“…Many zoologists assume-explicitly or implicitly-that trophic-resource partitioning is important for species coexistence, and this conviction has motivated a still-burgeoning literature on Neotropical bat diets and feeding behavior (e.g., Heithaus et al, 1975;Fleming et al, 1977;Bonaccorso, 1979;Bonaccorso and Gush, 1987;Thies et al, 1998;Dumont, 1999;Wendeln et al, 2000;Tschapka, 2004;Kalko, 2004, 2005;Rex et al, 2011;Andrade et al, 2013;Saldaña-Vázquez, 2014). Various trophicguild classifications have been defined on the basis of this research (LaVal and Fitch, 1977;Bonaccorso, 1979;Kalko et al, 1996), and trophic-guild membership is often used to assess Amazonian bat community structure (e.g., by Kalko and Handley, 2001;Lim and Engstrom, 2001;Bernard, 2002;Sampaio et al, 2003;Peters et al, 2006;Willig et al, 2007;Rex et al, 2008;Klingbeil and Willig, 2009;Bobrowiec and Gribel, 2010).…”
