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 ...
Roosting Ecology of the Tent-Roosting Bat Artibeus watsoni (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in Southwestern Costa Rica
(2005-11)
We described the plants used as roost resources by Artibeus watsoni in southwestern Costa Rica, assessed roost fidelity, and compared roosting ecology between two sites, Golfito and Corcovado, which vary in the degree of ...
Ecological Correlates of Roost Fidelity in the Tent-Making Bat Artibeus watsoni
(2007-05)
Roost switching is a common occurrence in bats, yet the causes and consequences of such behavior are poorly understood. In this study we explore the ecological correlates of roost fidelity in the tent‐making bat Artibeus ...
Ecological Correlates of Range Size in the Tent-Making Bat Artibeus watsoni
(2007-04)
We examined variation in foraging- and roosting-range size in the tent-making bat Artibeus watsoni. We radiotracked 42 individuals at 2 sites in the Golfito Wildlife Refuge and 6 sites at Corcovado National Park, southwestern ...
Response of a Specialist Bat to the Loss of a Critical Resource
(2011-12)
Human activities have negatively impacted many species, particularly those with unique traits that restrict their use of resources and conditions to specific habitats. Unfortunately, few studies have been able to isolate ...
All-offspring natal philopatry in a Neotropical bat
(2011-11)
Natal dispersal is a strategy employed by individuals to avoid reproducing with close relatives. In most
bats, incestuous matings are prevented by the departure of one sex; thus, all-offspring philopatry has
rarely been ...
