Demodex carolliae in a colony of Seba's short-tailed bats (Carollia perspicillata): clinical, pathological and parasitological findings

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2023
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Seba's short-tailed bats (Carollia perspicillata) are a frugivorous species native to Central and South America. Despite their importance as a reservoir for zoonotic pathogens and their popularity in zoological collection and as research models, there are relatively few reports on non-zoonotic diseases

Taste aversion learning in the bat, Carollia perspicillata

Behavioral and Neural Biology, 1980
Taste aversion learning was studied in a species of frugivorous bat, Carollia perspicillata . Over the course of conditioning, there was a marked reduction in consumption of the test food that was conditionally paired with injections of lithium chloride, and an increase in consumption of the alternative, “safe” food.

Feeding Short-Tailed Fruit Bats (Carollia perspicillata)

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009
INTRODUCTIONThe short-tailed fruit bat Carollia perspicillata is predominantly frugivorous in the wild and will therefore accept a variety of non-citrus fruits in captivity (e.g., bananas, apples, melon, and peaches). To promote cage cleanliness, however, these bats are routinely fed a fruit-based liquid diet that cannot be carried away from the food ...

Electroejaculation and semen buffer evaluation in the microbat Carollia perspicillata

Theriogenology, 2015
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Scientific interests and conservation needs currently stress the necessity to better understanding bat reproductive biology. In this study, we present the first, safe, inexpensive, and reliable method to obtain sperm from a microbat species (Carollia perspicillata) by electroejaculation.

Individual asymmetry as a predictor of fitness in the batCarollia perspicillata

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2019
AbstractThe measurement of fitness in wild populations is a challenging task, and a number of proxies have been proposed with different degrees of success. Developmental instability/stability (DI) is an organismal property associated with variance in bilateral asymmetry (fluctuating asymmetry—FA) and a correlated effect on fitness.

The electrocardiogram signal of Seba’s short-tailed bat, Carollia perspicillata

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2016
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) A number of studies have successfully used electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to characterize complex physiological phenomena such as associative learning in bats. However, at present, no thorough characterization of the structure of ECG signals is available for these animals. The aim of the present study

Hearing in American leaf-nosed bats. II: Carollia perspicillata

Hearing Research, 2003
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) We determined the audiograms of two short-tailed fruit bats (Carollia perspicillata), 18-g phyllostomids from Central and South America. For testing, we used a conditioned suppression/avoidance procedure with a fruit juice reward. At an intensity of 60 dB SPL, the hearing of C.

Cone bipolar cells in the retina of the microbat Carollia perspicillata

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2015
ABSTRACTWe studied the retinal cone bipolar cells of Carollia perspicillata, a microchiropteran bat of the phyllostomid family. Microchiroptera are strongly nocturnal, with small eyes and rod‐dominated retinae. However, they also possess a significant cone population (2–4%) comprising two spectral types, which are hence the basis for daylight and color

Tonotopic organization and parcellation of auditory cortex in the FM‐bat Carollia perspicillata

European Journal of Neuroscience, 1999
AbstractIn the short‐tailed fruit bat (Carollia perspicillata), the auditory cortex was localized autoradiographically and studied electrophysiologically in detail by using metal microelectrodes and 10‐ms tone stimuli. Because, in the weakly‐anaesthetized preparation, neuronal responses to pure‐tones were even found throughout the non‐primary auditory ...
