Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Redescription of Mimon koepckeae (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2014
Mimon koepckeae Gardner & Patton, 1972 is a poorly-known bat species, with only three known specimens, including the holotype. Its distribution is restricted to the type locality in Ayacucho Department, Peru, and surroundings. This species has been synonymized with M. crenulatum by some authors. Based on a new specimen of M.

Frugivoria de morcegos (Mammalia, Chiroptera) em Cecropia pachystachya (Urticaceae) e seus efeitos na germinação das sementes

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2008
Os morcegos frugívoros são componentes fundamentais na manutenção e regeneração de florestas tropicais, pois ao se alimentarem, promovem a mobilidade das sementes dos frutos em que se alimentaram.

Soundscapes of the Upper Amazon: Seasonal Activity Patterns of Insectivorous Bats in Cordillera Escalera, Peru

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Bats, the second most diverse group of mammals, play essential ecological roles in insect control, pollination, and seed dispersal. In Peru, insectivorous bats remain poorly studied, particularly in high‐elevation rainforest ecosystems of the upper Amazon region.

Phyllostomid bat microbiome composition is associated to host phylogeny and feeding strategies

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The members of the Phyllostomidae, the New-World leaf-nosed family of bats, show a remarkable evolutionary diversification of dietary strategies including insectivory, as the ancestral trait, followed by appearance of carnivory and plant-based diets such

The role of precipitation and host assemblage composition in shaping bat–bat fly network structure

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Climatic seasonality plays an important role in shaping ecological interactions, including those between bats and their ectoparasitic bat flies. Although previous studies have acknowledged the influence of climate on the structure of bat–bat fly interaction networks, the existence of biogeographical patterns driven by climatic seasonality ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals biodiversity recovery in tropical forest restoration across multiple landscapes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Forest ecosystems have been degraded globally and restoration efforts aim to reverse loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function decline including carbon storage from the atmosphere. Assessments of restoration success predominantly emphasize increasing carbon stocks rather than species recovery.
