Seasonal assessment of the reproductive cycle and energy reserves of male bats Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2014
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats play an important role in regulating ecosystems, and seasonality has great influence on their reproductive cycle and storage status of bodily energy reserves. Aiming at a better understanding of the dynamics of these processes, male little yellow-shouldered bats (Sturnira lilium) were captured ...

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.

A global systematic review of frugivorous animal tracking studies and the estimation of seed dispersal distances

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.

Elevation drives taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic β‐diversity of phyllostomid bats in the Amazon biome

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 70-85, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim We evaluated the relative importance of geographical and environment variables for taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional β‐diversity of phyllostomid bats along the entire Amazon biome and specifically in the lowlands. Location Amazon biome. Taxon Chiroptera.

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).

Historical Spatial Distribution of Zoonotic Diseases in Domestic, Synanthropic, and Wild Animals in the Mexican Territory of the Yucatan Peninsula

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The Mexican territory of the Yucatan Peninsula has a tropical climate and harbors a wide variety of domestic, synanthropic, and wild animals, as well as disease vectors. To determine the distribution of recorded zoonotic diseases in the Yucatan Peninsula, scientific publications referring to these diseases in animals and containing geographic ...
