Abstract

Some phyllostomid bats modify leaves of certain plant species in order to build tents as daytime roosts. Most tent-roosting members of the Artibeus and Dermanura genus have a widespread geographic distribution; nevertheless, there are few reports regarding roost architecture. This is the first report in Mexico of boat/apical tents built by the pygmy fruit-eating bat Dermanura phaeotis.
