Anthropogenic disturbances alter the trophic niche structure and ecological relationships of understory bat communities in the Ecuadorian Andean Chocó

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Human disturbances have reduced the three basic niche dimensions for the survival of some mammalian species (space, time, and resources). Anthropic activities cause the extinction of ecological functionalities faster than species extinctions. In this study, we identified four types of habitats in the Ecuadorian Andean Chocó: primary forest (PF ...

Bats and Mayan temples: Bat diversity and the potential for conservation of archeological zones in Yucatan, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 4, July 2024.
The role of archeological zones in biological conservation has been highlighted because they restrict land‐use change, size, and maintenance of upstanding vegetation. We found 23 species from six families and seven guilds, representing 53% of all bat species known from the Yucatan state, including two endangered species for Mexico.
