My cave, my rules: Specialization, modularity, and topology of bat‐fly interactions in hot and cold caves from eastern South America

Gustavo Lima Urbieta,
Valéria da Cunha Tavares

Abstract: Caves provide relatively stable and advantageous roosting sites for bats compared to more open roosts, like tree foliage. This environment may have the drawback of facilitating interactions with their ectoparasites due to the confined spaces. Understanding the structure of interactions between bats, acting as hosts, and bat flies, serving as parasites in cave ecosystems, is a crucial first step in deciphering the roles of each species (pullers and pushers) within the networks that form in subterranean ecosyste… Show more
