[ectoparasitic flies (diptera: streblidae) of bats (mammalia: chiroptera) from são luís, maranhão, brazil: infestation rates and the host-parasite association].	this study reports the first records of the parasitism rates of the association among ectoparasitic flies of the family streblidae found in phyllostomid bats in the state of maranhão. specimens were collected in patches of secondary forest and borders of mangrove in the village of quebra pote, located in the south portion of the island of são luís. a total of 201 flies of 15 species and eight genera [aspidoptera falcata wenzel, a. phyllostomatis (perty), mastoptera minuta costa lima, megistopoda ...	2009	19943006
patterns of genome size diversity in bats (order chiroptera).	despite being a group of particular interest in considering relationships between genome size and metabolic parameters, bats have not been well studied from this perspective. this study presents new estimates for 121 "microbat" species from 12 families and complements a previous study on members of the family pteropodidae ("megabats"). the results confirm that diversity in genome size in bats is very limited even compared with other mammals, varying approximately 2-fold from 1.63 pg in lophostom ...	2013	24168629
