Suitability of DNA extracted from archival specimens of fruit-eating bats of the genus Artibeus (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) for polymerase chain reaction and sequencing analysis

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
To establish a technique which minimized the effects of fixation on the extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed tissues preserved in scientific collections we extracted DNA samples from fixed tissues using different methods and evaluated the effect of the ...

Seasonal variation and host sex affect bat–bat fly interaction networks in the Amazonian savannahs

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 400-416, May 2024.
Our data provide information on the interactions between bats and bat flies in one of the largest portions of Brazilian Amazonian savannah. Here, we demonstrate that environmental variations and host sex can influence the structure of interaction networks formed between bats and their ectoparasitic flies. Abstract Bats are the second‐most diverse group

Phenological patterns in ecology: Problems using circular statistics and solutions based on simulations

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 868-885, May 2024.
Abstract Quantification of phenological patterns (e.g. migration, hibernation or reproduction) should involve statistical assessments of non‐uniform temporal patterns. Circular statistics (e.g. Rayleigh test or Hermans‐Rasson test) provide useful approaches for doing so based on the number of individuals that exhibit particular activities during a ...

Frugivorous bats in the Colombian Caribbean region are reservoirs of the rabies virus

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2019
Background Bats are an important ecological group within ecosystems. The rabies virus is a Lyssavirus, and haematophagous bats are the principal reservoir; however, the virus has also been detected in non-haematophagous bats.

Dípteros ectoparasitos de morcegos em uma área de cerrado no estado de Goiás, Brasil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A survey of bat flies was carried out in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado) in the Goiás state, Brazil. We collected 227 specimens of seventeen species belonging to nine genera of Streblidae and seven specimens of four species of Basilia Miranda-Ribeiro ...

Habitat differences in seed‐dispersing vertebrates indicate dispersal limitation in tropical bracken‐dominated deforested areas

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 56, Issue 3, May 2024.
Forest regeneration in tropical bracken‐dominated deforested areas is mainly hindered by dispersal limitation. We found differences in species composition of seed‐dispersing birds and bats between the forest and bracken‐dominated areas, which could be one of the main causes of dispersal limitation in forest regeneration in tropical bracken‐dominated ...

Consumo de plantas pioneras por murciélagos frugívoros en una localidad de la orinoquía colombiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
English: Feeding behavior plays a major role as a resource partitioning strategy within assemblages of fruit bats. Although Colombia is one of the most diverse countries in terms of bat diversity, the influence of phenology of consumed resources on bat ...

Variable shifts in bird and bat assemblages as a result of reduced‐impact logging revealed after 10 years

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 145-159, January 2024.
Our study demonstrates how best practice forestry and logging can maintain healthy vertebrate populations over the long term. Forestry concessions that adopt techniques of low‐harvest RIL and are managed for their long‐term timber provision through extension of regeneration times beyond 10 years after harvest, are likely to benefit from the ecosystem ...

Mammalia, Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae, Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823) and Trachops cirrhosus (Spix, 1823): First record for the state of Sergipe, northeastern Brazil

open access: yesCheck List, 2010
Two specimens of bats deposited in the mammal collection of Universidade Federal da Paraíba have been found:one young female of Artibeus planirostris and one adult male of Trachops cirrhosus.
