Season-modulated responses of Neotropical bats to forest fragmentation [PDF]
Seasonality causes fluctuations in resource availability, affecting the presence and abundance of animal species. The impacts of these oscillations on wildlife populations can be exacerbated by habitat fragmentation.

A New Method of Fruit Marking for Studies on Chiropterochory
We used edible glitter to mark 15,526 fruits of three chiropterochorous plants at 700, 1000, 2000, and 3200 m from a bat roost in Brazil's caatinga. Glitter from all distances was detected at the roost, allowing the identification of specific feeding areas accessed, providing a new approach for zoochory studies.

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 ...

Wireless recording of the calls of Rousettus aegyptiacus and their reproduction using electrostatic transducers [PDF]
Bats are capable of imaging their surroundings in great detail using echolocation. To apply similar methods to human engineering systems requires the capability to measure and recreate the signals used, and to understand the processing applied to ...
