils extracted from ripe fruit of Ficus ...
