Movement ecology as an integrative discipline has advanced associated fields because it
presents not only a conceptual framework for understanding movement principles but also …

New World bats play a significant role in ecosystem functioning and are imperative for
maintaining environmental services. Nevertheless, human-caused environmental changes …

A central issue in ecology is the definition and identification of keystone species, ie species
that are relatively more important than others for maintaining community structure and …

Anthropogenic habitat disturbance is a strong biodiversity change driver that compromises
not only the species persistence but also the ecological interactions in which they are …

In fragmented areas, the persistence of different species depends on their ability to use the
surrounding matrix either as a corridor or as a foraging habitat. We assessed how species …

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 …

Bats play key ecological roles, also hosting many zoonotic pathogens. Neotropical bat
microbiota is still poorly known. We speculate that their dietary habits strongly influence their …

In the present study, I described the organization of a Neotropical bat assemblage, and
tested whether this organization was variable in time. In an Atlantic Forest reserve in …

Urban forests are usually isolated and highly disturbed, however they are important shelters
for tolerant animal species. Their food habits expose the different ecological roles these …

Interactions between fleshy fruited plants and frugivores are crucial for the structuring and
functioning of biotic communities, particularly in tropical forests where both groups are …
