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.

Jussara (Euterpe edulis Mart.) supplementation during pregnancy and lactation modulates UCP-1 and inflammation biomarkers induced by trans-fatty acids in the brown adipose tissue of offspring

Clinical Nutrition Experimental, 2017
Background & aims: The brown adipose tissue (BAT) regulates energy expenditure via thermogenesis by uncoupling protein 1 (UPC-1). We investigated the effect of the maternal diet enriched with trans-fatty acids (TFAs) in combination or not with jussara ...

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]

, 2020
Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Studies of Reservoir Hosts for Marburg Virus

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
To determine reservoir hosts for Marburg virus (MARV), we examined the fauna of a mine in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The mine was associated with a protracted outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever during 1998–2000.

Wireless recording of the calls of Rousettus aegyptiacus and their reproduction using electrostatic transducers [PDF]

, 2008
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 ...

Genome-wide signatures of convergent evolution in echolocating mammals [PDF]

, 2013
Evolution is typically thought to proceed through divergence of genes, proteins, and ultimately phenotypes(1-3). However, similar traits might also evolve convergently in unrelated taxa due to similar selection pressures(4,5).
