Evaluation of the Cell Population of the Seminiferous Epithelium and Spermatic Indexes of the Bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Due to the scarcity of information about patterns of spermatogenesis in bats, this study aimed to provide information on the testicular activity of the bat Sturnira lilium along the annual seasons.

Sexual dimorphism in Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae): can pregnancy and pup carrying be responsible for differences in wing shape? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Competition is one of the most cited mechanisms to explain secondary sexual dimorphism in animals. Nonetheless, it has been proposed that sexual dimorphism in bat wings is also a result of adaptive pressures to compensate additional weight caused by ...

Reproductive biology of the bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2014
Bats can be monoestrous or polyestrous, and seasonal or non-seasonal in their reproductive patterns. The strategy adopted by each species or population depends on the regional climate. The objective this study was to analyze reproductive data of Sturnira

Detection of adenovirus, papillomavirus and parvovirus in Brazilian bats of the species Artibeus lituratus and Sturnira lilium. [PDF]

Arch Virol, 2019
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats play a significant role in maintaining their ecosystems through pollination, dispersal of seeds, and control of insect populations, but they are also known to host many microorganisms and have been described as natural reservoirs for viruses with zoonotic potential.

Diet and Abundance of the Bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera) in a Brazilian Montane Atlantic Forest [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2008
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) We studied variations in diet and abundance of the bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a montane Atlantic Forest, in order to investigate if patterns in this habitat differ from those in the better-studied lowlands. The diet of S.

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic

Seasonal diet variation, preferences and availability of resources consumed by Sturnira lilium (É. Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1810) (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in Brazilian seasonal deciduous forest

Anais Da Academia Brasileira De Ciencias, 2021
Sturnira lilium is a frugivorous bat that is known for its high consumption of Solanaceae fruits. We captured S. lilium, using mistnets, to study its diet and diet seasonal variation in a seasonal deciduous forest in southern Brazil. We also investigated

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

Infection by Adenovirus Type 2 in a Short-Tailed Bat in Mexico. [PDF]

Case Rep Vet Med
A short‐tailed female bat (Carollia perspicillata), 1 year old, died without apparent signs of the disease while on display at an amusement park in the Municipality of Montemorelos, Nuevo León, Mexico. Amphophilic nuclear inclusion bodies were observed in the intestinal epithelia, corresponding to the virus of the adenovirus genera. Although there have
