Variation in echolocation call frequencies in two species of free-tailed bats according to temperature and humidity
(2017)
Bats can actively adjust their echolocation signals to specific habitats and tasks, yet it is not known if bats also modify their calls to decrease atmospheric attenuation. Here the authors test the hypothesis that individuals ...
The importance of group vocal behaviour in roost finding
(2018)
Individuals benefit from socially acquired information to avoid predation risks and enhance foraging efficiency. Spix's disc-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor, form very stable social groups despite their need to find a new ...
Can the location of the isolation laboratory affect the generation of myxomycete data using moist chambers? An experiment in the Neotropics
(2021-03-11)
The moist chamber technique, as it is used in myxomycete research, is an extremely useful method to optimize project resources. However, as it occurs with any laboratory-based protocol, the usefulness of this technique ...
Occurrence of pharmaceuticals, hazard assessment and ecotoxicological evaluation of wastewater treatment plants in Costa Rica
(2020)
The continuous release of pharmaceuticals from WWTP effluents to freshwater is a matter of concern, due to their potential effects on non-target organisms. The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in WWTPs and their associated ...
Behavioural responses of reptiles to visitors of protected areas in Costa Rica
(2016)
Tourists can have a strong impact on the behaviour of wild animals, modifying
foraging strategies, diet and habitat use, increasing stress, and altering communication
and escaping behaviour. Such behavioural changes have ...
Range overlap and association patterns in the tent-making bat Artibeus watsoni
(2007)
Space use and ranging patterns of individuals have traditionally been used to identify social systems, and the amount of overlap in the home ranges of individuals can provide indirect information about the likelihood of ...

Ornithological Observations in Cocos Island and its Oceanic Waters, Costa Rica (July and September 2020)
(2023)
La avifauna de la Isla del Coco es compleja en su distribución y presencia. Las expediciones de ecoturismo con fines de observación de aves contribuyen a comprender y ampliar el conocimiento, comportamiento, historia natural ...
Comparing the efficiency of monofilament and traditional nets for capturing bats
(2021)
Traditional mist nets used for capturing bats have several drawbacks, particularly that they are inefficient at sampling many insectivorous species. One possible alternative is to use monofilament nets, whose netting is ...
Social communication in bats
(2018)
Bats represent one of the most diverse mammalian orders, not only in terms of species numbers, but also in their ecology and life histories. Many species are known to use ephemeral and/or unpredictable resources that require ...
