Research in Macaronesia has led to substantial advances in ecology, evolution and
conservation biology. We review the scientific developments achieved in this region, and …

Bats are typically nocturnal. However, daylight activity (ie between one hour after sunrise
and one hour before sunset) is known for a small subset of species, often associated with …

Bats rely on echolocation for operating in dim light or dark conditions. Accordingly, most
research on echolocation is performed under dark conditions with a few exceptions. Bat …

The ghost bat (Macroderma gigas) is a colonial and highly vocal species that is impacted by
human visitation of caves. The ability to document behaviours inside the roost by recording …

Diurnal flight activity in otherwise strictly nocturnal bats has typically been linked to random
disturbance from day roosts, an urgent need to balance food shortage caused by adverse …

Animal species have evolved to enhance their survival by focusing their temporal activity on
specific parts of the diurnal-nocturnal cycle. Various factors, including inter-specific …

Simple Summary Island ecosystems, while hosting a significant proportion of global
biodiversity and unique species, are exceptionally vulnerable. The considerable distances …

We determined species diversity, seasonal reproduction, and echolocation patterns in the
bat community of Bidoup Nui Ba National Park (BNBNP), Lam Dong Province, on the Dalat …

Se presenta la primera observación de consumo diurno de fruto en el murciélago frugívoro
Artibeus lituratus en un bosque húmedo tropical de la República de Panamá. El individuo …

Nocturnal behavior is a critical life-history trait associated with the evolutionary success of
bats. Avian predation, competition with birds, and hyperthermia may explain the origin of this …
