Background Diversity patterns result from ecological to evolutionary processes operating at
different spatial and temporal scales. Species trait variation determine the spatial scales at …

Em decorrência de sua visão adaptada apenas à luz do dia, os humanos primitivos
desenvolveram um temor e um respeito atávicos pelas trevas noturnas, extensivos aos …

Bats feature prominently among organisms that occupy the aerosphere as they extensively
use this environment for foraging, but also for dispersal, migration, and behavioral …

Recent studies predict a future decrease in precipitation across the tropics, particularly the
Amazon, likely causing significant droughts that have negative consequences for …

In tropical rainforests environmental conditions vary dramatically from the ground to the
canopy, resulting in a marked stratification in the way vertical space is used by organisms …

Foraging distance is a key determinant of colony survival and pollination potential in
bumblebees Bombus spp. However this aspect of bumblebee ecology is poorly understood …

Bats use echolocation to exploit a variety of habitats and food types. Much research has
documented how frequency–time features of echolocation calls are adapted to acoustic …

Nightly movements of bats have been described for only a handful of species around the
world. The lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) is a migratory pollinator …

Certain ecological traits of bats may be associated with sensitivity to the fragmentation of
their habitat, but the relative importance of this is unclear and has been poorly studied in …

We studied patterns in the use of space for foraging and roosting by two frugivorous bat
species in a five-year-old restored Atlantic forest located in a fragmented landscape in …
