Roosts Used by Sturnira lilium (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in Belize1

摘要: Abstract Between 9 and 22 January 1999, radio-tracking revealed that nine Sturnira lilium (seven females, one lactating, two males) used hollow trees (N = 5), vine tangles 2), or the bases of palm fronds 1) as day roosts near Lamanai in Belize over 43 roost days. The bats roosted hollows four tree species, entrances ranged from 2.0 to 7.9 m above ground. Radio-tagged individuals returned same after day, with exception a subadult female at least three course study. In their roosts, S. were inconspicuous, difficult flush, easily overlooked. usually alone emerged significantly later than without radio tags.
