Unveiling the Hidden Bat Diversity of a Neotropical Montane Forest
(2016-10)
Mountain environments, characterized by high levels of endemism, are at risk of experiencing significant biodiversity loss due to current trends in global warming. While many acknowledge their importance and vulnerability, ...
Contrasting Thermal Strategies of Montane Neotropical Bats at High Elevations
(2018)
In the Neotropics, captive vespertilionid bats substantially reduce their metabolic rate at low ambient temperatures, similar to their temperate counterparts, whereas the ability of phyllostomids to lower metabolic rate ...
Bat Assemblages along an Elevational Gradient in Costa Rica
(2022)
Spatio-temporal patterns of species richness, Hill numbers, captures per species, feeding guilds, sex ratio, and biomass were studied
in a Neotropical bat assemblage during 17 continuous months in four bands (low: 50–150, ...
Sound amplification by means of a horn-like roosting structure in Spix's disc-winged bat
(2013-10)
While sound is a signal modality widely used by many animals, it is very susceptible to attenuation, hampering effective long-distance communication. A strategy to minimize sound attenuation that has been historically used ...
When genes move farther than offspring: gene flow by male gamete dispersal in the highly philopatric bat species Thyroptera tricolor
(2013-11)
For species characterized by philopatry of both sexes, mate selection represents an important behaviour for inbreeding avoidance, yet the implications for gene flow are rarely quantified. Here, we present evidence of male ...
Ontogeny of an interactive call-and-response system in Spix's disc-winged bats
(2020)
We investigated the ontogenetic changes of two call types, the inquiry call and the response call, which comprise an interactive communication system in Spix's disc-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor. We documented structural ...
Efecto de la disponibilidad de refugios en la distribución espacial del murciélago de ventosas, Thyroptera tricolor
(2023)
La disponibilidad de recursos puede influenciar los patrones de uso del espacio y comportamiento de las especies. Para especies especialistas en un recurso, la distribución y abundancia de este puede llevar a la competencia ...
A call-and-response system facilitates group cohesion among disc-winged bats
(2013)
Acoustic signals are important in maintaining group cohesion, particularly in highly mobile species. For these signals to facilitate group cohesion, individuals must be able to recognize, and respond to, calls emitted by ...
Mating System of the Tent-Making Bat Artibeus watsoni (Chiroptera: Phyllostomida
(2008-12)
Vertebrate mating systems are influenced by ecological and phylogenetic factors, and the variation observed in mating behavior is frequently attributable to the extent to which male assistance in the rearing of offspring ...
Social Calls Produced within and near the Roost in Two Species of Tent-Making Bats, Dermanura watsoni and Ectophylla alba
(2013-04)
Social animals regularly face the problem of relocating conspecifics when separated. Communication is one of the most important mechanisms facilitating group formation and cohesion. Known as contact calls, signals exchanged ...
