“…The higher adiposity index observed in S. lilium in the dry season was similar to the increase observed in this parameter in M. molossus during the fall (Barros et al 2013). Increased body fat reserves in the fall also were observed in the common pipistrelle bat (Pipistrellus pipistrellus- Arévalo et al 1990) and Geoffroy's trident leafnosed bat (Asellia tridens- Amichai et al 2013).…”

“…Nevertheless, unlike the observed for insectivorous species (Srivastava and Krishna, 2008), the vampire's food supply (bovine blood) does not vary seasonally. Temperate species, which have been the focus of most studies, show a different pattern of energy storage, with several hibernating species, compared to the nonhibernating neotropicals (McNab, 1976;Arévalo et al, 1990;Bauman, 1990;Kunz et al, 1998;Speakman and Rowland, 1999).…”

“…The highest fat weight per body weight found in fall might be a result of the greater availability of food during the previous season, summer, resulting in greater energy storage to be used in the subsequent season, when a reduction in food availability is expected (Srivastava and Krishna, 2008). The synthesis of energy reserves is essential to meet energy demand during critical periods (Arévalo et al, 1990). Lipids stored in adipose tissue as triglycerides are the main fuel that can be widely stocked as energy reserves to support food shortage (Gleeson, 2005), and is essential to animals for reproductive investment, an event that requires large energy demands (Kunz et al, 1998;Srivastava and Krishna, 2008).…”

“…Em outros animais, o jejum está associado à dormência (estivação e hibernação) e ocorre como parte de um ritmo sazonal endógeno, que assegura a sobrevivência face a condições ambientais desfavoráveis e à escassez de alimento (Arévolo et al, 1990;Bauman, 1990;Boyer & Barnes, 1999). Nesses animais, também é possível observar ajustes na estrutura e função do intestino e o fluxo regular de nutrientes através do trato gastrintestinal é interrompido por longos intervalos de tempo (Hume et al, 2002;Van Breukelen & Carey, 2002;Cramp & Franklin, 2005).…”
