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.

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

Interindividual variations in fruit preferences of the yellow-shouldered bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a cafeteria experiment [PDF]
mammalia, 2014 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) In studies on frugivory and seed dispersal, it is frequently assumed that individual frugivores of the same population behave as equivalents. However, there is growing evidence from dietary studies pointing out that, in many natural populations, individuals use different subsets of the total resource ...

Agênese bilateral do M3 no morcego Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]
Notas sobre Mamíferos Sudamericanos, 2023 Dental anomalies are common in mammals, especially bats, but are still a poorly understood phenomenon. Since mammal taxonomy typically relies on dental formulas, unnoticed dental anomalies could lead to species misidentification.

Reproduction of Artibeus lituratus and Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a Semideciduous Seasonal Forest fragment in southern Brazil [PDF]
Acta Biológica Paranaense, 2022 Here we evaluate the reproduction and changes in abundance among different reproductive stages for Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) and Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy, 1810) in a Semideciduous Seasonal Forest fragment at southern Brazil.

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.
