Ecology and EvolutionTelomeres are key biomarkers of cellular ageing, yet their dynamics remain poorly studied in tropical and short‐lived bat species. Here, we present the first investigation of telomere length across age in Molossus molossus, a tropical bat historically ...

The Value of Molecular vs. Morphometric and Acoustic Information for Species Identification Using Sympatric Molossid Bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 A fundamental condition for any work with free-ranging animals is correct species identification. However, in case of bats, information on local species assemblies is frequently limited especially in regions with high biodiversity such as the Neotropics.

Heart rate reveals torpor at high body temperatures in lowland tropical free-tailed bats [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Reduction in metabolic rate and body temperature is a common strategy for small endotherms to save energy. The daily reduction in metabolic rate and heterothermy, or torpor, is particularly pronounced in regions with a large variation in daily ambient ...
