Variability in size of groups in communal roosts: influence of age-class, abundance of individuals and roosting site
(Csiro Publishing, 2013-06)
Many birds use communal roosts, but how they use them is generally poorly known. For conservation purposes, and to better understand communal roosting behaviour, it is important to know which factors produce variability ...
Understory bat roosts, availability and occupation patterns in a Neotropical rainforest of Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2016)
Vocal behavior and the use of social information during roost finding
(2022-07-26)
When selecting feeding, hiding, or resting areas, animals face multiple
decisions with different fitness consequences. To maximize efficiency,
individuals can either collect personal information, or use information
gathered ...
Cliffs Used as Communal Roosts by Andean Condors Protect the Birds from Weather and Predators
(Public Library Science, 2013-06-24)
The quality and availability of resources influence the geographical distribution of species. Social species need safe places to rest, meet, exchange information and obtain thermoregulatory benefits, but those places may ...
Population of hematophagous bats in the Andradina region, São Paulo: Roost and control characterization
(2018-06-12)
The present study quantified Desmodus rotundus population and characterized their roosts in the Andradina microregion, Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2010 and 2012, determining the effect of bat control measures on roost numbers ...
Ecological Networks between Tent-Roosting Bats (Phyllostomidae: Stenodermatinae) and the Plants Used in a Neotropical Rainforest
(2018)
Roost ecology in bats is a complex interaction of behavioral, morphological and physiological adaptations, thus, there are many factors involved in roost selection by bat species. Approximately 22 species of bats are able ...
Understory bat roosts, availability and occupation patterns in a Neotropical rainforest of Costa Rica
(Revista de Biología Tropical, 2016-07-03)
The strong link between bats and their roosts is widely recognized as being particularly significant. Despite this, roosting ecology of bats is poorly understood and much of the basic information is still unknown. In this ...
Ecologia de Phimosus infsuscatus (Aves: Threskiornithidae) no litoral de Santa Catarina, Brasil
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERNCâmpus São Carlos, 2018-03-16)
Phimosus infuscatus is a bird of gregarious behavior found in South America. Despite its conspicuity, few studies involve the species, so that a large gap exists on its ecology. There is, for example, no in-depth information ...
Cliff outcrops used as condor communal roosts are local hotspots of occupancy and intense use by other bird species
(Elsevier, 2016-08-01)
Cliff outcrops are structural components of the environment that can maintain a large variety of wildlife; however, they are still rather overlooked in conservation planning. We evaluate whether cliffs used by the Andean ...
