Gut reaction! Neotropical nectar-feeding bats responses to direct and indirect costs of extreme environmental temperatures

One of the consequences of anthropogenic climate change is an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. These events have caused mass mortality of different species of wildlife, including bats. In this study, we exposed two species of neotropical nectar-feeding bats that live in contrasting environmental conditions (A. geoffroyi and L. yerbabuenae) to extreme high and low temperatures while offering them diets with...
