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 ...

Living Away From Specialized Pollinators: The Pollination System of Ceiba pentandra in the Yucatan Peninsula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
The pollination system of C. pentandra was addressed. This system was highly generalized. ABSTRACT Plant‐pollinator systems can exist along the gradient from extreme specialization to extreme generalization. Theoretical work predicts that high pollinator reliability may lead to specialized pollination systems, while pollinator unpredictability may ...

Nutritional content of bat-consumed fruits in a forest fragment in Southern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The State Park Mata dos Godoy has 42 identified bat species, among which 21 are frugivorous and belong to the Phyllostomidae family. Current study investigated the concentrations of carbohydrate, lipid and protein in fruits consumed by Artibeus lituratus,

Testing the Effectiveness of Synthetic Chemical Lures to Increase Fruit Bat‐Mediated Seed Dispersal in a Tropical Forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
This study investigates the use of synthetic chemical lures to attract fruit‐eating bats and enhance seed dispersal in northeastern Costa Rica. The lures significantly increased the capture of Carollia spp., a key seed disperser, and boosted seed rain.

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,

Infection by Adenovirus Type 2 in a Short‐Tailed Bat in Mexico

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
A short‐tailed female bat (Carollia perspicillata), 1 year old, died without apparent signs of the disease while on display at an amusement park in the Municipality of Montemorelos, Nuevo León, Mexico. Amphophilic nuclear inclusion bodies were observed in the intestinal epithelia, corresponding to the virus of the adenovirus genera. Although there have

The effect of group size on sleep in a neotropical bat, Artibeus jamaicensis

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 341, Issue 10, Page 1097-1110, December 2024.
Research Highlights We combine behavioral and physiological data to show that Jamaican fruit bats (Artibeus jamaicensis) sleeping in groups may sleep longer than individuals sleeping alone, and that behavior can be used to measure some sleep metrics in wild bats.

Bat mating systems—A review and recategorisation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Mating systems play crucial roles in behaviour, distribution, reproductive success, and population dynamics. Bats, known for their diverse mating systems, offer valuable insights into understanding the causes and effects of social organisation, yet research in this area lags behind broader bat studies.
