TENT USE BY Artibeus AND Uroderma (CHIROPTERA,PHYLLOSTOMIDAE) IN NORTHERN COLOMBIA

During day roosts surveys for bats in the Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona, northern Colombia, we found occupied tents made of leaves of the palm species Sabal mauritiiformis and Cocos nucifera. We…

Roosting ecology and the evolution of bat landing maneuvers

It is discovered that bats perform stereotyped maneuvers that are correlated with landing performance quantified as impact force, and that these are linked with roosting ecology, a critical aspect of bat biology.

The Influence of Sex and Reproductive Status on Foraging Behavior and Seed Dispersal by Uroderma convexum (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)

Social organization, sex, and reproductive status appear to influence the outcomes of foraging behavior and seed dispersal of the bats.

Ecological Determinants of Social Systems: Perspectives on the Functional Role of Roosting Ecology in the Social Behavior of Tent-Roosting Bats

New architecture of leaf-tents in American oil palms (Elaeis oleifera) used by Pacific tent-making bat (Uroderma convexum) in Panama

Abstract In this study, we report for the first time the use of the American oil palm (Elaeis oleifera) as roost by the Neotropical Pacific tent-making bat (Uroderma convexum). Palms with tent roosts…

Ecology of Cavity and Foliage Roosting Bats

Bats occupy a wide variety of roosts in both natural and manmade structures. More than half of the approximately 1,100 species of living bats use plants exclusively or opportunistically as roosts.…
