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. [2] [3]
It roosts alone in tree cavities, on branches, vines, and under palm leaves, usually keeping to the same roosts day to day. [4] [5] There is evidence to suggest hypothermia is a thermoregulatory strategy to help adjust metabolic levels. [6] Ambient temperature has been noted as a greater influence on mating than food availability. [7] Its wing shape can also be affected by pregnancy in order to make flight more efficient. [8]
