Structure, Movements and Reproduction in Three Costa Rican Bat Communities: August 26, 1977 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how bats shape tropical forest life in Costa Rica and learn what their movements, diets, and breeding reveal about rainforest ecology.
This study uses mist nets and harp traps across three distinct sites—La Selva, Monteverde, and La Pacifica—to map bat communities, their habitat use, and how climate and vegetation influence their behavior. By capturing, tagging, and releasing thousands of bats, the work examines where different species roam, how they interact with food webs, and how reproductive timing varies with local environments. The findings highlight how study design and habitat differences affect our understanding of bat diversity and movement.
- How researchers measure diversity and niche use across habitats with real data.
- How bat movement and recapture data illuminate activity ranges and habitat preference.
- How reproductive cycles differ among tropical forest types and seasons.
- What methods work best for sampling insectivorous, frugivorous, and nectar-feeding bats in the tropics.
