Dinámica espacio-temporal de ensambles de murciélagos frugívoros en respuesta a la disponibilidad de frutos en selvas medianas

Toribio-Hernández, Edgar

The availability of fruits and consumption of fruits by bats in semievergreenforest remnants in central Veracruz, Mexico, were studied. To do this goal, five fragments were sampled bimonthly from March 2009 to May 2010. Was it found a relationship between availability and consumption of fruits with the abundance of bats. The results allowed verifying the marked determinism of these ensembles by the resources used. Finally, the contribution is the one to discuss these issues with this group in semi-evergreen forests.
