Neotropical frugivorous bats display a trophic structure composed of bat species with dietary
preferences of core plant taxa (Artibeus-Ficus+ Cecropia, Carollia-Piper, Sturnira-Solanum+ …

The seed dispersal cycle forms the basis of vegetation establishment and population
dynamics. Evidence shows varied results for the role of frugivorous bats, where ingestion …

Human-modified landscapes are composed of different types of land covers in differing
proportions (landscape composition), and each with differing spatial physiognomy …

Tree regeneration of late-successional, animal-dispersed and/or timber species in restored
forests is key to the recovery of ecological functions and interactions, as well as ecosystem …

Abstract Background and Aims Much of our understanding of the ecology and evolution of
seed dispersal in the Neotropics is founded on studies involving the animal-dispersed …

In human-modified landscapes, where large bird and mammal species are often functionally
extinct, bats are the main seed dispersers. However, the role of seed dispersal by bats for …

In this study we used a multi-spatial scale approach to investigate habitat suitability, roosting
characteristics, and ecological niche in two flying fox species on the Comoros Islands …

The little yellow-shouldered Mesoamerican bat, Sturnira parvidens Goldman, 1917, is a
medium-sized yellow-shouldered bat with no tail, a vestigial uropatagium, and reddish or …

While many effects of forest fragmentation are reasonably well understood, knowledge of
interspecific interactions in fragmented ecosystems is much more limited, particularly for …

Secondary forests from abandoned shade coffee plantations are commonly found close to
Neotropical cities. These peri-urban forests provide important environmental services; …
