1. Does frugivory in Citharexylum solanaceum (Verbenaceae) drive nomadism in the Ipanema bat Pygoderma bilabiatum (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)?
ABSTRACT Neotropical bats are recognized as effective seed dispersers, especially of small-seeded pioneer plants during early stages of forest regeneration. There had been few reports on the ecology of the bat Pygoderma bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843), which appears to be mainly frugivorous and to undertake vertical migrations in Brazil. Our analyzes of fecal samp

2. Differences between caves with and without bats in a Brazilian karst habitat
ABSTRACT. Since bats shelter in roosts during their period of diurnal inactivity, the quality and availability of roosts are important aspects of their ecology. Karst areas have great potential for the availability of day roosts, since they form caves, which serve as bat shelters. Here we characterize the caves used by bats in a preserved karst area of South

3. BAT-BORNE RABIES IN LATIN AMERICA
The situation of rabies in America is complex: rabies in dogs has decreased dramatically, but bats are increasingly recognized as natural reservoirs of other rabies variants. Here, bat species known to be rabies-positive with different antigenic variants, are summarized in relation to bat conservation status across Latin America. Rabies virus is widespread i

4. Bats and zoonotic viruses: can we confidently link bats with emerging deadly viruses?
An increasingly asked question is 'can we confidently link bats with emerging viruses?'. No, or not yet, is the qualified answer based on the evidence available. Although more than 200 viruses - some of them deadly zoonotic viruses - have been isolated from or otherwise detected in bats, the supposed connections between bats, bat viruses and human diseases h

5. MORCEGOS (MAMMALIA, CHIROPTERA) DE UMA ÁREA DE CAATINGA DO ESTADO DE SERGIPE: ecologia de comunidade, padrão de atividade e nicho temporal. / BATS (MAMMALIA, CHIROPTERA) AN AREA OF THE STATE OF CAATINGA SERGIPE: community ecology, activity patterns and temporal niche.
A Caatinga é o único bioma exclusivamente brasileiro e estende-se por oito estados do nordeste e um do sudeste, cobrindo 735.000 km2. Apresenta como uma de suas principais características a alta temperatura média anual e evapotranspiração, baixa precipitação, em torno de 240 e 1500 mm, e baixa umidade relativa. A vegetação desse bioma é composta p

6. Ecologia de Chiroptera, em áreas de caatinga, com considerações zoológicas e zoogeográficas sobre a fauna de morcegos dos Estados da Paraíba e Ceará. / Ecology of Chiroptera in Caatinga areas, with considerate zoologiques and zoogeographic about the bat fauny of the states Paraíba and Ceará.
No bioma Caatinga, apesar deste ser o único exclusivamente brasileiro e uma das 37 grandes regiões naturais do mundo ao lado da Amazônia e do Cerrado, bem como apresentar apenas 52,6% de sua cobertura vegetal original devido ao acelerado ritmo de descaracterização e deserficação que acomete a região, a deficiência no conhecimento da diversidade, tax

7. Behavioral evidence for cone-based ultraviolet vision in divergent bat species and implications for its evolution
We investigated the reactions of four bat species from four different lineages to UV light: Hipposideros armiger (Hodgson, 1835) and Scotophilus kuhlii Leach, 1821, which use constant frequency (CF) or frequency modulation (FM) echolocation, respectively; and Rousettus leschenaultii (Desmarest, 1820) and Cynopterus sphinx (Vahl, 1797), cave and tree-roosting

8. Descriptive ecology of bat flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) associated with vampire bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in the cerrado of Central Brazil
We studied the ectoparasitic bat flies of three phyllostomid vampire bat species. Bats were collected monthly from April 2004-March 2005 in caves within the Cafuringa Environmental Protection Area in the Federal District of Brazil. A total of 1,259 specimens from six species in the Streblidae family were collected from 332 bats. High host affinity from the s

9. Pneumocystis diversity as a phylogeographic tool
Parasites are increasingly used to complement the evolutionary and ecological adaptation history of their hosts. Pneumocystis pathogenic fungi, which are transmitted from host-to-host via an airborne route, have been shown to constitute genuine host markers of evolution. These parasites can also provide valuable information about their host ecology. Here, we

10. Interações entre o morcego Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) e plantas da família Solanaceae / Interactions between the bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) and plants of the family Solanaceae
Bats have a high ecological importance in the Neotropics for they are highly diverse, very abundant and interact with many plant and animal species. Phyllostomid bats of the subfamily Stenodermatinae are specialized frugivores and important seed dispersers, and Sturnira lilium prefers fruits of the Solanaceae, a family of high ecological and economical value

11. Morcegos (Mammalia, Chiroptera) da região de Ponta Grossa, Campos Gerais, Paraná, Brasil
A study of the bat species present in Ponta Grossa, in the area of Campos Gerais in Paraná state was made with the objectives of learning their basic ecologic aspects (diet, reproduction, time of activity, taxocenosis structure) and comparing them to the species present in the different phytoecologic areas of this state. Collections were carried out in four

12. Auditory sensitivity of Hawaiian moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and selective predation by the Hawaiian hoary bat (Chiroptera: Lasiurus cinereus semotus).
The islands of Hawai'i offer a unique opportunity for studying the auditory ecology of moths and bats since this habitat has a single species of bat, the Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), which exerts the entire predatory selection pressure on the ears of sympatric moths. I compared the moth wings discarded by foraging bats with the number of s
