Abstract
Abstract
In this study, we report for the first time the use of the American oil palm (Elaeis oleifera) as roost by the Neotropical Pacific tent-making bat (Uroderma convexum). Palms with tent roosts consisting of modified leaves were found within the semi-deciduous lowland rainforest in Panama. We present detailed information on a new style of leaf modifications and compare these to tent architectures in other palm species used by U. convexum.

Abstract
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.
