Abstract

Carollia perspicillata

Behavior

social interactions

Short-tailed fruit bats (Carollia perspicillata), a species of neotropical frugivorous bats native to the humid jungles of Centra and South America, is an excellent model for the study of social communication (Cloutier & Thomas, 1992). Being that these animals roost in both communal and dark environments (Cloutier & Thomas, 1992), they depend largely on vocalizations for social communication (Porter, 1979).
