Trophic guild and forest type explain phyllostomid bat abundance variation from human habitat disturbance
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
The loss of tropical forest cover caused by land-use change is causing changes in populations of animal trophic guilds, including those belonging to Phyllostomidae bat species.
They fulfill important ecosystem functions ...
Population dynamics of the bat Dermanura tolteca (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a tropical forest in Mexico
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2010)
Hierarchical fruit selection by Neotropical leaf-nosed bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen PressLawrenceEUA, 2013)
Intense natural selection preceded the invasion of new adaptive zones during the radiation of New World leaf-nosed bats
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12)
The family Phyllostomidae, which evolved in the New World during the last 30 million years, represents one of the largest and most morphologically diverse mammal families. Due to its uniquely diverse functional morphology, ...
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 ...
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 ...
A multiple peak adaptive landscape based on feeding strategies and roosting ecology shaped the evolution of cranial covariance structure and morphological differentiation in phyllostomid bats
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-05)
We explored the evolution of morphological integration in the most noteworthy example of adaptive radiation in mammals, the New World leaf-nosed bats, using a massive dataset and by combining phylogenetic comparative methods ...
Horizontal transfers of Mariner transposons between mammals and insects
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2012-09-26)
Background: Active transposable elements (TEs) can be passed between genomes of different species by horizontal transfer (HT). This may help them to avoid vertical extinction due to elimination by natural selection or ...
