Fruit bat migration matches green wave in seasonal landscapes

Rayleigh matches and unique green

There are recurrent reports that Rayleigh matches are bimodally distributed in the colour-normal male population. Similar claims have been made for the distribution of the spectral locus of unique green. Moreover, a positive correlation has sometimes been reported between Rayleigh matches and unique green. Using a computer-controlled Maxwellian colorimeter and bias-free psychophysical methods, ...

Deforestation Impacts on Bat Functional Diversity in Tropical Landscapes

Functional diversity is the variability in the functional roles carried out by species within ecosystems. Changes in the environment can affect this component of biodiversity and can, in turn, affect different processes, including some ecosystem services. This study aimed to determine the effect of forest loss on species richness, abundance and functional diversity of Neotropical bats. To this ...

Uncovering the fruit bat bushmeat commodity chain and the true extent of fruit bat hunting in Ghana, West Africa

Harvesting, consumption and trade of bushmeat are important causes of both biodiversity loss and potential zoonotic disease emergence. In order to identify possible ways to mitigate these threats, it is essential to improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which bushmeat gets from the site of capture to the consumer's table. In this paper we highlight the previously unrecognized scale of ...
