Functional skull asymmetries in Carollia perspicillata (Phyllostomidae Gray, 1825: Carollinae)
Analysing asymmetry in wild or domestic species enables the evaluation of the morphological responses to functional requirements and/or stress. This report is a study of the cranial asymmetry of Seba's short-tailed bat Carollia perspicillata by means of geometric morphometric techniques.

Ecological aspects related to parasitism are one of the less studied issues in parasitology research, and the scarce evidence available supports that younger specimens present higher infestation rates.

Nudacotyle carollia sp. nov. (Trematoda, Nudacotylidae) parasito intestinal de Carollia perspicillata L. (Chiroptera) en Colombia [PDF]
Nudacotyle carollia sp. nov. (Trematoda, Nudacotylidae) is described on the basis of specimens from the intestinal tracts of three Colombian bats of the species Carollia perspicillata L. The new species resembles both of the genera of the family, Nudacotyle and Neocotyle, in the general position of the organs and in having a vertical cleft.
