Bat-fruit interactions are more specialized in shaded-coffee plantations than in tropical mountain cloud forest fragments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Forest disturbance causes specialization of plant-frugivore networks and jeopardizes mutualistic interactions through reduction of ecological redundancy. To evaluate how simplification of a forest into an agroecosystem affects plant-disperser mutualistic

The spleen morphophysiology of fruit bats [PDF]
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2019 AbstractSpleen is one of the important lymphoid organs with wide variations of morphological and physiological functions according to species. Morphology and function of the spleen in bats, which are hosts to several viral strains without exhibiting clinical symptoms, remain to be fully elucidated.

Fruit bats and bat fruits: the evolution of fruit scent in relation to the foraging behaviour of bats in the New and Old World tropics [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2013 SummaryFrugivory among bats (Chiroptera) has evolved independently in the New and Old World tropics: within the families Phyllostomidae and Pteropodidae, respectively. Bats from both families rely primarily on olfaction for the location of fruits. However, the influence of bats on the evolution of fruit scent is almost completely unknown.Using the ...

The missing part of seed dispersal networks: structure and robustness of bat-fruit interactions.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Mutualistic networks are crucial to the maintenance of ecosystem services. Unfortunately, what we know about seed dispersal networks is based only on bird-fruit interactions.

REDISCOVERY OF MERISTASPIS LATERALIS (KOLENATI) (ACARI: MESOSTIGMATA: SPINTURNICIDAE) PARASITIZING THE EGYPTIAN FRUIT BAT, ROUSETTUS AEGYPTIACUS (GEOFFROY) (MAMMALIA: CHIROPTERA), WITH A KEY TO MITES OF BATS IN EGYPT [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2014 Faunistic information about bat mites in Egypt is scarce. Collection records of parasitic mites, Meristaspis lateralis (Kolenati, 1856) (Mesostigmata: Spinturnicidae), are reported from the Egyptian fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus (Geoffroy, 1810 ...
