The threat of invasive species to bats: a review
JN Welch, C Leppanen - Mammal Review, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, but no study has described the
scope of threats to bats (Chiroptera) by invasive species. We reviewed the literature for …

Effects of in situ habitat quality and landscape characteristics in the oil palm agricultural matrix on tropical understory birds, fruit bats and butterflies
B Azhar, CL Puan, N Aziz, M Sainuddin, N Adila… - Biodiversity and …, 2015 - Springer
The expansion of commercial oil palm crop has modified much of the natural landscape,
subsequently leading to biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Aside from large-scale oil palm …

Responses of tropical fruit bats to monoculture and polyculture farming in oil palm smallholdings
The oil palm industry is one of the main economic drivers in Southeast Asia. The industry
has caused tropical deforestation on a massive scale in producing countries, and this forest …

Bats go head-under-heels: the biomechanics of landing on a ceiling
Bats typically roost head-under-heels but they cannot hover in this position, thus, landing on
a ceiling presents a biomechanical challenge. To land, a bat must perform an acrobatic flip …

Ecological determinants of social systems: perspectives on the functional role of roosting ecology in the social behavior of tent-roosting bats
G Chaverri, TH Kunz - Advances in the Study of Behavior, 2010 - Elsevier
In this chapter, we compile ecological and behavioral data on tent-making bats to determine
if the variation in social behavior observed in this group may be explained by any of the …

Morphological and ecological correlates of coexistence in Malaysian fruit bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae)
Niche theory predicts that coexisting species should differ ecologically, morphologically, or
behaviorally in ways that minimize competition. We used an ecomorphological approach to …

Bat pollinators: a decade of monitoring reveals declining visitation rates for some species in Thailand
Bats are important pollinators, but they are difficult to study since they are volant and
nocturnal. Thus, long-term studies of nectarivorous bats are scarce, despite their potential to …
