4/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 A major finding so far is that #Piper 🍈💨 chemical diversity & presence of some volatile compounds are related to ⬆️🦇 consumption and chemical preferences. Further, the evolution of Piper 🍈💨 main chemicals also fits models that simulate adaptive evolution!

3/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 Doing so requires integrating many kinds of data under modern comparative & statistical frameworks: phylogenies, 🍈💨 chemistry, 🦇 diet, preferences & 👃🧬— all of which our team collected from our focal species👆🏼at La Selva @tropicalstudies 🇨🇷! #NSFfunded

2/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 Few studies have tested coevolution between🦇 & their mutualistic 🌱 (=many research opportunities!). Fruit 🦇 first find🍈 via 👃, so we’re studying if 🦇 frugivory explains evolution of🍈scent & bat👃🧬 in a multispecies system of mutualistic interactions 👇🏼

1/5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 Frugivorous #bats disperse seeds of 100s of plant spp. & have adaptations to find fruit. Evolutionary theory predicts #mutualisms can lead to evolution of fruit traits matching frugivores’ attributes. So, can 🦇 drive the #evolution of 🍈 traits & vice versa?

5 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 The ability to assimilate different carbohydrates, although some 🦇have marked food preferences show the influence of evolutionary history, but also may reflect the expansion and adjustment of Neotropical🦇 diet in response to seasonal 🔀in resource availability

4 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 The ability to assimilate carbohydrates is ➕ closely related to phylogenetic relationships than to dietary preferences. Due to a shared evolutionary history, closely related spp tend to exhibit similar suc and tre assimilation, what brings the enzymes into focus

2 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 We evaluated carbohydrates' assimilation in Neotropical🦇 measuring 🩸 glucose levels using a glucometer after the intake of3️⃣types of sugar present in their food sources: glucose, sucrose and trehalose. Then we evaluate the phylogenetic signal

1 #WBTC2 #EvoBe2 Studying the assimilation of nutrients is essential to understand evolutionary changes in diet within a lineage. Carbohydrates play a crucial role in the transformation of it as a source of energy, what is even more amazing in🦇with its great trophic diversity

The importance of sensory channels 👃👀👂 and spatial memory 🤔 in phyllostomids is reflected in the size of different 🧠 regions. Detailed information on natural history of 🦇 🦇 🦇 could better explain the evolution of 🧠 and its regions. #WBTC1 #EvoBe2

Brain regions related to 👂/👀 are larger in species that eat 🩸🦟🐸 than in other species. Possibly the hearing and visual demands of hunting favored large midbrain regions. Regardless of diet type, neocortex suggests similar cognitive abilities in both groups. #WBTC2 #EvoBe2

Brain regions related to olfaction and memory are larger in species that eat 🌺🍐🍃. Olfaction 👃 and memory 🤔 can be used mostly by herbivorous species to search for food that vary in time and space in the Neotropics. What happens in animalivorous species? 🧐⤵ #WBTC2 #EvoBe2

We obtained volume from 5 brain regions involved in senses 👃👀👂, memory 🤔 and cognition 🤓 for 53 species of phyllostomids. We also quantified body mass and diet. Then, we evaluate the relationship between diet and phylogenetic residuals of 🧠 regions vs. mass. #WBTC2 #EvoBe2
