Some species of Neotropical bats of the family Phyllostomidae (leaf‐nosed bats) modify the leaves of plants to construct ‘tents’ for daytime roosts. However, little is known about which bat species are associated with this behaviour. Here, I present the first description of the use of two tents by Recife Broad‐nosed Bat, Platyrrhinus recifinus, constructed in leaves of Miconia brunnea in a degraded Brazilian Atlantic forest fragment. Both structures had the architectural style of tents‐boat/apical. The shape of the leaves may mediate the architecture of these tents. In addition, they observed that only one male attended the two tents during the same night. This description provides new insights into the biology and behaviour of Platyrrhinus species. I further highlight several unknown for most tent‐making bats that merit future research.

桔梗使用的帐篷的最初描述

yl科的一些新热带蝙蝠（叶鼻蝙蝠）对植物的叶子进行了修饰，以为白天栖息的地方搭建“帐篷”。但是，对于哪种蝙蝠种类与这种行为有关的了解很少。在这里，我对累西腓阔鼻蝙蝠Platyrrhinus recifinus使用两个帐篷的第一个描述，该蝙蝠是在巴西退化的大西洋森林片段中的Miconia brunnea的叶子中建造的。两种结构都具有帐篷-船/顶的建筑风格。叶子的形状可以调节这些帐篷的结构。此外，他们观察到在同一晚只有一名男性参加了两个帐篷。此描述提供了对侧柏的生物学和行为的新见解物种。我进一步强调了一些尚需进一步研究的帐篷制成蝙蝠的未知数。
