Pollen digestion by nectarivorous and frugivorous Antillean bats
Mammalian Biology, 2005(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The ability to extract pollen contents may be related to the extent to which animals use this item as a regular part of their diet. In spite of the broad diversity of taxa that feed on pollen, comparative studies to test this hypothesis are scarce. We compared the extraction efficiency of pollen grains

Adaptive Strategies of Frugivore Bats to Andean Cloud Forests
2020It is well known that first feature distinguishing bat assemblages from along an altitudinal gradient is the drastic reduction in the number of constituent species (Graham 1983; Patterson et al. 1996). In two previous papers, we examined how the bat assemblages of tropical cloud forests of Venezuelan Andes were composed and structured (Soriano 2000 ...

Emerging encephalitogenic viruses: lyssaviruses and henipaviruses transmitted by frugivorous bats
2004Three newly recognized encephalitogenic zoonotic viruses spread from fruit bats of the genus Pteropus (order Chiroptera, suborder Megachiroptera) have been recognised over the past decade. These are: Hendra virus, formerly named equine morbillivirus, which was responsible for an outbreak of disease in horses and humans in Brisbane, Australia, in 1994 ...

Frugivorous Bats, Seed Shadows, and the Structure of Tropical Forests
Biotropica, 1981In this paper we present data on the seed shadows produced by frugivorous bats in a Costa Rican dry tropical forest and document the density and dispersion patterns of their food species. At Santa Rosa National Park, frugivorous bats are mobile foragers and have relatively broad diets.

Composition of guano produced by frugivorous, sanguivorous, and insectivorous bats
Acta Chiropterologica, 2007(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bat guano supports an assemblage of organisms that varies depending on the species of bat producing it. To determine whether these differences in community structure may be due to differences in guano composition, we analyzed guano from frugivorous (Pteropus rodricensis), sanguivorous (Desmodus ...

Use of the wings in manipulative and suspensory behaviors during feeding by frugivorous bats
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Comparative Experimental Biology, 2004AbstractFrugivory evolved independently in Old and New World fruit bats (Families Pteropodidae and Phyllostomidae, respectively) and anecdotal reports state that these bats use their wings in different ways for manipulating food items and postural support during feeding.

The influence of hunger and sex on the foraging decisions of frugivorous bats
Behavioral EcologyAbstract An animal's internal state can shift its behavior. Animals that would typically avoid dangerous foraging conditions may choose to forego safety when food is restricted. Furthermore, physiological demands such as gravidness can drive sex differences in foraging behavior among individuals of the same species.
