fruit bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) and the many threats they face from humans, negative …

Morphological diversity may arise rapidly as a result of adaptation to novel ecological
opportunities, but early bursts of trait evolution are rarely observed. Rather, models of …

How are ecological systems assembled? Identifying common structural patterns within
complex networks of interacting species has been a major challenge in ecology, but …

Diet has been linked to the diversification of the bat superfamily Noctilionoidea, a group that
underwent an impressive ecological diversification within Mammalia. For decades, studies …

Adaptive radiations are bursts in biodiversity that generate new evolutionary lineages and
phenotypes. However, because they typically occur over millions of years, it is unclear how …

Mutualistic interactions are biologically important, diverse and poorly understood.
Comprehending these interactions and the effectiveness of the mutualistic partners has …

Relatively little is known about folivory in bats, which is considered an occasional item in the
diet of phyllostomids. Here we provide evidence on the consumption of leaves by Carollia …
