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 ...

Functional differences in echolocation call design in an adaptive radiation of bats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 22, Page 16153-16164, November 2021., 2021 Most bat species use echolocation for navigation and foraging, but which and how ecological factors shaped echolocation call diversity remains unclear for the most diverse clades, including the adaptive radiation of neotropical leaf‐nosed bats (Phyllostomidae).

Dental anomaly in the yellow-shouldered bat, Sturnira lilium
Therya Notes, 2020 Abnormal dental formulas occur frequently in natural populations. Numerous cases of dental anomalies have been reported for many groups of mammals, and bats are the group with most dental anomalies among mammals. Here we describe the occurrence of a diastema in the position of the upper incisors in an individual of Sturnira lilium collected in southern
