The reproductive biology of the bat Artibeus lituratus was studied. Females were collected monthly at the Estação Florestal de Experimentação Engenheiro Agrônomo Mário Xavier, Itaguaí, R.J. The reproductive status of each female was assessed by the histological examination of the reproductive organs. The results suggest that A. lituratus is polioestrous since lactant females were found to be also pregnant. There are two birth peaks in the year that coincide with the rainy season.
对叶鼻蝠（Artibeus lituratus）的生殖生物学进行了研究。在里约热内卢州伊塔瓜伊市的马里奥· Xavier农艺工程师实验森林站，每月收集雌性叶鼻蝠。通过对生殖器官进行组织学检查来评估每只雌性的生殖状态。结果表明，由于发现哺乳期雌性也处于怀孕状态，所以叶鼻蝠是多周期发情的。一年中有两个产仔高峰，与雨季相吻合。
