A novel hantavirus identified in bats (Carollia perspicillata) in Brazil [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBats play an essential role in maintaining ecosystems. Their unique characteristics increase the likelihood of interactions with various species, making them a potential source for the emergence and spread of infectious diseases.

Reinfestation of Streblidae ectoparasites (Diptera) in Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Chiroptera) Reinfestação de ectoparasitas Streblidae (Diptera) em Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mammalia: Chiroptera) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2011 The mark-recapture method allows analysis on the variation in the abundance of bat ectoparasites at consecutive captures. The objectives of this study were to compare the pattern of Streblidae parasitism between capture and recapture of C. perspicillata;

Repetitive DNAs and Karyotype Evolution in Phyllostomid Bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]
BiomoleculesBats are great models for studying repetitive DNAs due to their compact genomes and extensive chromosomal rearrangements. Here, we investigated the repetitive DNA content of two phyllostomid bat species, Artibeus lituratus (2nn = 30♀/31♂) and Carollia ...

Foraging Movements of a Frugivorous Bat, Carollia perspicillata (Phyllostomatidae)
Ecological Monographs, 1978 The foraging movements of a Neotropical frugivorous bat (Carollia perspicillata)were studied to better understand its impact on the plants it disperses and the factors influencing its foraging behavior. Radio telemetry was used during 2 wet seasons to monitor the bats' movements in a Costa Rican seasonal tropical forest. We monitored 24 individuals for

Olfaction in the fruit-eating bats Artibeus lituratus and Carollia perspicillata: an experimental analysis [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 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 ...

Use of artificial refuges as a strategy for the conservation of bats
Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2022 One of the main problems for the conservation of bats in Colombia is ignorance about them and their ecosystem services. In this study, we aimed to contribute to the understanding and conservation of the bat fauna of the Pasuncha region (Pacho ...
