Bat Diet Preferences Bats exhibit remarkable dietary diversity, including insectivores, carnivores, herbivores, and frugivores. Some vampire bats feed on the blood of other animals, although this is rare. Their

Bat, any member of the only group of mammals capable of flight. This ability, coupled with the ability to navigate at night by using a system of acoustic orientation (echolocation), has made the bats a highly diverse and populous order. More than 1,200 s

Fast food lowers bacterial diversity Gut dysbiosis is a persistent imbalance of the gut’s microbe community and has been linked to poor health, such as increased susceptibility to illness. Studies in humans have shown that a diet of fast food can cause dysbiosis by reducing the diversity o...
65 found that mandible shape better reflects diet in extant bats than cranial shape. Compared with 191 extant bat taxa (Data S1O and S1P), Vielasia groups in mandibular shape morphospace primarily with insectivorous bat species (Figures 4B and S5B). Vielasia is intermediate in anteroposterior ...

Insectivory is an ancestral form of bat diet (Simmons et al., 2008). Many insectivorous species are generalists over time and space, and often, though not always, consume prey in general proportion to availability within habitats where they forage (Anthony and Kunz, 1977; Brack and LaVal, 19...
