Nocturnal activity by the primarily diurnal Central American agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) in relation to environmental conditions, resource abundance and predation risk [PDF]
, 2009 An animal's fitness is in part based on its ability to manage the inherent risks (foraging costs, predation, exposure to disease) with the benefits (resource gain, access to mates, social interactions) of activity (Abrams 1991, Altizer et al. 2003, Lima &

Functional divergence drives the prevalence of low‐abundance species in bat assemblages
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are structured by a few common species, while most occur at low abundance. Understanding the drivers of this widespread pattern raises fundamental questions about community assembly rules and is important for applied ecology for identifying ...

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.
