Use of space by frugivorous bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a restored Atlantic forest fragment in Brazil

► We studied use of space by two frugivorous bats in a restored Atlantic forest. ► Use of restored areas for foraging was more frequent than predicted by availability. ► Day roosting was restricted to foliage in remnant and restored forest habitats. ► One species roosted closer to restored areas responding to Piper fruit availability. ► Recently restored areas were important habitat for these bats in the landscape.
