Little yellow-shouldered bat
(Redirected from Sturnira lilium)
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The little yellow-shouldered bat (Sturnira lilium) is a bat species from South and Central America. It is a frugivore and an effective seed disperser.[1][2]
It roosts alone in tree cavities, on branches, vines, and under palm leaves, usually keeping to the same roosts day to day.[3][4] There is evidence to suggest hypothermia is a thermoregulatory strategy to help adjust metabolic levels.[5] Ambient temperature has been noted as a greater influence on mating than food availability.[6] Its wing shape can also be affected by pregnancy in order to make flight more efficient.[7]
