Sturnira

	Sturnira ''Sturnira'' known as a yellow-shouldered bat or American epauleted bat, is a genus of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. The genus name comes from the Latin for "starling" and refers to , which took part in an 1836 voyage to Brazil during which the type specimen was collected. It contains the following species: * Angel's yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira angeli'' * Aratathomas's yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira aratathomasi'' * Baker's yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira bakeri'' * Bidentate yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira bidens'' * Bogotá yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira bogotensis'' * Burton's yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira burtonlimi'' * Hairy yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira erythromos'' * Gianna's yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira giannae'' * Choco yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira hondurensis'' * ''Sturnira koopmanhilli'' * Little yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira lilium'' * Highland yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira ludovici'' * Louis's yellow-shouldered ...

	Little Yellow-shouldered Bat The little yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira lilium'') is a bat species from South and Central America. It is a frugivore A frugivore is an animal that thrives mostly on raw fruits or succulent fruit-like produce of plants such as roots, shoots, nuts and seeds. Approximately 20% of mammalian herbivores eat fruit. Frugivores are highly dependent on the abundance an ... and an effective seed disperser. It roosts alone in tree cavities, on branches, vines, and under palm leaves, usually keeping to the same roosts day to day. There is evidence to suggest hypothermia is a thermoregulatory strategy to help adjust metabolic levels. Ambient temperature has been noted as a greater influence on mating than food availability. Its wing shape can also be affected by pregnancy in order to make flight more efficient.

	Bogotá Yellow-shouldered Bat The Bogotá yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira bogotensis'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela at altitudes from 300 m to above 2000 m, particularly in cloud forest. The species is primarily frugivorous; it may also consume nectar and pollen. Taxonomy The Bogotá yellow-shouldered bat was first described in 1927 by American mammalogist H. Harold Shamel, who named it as a subspecies of the Little yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira lilium bogotensis''. The holotype had been collected in Bogotá, Colombia. Within its genus, it forms a clade (shares a common ancestor) with the following species: the hairy yellow-shouldered bat (''S. erythromos''), '' S. hondurensis'', '' S. koopmanhilli'', the highland yellow-shouldered bat (''S. ludovici''), the greater yellow-shouldered bat (''S. magna''), the Talamancan yellow-shouldered bat (''S. mordax''), Tschudi's yellow-shouldered bat (''S. oporaphilum''), '' S. per ...

	Northern Yellow-shouldered Bat ''Sturnira parvidens'' is a species of leaf-nosed bat found in Central America. Taxonomy It was described as a subspecies of the little yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira lilium'') in 1917 by American zoologist Edward Alphonso Goldman and given the trinomen ''S. lilium parvidens''. The holotype had been collected in 1903 by Goldman and Edward William Nelson at "Papayo", given as northwest of Acapulco, Mexico. The species name "''parvidens''" derives from Latin ''parvus'', meaning "small", and ''dens'', meaning "tooth". The little yellow-shouldered bat has been recognized as a species complex In biology, a species complex is a group of closely related organisms that are so similar in appearance and other features that the boundaries between them are often unclear. The taxa in the complex may be able to hybridize readily with each oth ..., and some authors have considered ''S. parvidens'' as a separate species since 2000. In 2013, a genetic study further supported that it shoul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Lesser Yellow-shouldered Bat The lesser yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira nana'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is native to Peru and Ecuador. It is threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy and etymology It was described in 1971, based on a specimen that had been collected in 1970. It is a member of the yellow-shouldered bats. Its lineage is basal to the other members of its genus, with the exception of the bidentate yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira bidens''. The basal ''Sturnira'' lineages (''S. nana'', ''S. bidens'', and ''S. aratathomasi'') began to diverge from other members of the genus during the Late Miocene (5.2–8.1 million years ago). It was initially placed in the subgenus ''Corvira'', though this taxonomic rank is now viewed as synonymous to ''Sturnira''. Its species name ''nana'' is likely derived from Latin word nāna, meaning "dwarf." It is the smallest member of its genus–a fact that is referenced several times in its initial description.

	Angel's Yellow-shouldered Bat ''Sturnira angeli'', also known as the Guadeloupe yellow-shouldered bat or Angel's yellow-shouldered bat, is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is endemic to the Lesser Antilles. As of 2018 it is listed as near threatened by the IUCN. Taxonomy The species was previously recognized as a subspecies of ''S. lilium''. However, it has now been elevated to a species rank. Description The bat is uniformly grayish-brown, lacking the 'yellow-shoulder' trait of its family. Its forearm length is . Biology The species is frugivorous. Distribution and habitat The species is found in the Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe (; ; gcf, label=Antillean Creole, Gwadloup, ) is an archipelago and overseas department and region of France in the Caribbean. It consists of six inhabited islands— Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, La Désirade, and the ... and Montserrat islands in the Lesser Antilles.

	Baker's Yellow-shouldered Bat ''Sturnira bakeri'' is a species of bat found in South-America. Taxonomy ''Sturnira bakeri'' was described as a new species in 2014. Its description was the result of molecular and morphological new analyses. The holotype had been collected in El Oro, which is in western Ecuador. The eponym for the species name "''bakeri''" is the scientist Robert James Baker, for his significant contribution "to the evolution of Neotropical phyllostomids". Range and habitat So far, this species was recorded in three countries of South-America : Ecuador, Peru , image_flag = Flag of Peru.svg , image_coat = Escudo nacional del Perú.svg , other_symbol = Great Seal of the State , other_symbol_type = Seal (emblem), National seal , national_motto = "Fi ... and Colombia.Montoya-Bustamante, S.,
