Retinofugal Projections Into Visual Brain Structures in the Bat Artibeus planirostris: A CTb Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 A well-developed visual system can provide significant sensory information to guide motor behavior, especially in fruit-eating bats, which usually use echolocation to navigate at high speed through cluttered environments during foraging.

The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus and the Intergeniculate Leaflet of the Flat-Faced Fruit-Eating Bat (Artibeus planirostris): Retinal Projections and Neurochemical Anatomy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 In mammals, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) are the main components of the circadian timing system. The SCN, classically known as the master circadian clock, generates rhythms and synchronizes them to environmental

Body mass index and glucose variations during the night in free-ranging Artibeus planirostris (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2019 Body condition is an important measure to estimate the energy reserve of an organism. Scientists frequently use body condition indices (BCIs) with morphometric measures but direct measurements, such as blood glucose, seem to be more reliable. We observed
