The ecology of attraction: Fruit traits and frugivore diversity in neotropical Piper

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 611-623, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits can benefit plant reproduction by enhancing seed dispersal by mutualistic frugivores (e.g. seed dispersal syndromes), but identifying the role of specific fruit traits in mediating frugivory is challenging because these traits can serve multiple functions ...

Do Energetic Challenges Mimicking Missed Foraging Encourage Torpor Use by a Neotropical Bat?

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We experimentally tested whether Merriam's long‐tongued bat (Glossophaga mutica), a Neotropical nectarivorous species, uses heterothermy in response to reduced energy intake. We found that energetically challenged bats maintained subcutaneous temperatures significantly closer to roost temperature during the daytime inactive period.

Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

“Pit-tag” como marca permanente en Myotis chiloensis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) y Tadarida brasiliensis (Chiroptera: Molossidae) en Chile central

Gayana, 2022
El seguimiento y monitoreo de poblaciones de murciélagos han involucrado con frecuencia el uso de métodos de marcaje inefectivos y poco seguros. Por su reducido tamaño, los transpondedores integrados pasivos (PIT-tag) permiten marcar  especies de ...

Nocturnal Gardeners: Dispersal of Large Seeds by Tent‐Roosting Bats in the Lacandon Rainforest, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tent‐roosting bats in the Lacandon Forest, Mexico, play a previously undocumented role in dispersing large seeds (> 5 mm) from mature forest species with important ecological and human uses. Sampling 21 feeding tents across two protected areas yielded 2137 seeds from 54 species, with seed deposition rates significantly higher under bat tents than in ...

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.
