Phyllostomid Bat Assemblage Structure in Amazonian Flooded and Unflooded Forests (2014, background): “…often pioneer species, which tend to have low densities in mature forest and occur in small patches, bats need to travel long distances inside the forest searching for adequate food sources (Bernard & Fenton 2003, Bonaccorso et al. 2007, Henry et al. 2007, Lobova et al. 2009, Marques et al. 2012).”
Long-term monitoring of tropical bats for anthropogenic impact assessment: Gauging the statistical power to detect population change (2010, background): “Moreover, many species fulfill key ecosystem services, particularly in tropical ecosystems, as pollinators, seed dispersers, and control agents of arthropod populations (e.g. Kalka et al., 2008; Kelm et al., 2008; Lobova et al., 2009; von Helversen and Winter, 2003; Williams-Guillén et al., 2008).”
Trees and shrubs as invasive alien species – a global review (2011, background): “Dispersal of alien woody species by vertebrates, mainly by birds and bats, is particularly important in the wet tropical forests (Table 8.1 in Rejmánek, 1996; Lobova et al., 2009).”
