Frugivory of bats in a threatened semiarid region in southeastern Brazil

open access: yesMammalogy Notes, 2022
Fruit bats have a high seed dispersal capacity contributing to the establishment of numerous plant species. In this work we examined the frugivorous diet of phyllostomid bats in the Cavernas do Peruaçu National Park, north of Minas Gerais, Brazil, an ...

Spatiotemporal trends in floral visitation and interaction networks reveal shifting niches for bats in a Neotropical savanna

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 1442-1455, July 2023., 2023
The article reveals that the temporal and spatial axes are important drivers of the floral‐visitor niche of anthophilous bats in a Neotropical savanna, defining the structure of their interaction networks with plants. These findings may aid in the management of the endangered Cerrado bat Lonchophylla dekeyseri. Abstract Flower‐vising bats are important

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Global patterns of functional trait variation along aridity gradients in bats

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 1014-1029, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Our understanding of the biological strategies employed by species to cope with challenges posed by aridity is still limited. Despite being sensitive to water loss, bats successfully inhabit a wide range of arid lands. We here investigated how functional traits of bat assemblages vary along the global aridity gradient to identify traits ...

Frugivorous bat (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) community structure and trophic relations in Atlantic Forest fragments

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2021
We evaluated the structure of a community of frugivorous bats using composition and abundance patterns, niche amplitude and food overlap of these animals in four Atlantic Forest fragments, each one exposed to different conservation realities. For twelve

Segregação de recursos por diferentes espécies de morcegos (Mammalia: Chiroptera) na Reserva Biológica de Sooretama [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Em ecologia, uma das ideias mais importantes é o princípio da exclusão competitiva, ou Lei de Gause, que afirma que duas espécies competindo pelos mesmos recursos não podem coexistir de modo estável se todos os outros fatores ecológicos forem constantes.
