Body mass explains digestive traits in small vespertilionid bats
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021-02-11)
Bats are unique among mammals in that they have evolved the capacity to fly. This has generated strong selective pressure on the morphology and function of their digestive system. Given that in bats intestinal length and ...
Evidencia fotográfica de especies desconocidas de onicóforos (Onychophora: Peripatidae) de Costa Rica
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia (Costa Rica), 2016-12)
Onychophorans are hard to find and identify to species under field conditions.
Currently, there are seven species described from Costa Rica,
and an appropriate taxonomic revision is necessary. However, technology
allows ...
Three New Species and New Records of Dennstaedtia Bernh. from Mesoamerica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2018)
Navarrete & Øllgaard [1] indicated the presence of a “C” group within
Dennstaedtia Bernh. that contains D. obtusifolia (Willd.) T. Moore, which is
the type material of the genus Patania C. Presl and indicated that it ...
Evaluating the macro and micro geographic mechanisms that modulate the coexistence between sympatric Sturnira bat species
(Springer (Alemania), 2023-09-27)
One of the key questions in ecology is to understand the mechanisms that modulate the
coexistence between sympatric species. Climate and habitat perturbation gradients have
been proposed as moderators of species coexistence. ...
Life zone and habitat disturbance do not explain the coexistence in Sturnira bat species
(Springer (Alemania), 2022-06-23)
One of the key questions in ecology is to understand the mechanisms that modulate the coexistence
between syntopic species. Climate and habitat perturbation gradients have been proposed as moderators
of species coexistence. ...
Thermal niche breadth and their relationship with sturnira bat species diversification
(Elsevier (Países Bajos), 2023-10)
The interaction between climatic conditions and the ability of organisms to maintain homeostasis regulates the
distribution of species on the planet. However, its influence on macroevolutionary dynamics is not well ...
Trophic guild and forest type explain phyllostomid bat abundance variation from human habitat disturbance
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (Estados Unidos), 2020-02-16)
The loss of tropical forest cover caused by land-use change is causing a reduction in functional groups, such as trophic guilds. Phyllostomid bats (family Phyllostomidae) are essential in the Neotropics since they occupy ...
Viabilidad poblacional de Alouatta palliata (Primates: Atelidae) y Cebus capucinus (Primates: Cebidae) en el Refugio de Vida Silvestre Privado Nogal, Sarapiquí, Heredia, Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica (Costa Rica), 2012-06-01)
Population viability of Alouatta palliata (Primates: Atelidae) and Cebus capucinus (Primates:
Cebidae) at Refugio de Vida Silvestre Privado Nogal, Sarapiquí, Heredia, Costa Rica. Habitat destruction
may cause wildlife ...
Evidence for vocal diversity during physical interference at the perch in sympatric Carollia species (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae): a key to social organization and species coexistence?
(Oxford Academic (Reino Unido), 2022-02)
Vocal diversity might reflect the social organization and sustain the coexistence of cryptic species in sympatry. To test
the extent to which vocal behaviour separates sympatric, cryptic species of a bat radiation, we ...
