Flight and echlocation in the ecology and evolution of bats
HT Arita, MB Fenton - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1997 - cell.com
Flight and echolocation are key characters distinguishing most bats from other mammals.

A synthesis of ecological and evolutionary determinants of bat diversity across spatial scales
Background Diversity patterns result from ecological to evolutionary processes operating at
different spatial and temporal scales. Species trait variation determine the spatial scales at …

[LIVRE][B] The bats of Argentina
Bats (Order Chiroptera) are both abundant and rich in species throughout the world. The
order is, after ro-dents, the most speciose, with 17 families, 177 genera, and 925 species …

Habitat selection as a major resource partitioning mechanism between the two sympatric sibling bat species Myotis myotis and Myotis blythii
R Arlettaz - Journal of Animal Ecology, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
1. Ecomorphological studies have described local bat communities as densely‐packed
species assemblages arising from non‐deterministic processes. Together with the …

Phyllostomid bats of lowland Amazonia: effects of habitat alteration on abundance
Habitat fragmentation and conversion are among the human activities that pose the greatest
threat to species persistence and conservation of biodiversity. This is particularly true in the …

Geographical ecology at the community level: perspectives on the diversity of New World bats
The ubiquity of the latitudinal gradient of species richness is well documented at coarse
scales of resolution, but the extent to which the pattern is recapitulated at the level of local …

Habitat selection as a mechanism of resource partitioning in two cryptic bat species Pipistrellus pipistrellus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus
B Nicholls, P A. Racey - Ecography, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Ecomorphological studies of bat communities often reveal the spatial and temporal
coexistence of morphologically similar species, leading to suggestions that these …

Dietary overlap in frugivorous and insectivorous bats from edaphic cerrado habitats of Brazil
Previous studies on size patterns within frugivorous and insectivorous bat guilds from north-
eastern Brazil suggest significant ecological separation of species. Nonetheless, recent …

Resource partitioning in rhinolophoid bats revisited
We assessed the ecomorphological structure of a guild of rhinolophoid bats in a Malaysian
rainforest first described by Heller and von Helversen (1989). These authors found that the …

Rarity in Neotropical bats: correlations with phylogeny, diet, and body mass
HT Arita - Ecological applications, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
Bats are an important component of tropical faunas, both in terms of number of species and
total biomass. Very little information, however, is available on the status and conservation of …
