Consumo de plantas pioneras por murciélagos frugívoros en una localidad de la orinoquía colombiana [PDF]
, 2015 English: Feeding behavior plays a major role as a resource partitioning strategy within assemblages of fruit bats. Although Colombia is one of the most diverse countries in terms of bat diversity, the influence of phenology of consumed resources on bat ...

The absence of spatial echo suppression in the echolocating bats Megaderma lyra and Phyllostomus discolor [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARY Acoustic orientation most often takes place in echoic environments. The mammalian auditory system shows a variety of specializations to suppress misleading spatial information mediated by echoes. Psychophysically these specializations are summarized as the precedence effect. This study investigates how echolocating bats deal with

Bats of the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brasil [PDF]
, 2010 Minas Gerais (MG) é o maior estado da região sudeste e sua localização em área de transição entre a faixa super úmida da costa e os ecossistemas mais áridos do centro-oeste brasileiro propicia a ocorrência de um rico mosaico de biomas e ecossistemas ...

Isolation calls of the bat saccopteryx bilineata encode multiple messages [PDF]
, 2017 The information that can possibly be encoded in a given vocalization is limited by the available acoustic space. Vocalizations composed of several elements have the potential to distribute information among distinct elements and thus encode various ...

Bats as instructive animal models for studying longevity and aging
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1541, Issue 1, Page 10-23, November 2024.Every organism's lifespan depends on the balance of protective and regenerative versus degenerative processes. Bats (Chiroptera) live far longer than is predicted by their small body size. Recent studies explore mechanisms underlying their longevity and have raised the question of how their aging compares to that of equally long‐lived primates.

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 928-941, September 2024.Genes associated with taste, digestive system, and metabolism underlie the evolution of dietary diversification in New World leaf‐nosed bats. Abstract The most significant driver of adaptive radiation in the New World leaf‐nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) is their remarkably diverse feeding habits, yet there remains a notable scarcity of studies addressing ...

Bat mating systems—A review and recategorisation
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.Mating systems play crucial roles in behaviour, distribution, reproductive success, and population dynamics. Bats, known for their diverse mating systems, offer valuable insights into understanding the causes and effects of social organisation, yet research in this area lags behind broader bat studies.

FIRST RECORD OF NATURAL PREDATION ON BATS BY DOMESTIC CAT IN BRAZIL, WITH DISTRIBUTION EXTENSION FOR PHYLLOSTOMUS DISCOLOR [PDF]
, 2020 Domestic cats (Felis catus) prey upon bats, but the impact of this predation on bats, and their populations, by domestic cats worldwide has been underestimated. In Brazil, there is no scientific record of this natural predation event.

Seasonal variation and host sex affect bat–bat fly interaction networks in the Amazonian savannahs
Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 400-416, May 2024.Our data provide information on the interactions between bats and bat flies in one of the largest portions of Brazilian Amazonian savannah. Here, we demonstrate that environmental variations and host sex can influence the structure of interaction networks formed between bats and their ectoparasitic flies. Abstract Bats are the second‐most diverse group
