Brazilian Journal of BiologyBats 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

Agênese bilateral do M3 no morcego Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]
, 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.

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

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 ...
