Resumen:
We report the first records of use of tents by the big fruit-eating bat
Artibeus lituratus in palm fronds of Sabal mexicana. We found 1-10 A.
lituratus in three modified palm fronds. Architecture of tents
corresponds to an umbrella tent. Individuals of A. lituratus could use
tents as alternative roosts and they may display opportunistic behavior
in use of tents.
