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

Ectoparasitic flies (Diptera: Streblidae) on bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from a Private Natural Heritage Reserve in southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2021 Due to the small number of records of Streblidae on bats, despite extensive study on these mammals in the state of Rio de Janeiro, a survey was carried out in an area of the Atlantic Forest.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 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

Hemotropic mycoplasmas in bats from forest fragments, state of Paraná, southern Brazil
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022 The order Chiroptera is the second largest group of mammals with bats being identified as reservoir of several viral zoonoses, although, little is known about their role in other groups of pathogens, including hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 We demonstrate that an increase in body mass significantly increases the estimated seed dispersal mean and maximum distances, as does species flight ability. Our results also suggest that protected areas have a positive effect on mean seed dispersal distances when compared to unprotected areas. We anticipate that this review will act as a reference for

Global review and guidelines to avoid opportunistic predation of birds and bats in mist nets
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 Mist nets are one of the most widely used techniques in the study of birds and bats worldwide. However, a number of risks are involved, including opportunistic predation. Using guidelines for the correct use of mist nets can not only decrease predation rates but also the risk of injury to birds and bats.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...
