Shade cacao plantations (Theobroma cacao) and bat conservation in southern Bahia, Brazil (2007, background): “…the diet of C. perspicillata, a bat found in high frequencies in cabrucas regardless of their isolation from natural forests, is composed by the genus Piper (Fleming et al. 1972; Fleming 1991; Thies and Kalko 2004), which is one of the most abundant herbaceous plants growing under the cacao shrubs.”
Trophic structure in a large assemblage of phyllostomid bats in Panama (2004, methodology): “Part of the data on Piper are based on Thies (1998) and Thies and Kalko (2004).”
Phyllostomid Bats of Lowland Amazonia: Effects of Habitat Alteration on Abundance (2007, background): “First, fruit productivity may differ with the relative position of plants within a habitat matrix (Thies & Kalko 2004).”
Diet and Abundance of the Bat Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera) in a Brazilian Montane Atlantic Forest (2008, background): “The relationship between S. lilium and the Solanaceae seems to be as strong as is the case for other highly specialized bat–plant systems, that is, Carollia castanea and Piperaceae (Thies and Kalko 2004).”
Artificial light puts ecosystem services of frugivorous bats at risk (2014, background): “Further, if a Piper infructescence is not harvested during the first night after ripening, it may not be removed and may fall to the ground (Thies & Kalko 2004).”
Agroforestry systems conserve species-rich but modified assemblages of tropical birds and bats (2007, background): “In addition, some of the native tree species that have regenerated naturally within the agroforestry systems—such as Hamelia patens, Cecropia obtusifolia, and species of Ficus and Piper—are known to provide key resources to frugivorous species (Fleming 1991; Carlo et al. 2004; Thies and Kalko 2004).”
