| [isolation of rabies virus in artibeus fimbriatus bat in the state of sao paulo, brazil]. | this is the first report of the isolation and identification of the rabies virus in the frugivorous bat artibeus fimbriatus in the city of sao josé do rio preto, sao paulo state, brazil. the virus was isolated from an animal found in an urban area. the animal was found on the ground under a tree, still alive. diagnosis was made by direct immunofluorescence and intracerebral inoculation of mice. | 2005 | 16113922 |
| atlantic bats: a dataset of bat communities from the atlantic forests of south america. | bats are the second most diverse mammal order and they provide vital ecosystem functions (e.g., pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient flux in caves) and services (e.g., crop pest suppression). bats are also important vectors of infectious diseases, harboring more than 100 different virus types. in the present study, we compiled information on bat communities from the atlantic forests of south america, a species-rich biome that are highly threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. atlantic ... | 2017 | 28875505 |
| cytotaxonomy of the subgenus artibeus (phyllostomidae, chiroptera) by characterization of species-specific markers. | the genus artibeus represents a highly diverse group of bats from the neotropical region, with four large species occurring in brazil. in this paper, a comparative cytogenetic study was carried out on the species artibeus obscurus schinz, 1821, artibeus fimbriatus gray, 1838, artibeus lituratus olfers, 1818 and artibeus planirostris spix, 1823 that live sympatrically in the northeast of brazil, through c-banding, silver staining and dna-specific fluorochromes (cma3 and dapi). all the species had ... | 2012 | 24260649 |
| species richness and abundance of bats in fragments of the stational semidecidual forest, upper paraná river, southern brazil. | the upper paraná river floodplain is inserted in a region of the mata atlântica biome, which is a critical area to preserve. due to the scarcity of researches about the chiropterofauna in this region, the present study investigated species richness and abundance of bats in remnants from the stational semidecidual forest of the upper paraná river, southern brazil. samplings were taken every month, from january to december 2006, using 32 mist nets with 8.0 x 2.5 m, resulting in 640 m2/h and totali ... | 2009 | 19738978 |
| bats (mammalia: chiroptera) in native and reforested areas in rancho alegre, paraná, brazil. | abstract: generally, natural environments have been transformed into small forest remnants, with the consequent habitat loss and species extinction. the north paraná state is not an exception, since only 2 to 4% of the original ecosystem occurs in small fragments of stational semidecidual forest. we studied the species richness and abundance of bats in two forest fragments from the fazenda congonhas, in rancho alegre city, parana state, brazil. four samplings were undertaken in a legally protect ... | 2010 | 21246993 |
