“…Besides providing several ecosystem services, bats also support a large biomass of predators, including reptiles (Carvalho et al 2019), birds (Camargo & Laps 2016), and other mammals, including carnivorous bats (Castro et al 2011). Among flying raptors, owls are one of the most important bat predators, including the mottled owl (Strix virgata, Strigiformes, Strigidae), barn owls (Tyto alba, Strigiformes, Tytonidae), and the tawny-bellied screech-owl (Megascops watsonii, Strigiformes, Strigidae ) (Motta-Júnior & Taddei 1992, Vargas et al 2002, Rocha & López-Baucells 2014, Serra-Gonçalves et al 2017.…”
