• Fruit detection and discrimination by small fruit-eating bats (Phyllostomidae): echolocation call design and olfaction (2005, background): “For instance, the size of bats feeding on figs (Moraceae) is positively correlated with the mass of ripe fruit taken (Bonaccorso 1979; Kalko et al. 1996b; Wendeln et al. 2000).”
• Small‐Scale Fragmentation Effects on Local Genetic Diversity in Two Phyllostomid Bats with Different Dispersal Abilities in Panama (2009, background): “Fig trees produce large fruit crops but ripen asynchronously and hence constitute an ephemeral and patchily distributed food resource (e.g., Wendeln et al. 2000), necessitating long-distance commutes and large home ranges.”
• Nutritional Ecology of Ateles chamek in lowland Bolivia: How Macronutrient Balancing Influences Food Choices (2009, background): “Figs are extremely rich sources of available calcium (Duhan et al. 1992; O’Brien et al. 1998; Ruby et al. 2000; Silver et al. 2000; Wendeln et al. 2000), which is critical for maintenance and reproduction (Robbins 1993).”
• Diversidade de morcegos (Mammalia, Chiroptera) em remanescentes florestais do município de Fênix, noroeste do Paraná, Brasil (2004, background): “(Cecropiaceae), Piper L. (Piperaceae) e Solanum L.
