...Ulla M. Lindhe Norberg; York Winter SUMMARY High-speed film analysis showed that the wing beat kinematics in Glossophaga soricina change gradually with increasing flight speed,indicating that there is no sudden gait change at any particular, critical,flight speed. The flight of two adult specimens...

... carbon and nitrogen isotopic discrimination and turnover rates in individuals of Pallas'long-tongued bats Glossophaga soricina fed diets with protein soya isolate or amaranth grains as their main source of protein. Diets were of similar protein biological value but the soya diet had higher nitrogen...

...Christian C. Voigt; Felix Matt SUMMARY We estimated the effect of nitrogen stress on the nitrogen isotope enrichments in wing membrane and blood of two nectar-feeding bats( Glossophaga soricina and Leptonycteris curasoae ) by offering a nitrogen-poor diet with a high δ 15 N andδ 13 C. Before...

... are exchanged in tissues of two species of nectar-feeding bats( Leptonycteris curasoae and Glossophaga soricina ), both of which have relatively high mass-specific metabolic rates. To test the hypothesis that isotope turnover is higher in nectar-feeding bats, because of their high mass-specific metabolic rates...

... of the flight tunnel. Mean (maximum) flight speeds of 11–12 g Glossophaga soricina bats (in m s −1 ) were 4.6 (5.3) over a 7 m and 7.3 (10.5) over a 50 m flight path. (2) The flight speed range adopted by a bat during one night could vary significantly between nights, independently of body mass and the effect...

...York Winter; Christian Voigt; Otto Von Helversen ABSTRACT Glossophagine nectar-feeding bats exploit flowers while hovering in front of them. Aerodynamic theory predicts that power output for hovering flight in Glossophaga soricina is 2.6 times higher than during horizontal flight. We tested...

... have used to estimate the cost of flight in a neotropical nectar-feeding bat Glossophaga soricina (Phyllostomidae), namely the use of kinematic and morphological data and aerodynamic theory to estimate the mechanical power requirements (power output) for hovering and horizontal forward flight. A hot...
