Interindividual variations in fruit preferences of the yellow-shouldered bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a cafeteria experiment [PDF]

open access: yesmammalia, 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 ...

Re‐weighing the 5% tagging recommendation: assessing the potential impacts of tags on the behaviour and body condition of bats

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.
Impacts of tags on different behaviours and body condition measures of bats. Abstract Considerable advances and breakthroughs in wildlife tracking technology have occurred in recent years, allowing researchers to gain insights into the movements and behaviours of a broad range of animals.

Ganglion-specific splicing of TRPV1 underlies infrared sensation in vampire bats. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) are obligate blood feeders that have evolved specialized systems to suit their sanguinary lifestyle. Chief among such adaptations is the ability to detect infrared radiation as a means of locating hotspots on warm-blooded

Auditory opportunity and visual constraint enabled the evolution of echolocation in bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Substantial evidence now supports the hypothesis that the common ancestor of bats was nocturnal and capable of both powered flight and laryngeal echolocation.

Seasonal variation and host sex affect bat–bat fly interaction networks in the Amazonian savannahs

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 400-416, May 2024.
Our data provide information on the interactions between bats and bat flies in one of the largest portions of Brazilian Amazonian savannah. Here, we demonstrate that environmental variations and host sex can influence the structure of interaction networks formed between bats and their ectoparasitic flies. Abstract Bats are the second‐most diverse group

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Digestion time and intactness of seeds ingested bySturnira lilium(E. Geoffroy, 1810) (Mammalia, Chiroptera)

open access: yesStudies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 2017
Bats are responsible for many ecological services, such as seed dispersal of several plant species, contributing to the processes of succession and forest regeneration. A factor that can interfere with this process is the animal digestion, which can affect germination, altering the patterns of seedling distribution.

Consumo de plantas pioneras por murciélagos frugívoros en una localidad de la orinoquía colombiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
English: Feeding behavior plays a major role as a resource partitioning strategy within assemblages of fruit bats. Although Colombia is one of the most diverse countries in terms of bat diversity, the influence of phenology of consumed resources on bat ...
