Description
Fruit-eating bats play important roles in maintaining ecosystem health by contributing to seed dispersal and pollination. The current research aims to provide fundamental knowledge on the ecology and behaviour of the Queensland tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene robinsoni). A field-based study investigated genetic variation across the currently known distribution range, and described habitat use, roosting ecology, foraging behaviour and dietary spectrum to evaluate the species' role as a seed disperser. Research outcomes contribute to a better understanding of the poorly understood group of Tube-nosed fruit bats, and findings can serve to support their conservation and species management.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
