“…per infested bat. The highest mean intensities were observed for P. longipes parasitising A. geoffroyi, which had not been recorded before in taxonomic inventories or in infestation analyses (Azevedo and Linardi, 2002;Komeno and Linhares, 1999;Bertola et al, 2005;Rui and Graciolli, 2005;Graciolli et al, 2006b;Graciolli and Aguiar, 2002;Dias et al, 2009;Silva and Ortêncio-Filho, 2011). The mean abundance calculated in the present study was higher than the values observed by Komeno and Linhares (1999) in the state of Minas Gerais (1.4) and by Bertola et al (2005) in the state of São Paulo (1.24).…”

“…Sampling effort is one of the criteria used to compare richness between localities, but in these studies on ectoparasitic flies it is remarkable that those differences depend more on other characteristics inherent to each physiognomy and on the host-species than on sampling effort. All species found in IZMA were already recorded for Brazil in different regions such as the Mid-Western (Graciolli and Aguiar, 2002;Graciolli et al, 2006a), southern (Rui and Graciolli, 2005;Graciolli and Bianconi, 2007;Silva and Ortêncio-Filho, 2011) and northeast of the country Dias et al, 2009). Among the nine streblid species recorded in the present study, just P. longipes was not even recorded in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil (Azevedo and Linardi, 2002;Bertola et al, 2005;Graciolli et al, 2006b).…”

We studied infestation rates and parasite-host associations between streblid flies and phyllostomid bats in an Atlantic Forest area of Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil. We captured 301 individuals from seven Phyllostomidae bat species. Out of that total, 69 bats had been parasitised by nine Streblidae species; the most frequent species were Trichobius joblingi and Trichobius tiptoni. The species Paraeuctenodes longipes, associated with Anoura geoffroyi, was the most frequent species. The highest mean intensity was observed for Paraeuctenodes longipes, associated with A. geoffroyi, and Paratrichobius longicrus associated with Artibeus lituratus, both ectoparasite species with a mean intensity of five individuals per bat. Trichobius joblingi exhibited the highest mean abundance, which was over three on its host species. Streblid richness in the study area was similar to the richness found in other studies carried out in the Atlantic Forest. We observed that streblid richness in this biome depends more on inherent characteristics of each physiognomy and on the host-species than on the sampling effort.

“…The survey conducted at Chapada do Abanador presents a rich fauna of bat ectoparasites (14 bat fly species and nine mites) when compared to other works carried out in low Atlantic Forest areas in southern and southeastern Brazil , Rui and Graciolli, 2005, Camilotti et al 2010, Almeida et al 2011, Silva and Ortêncio Filho 2011. These studies recorded at least four bat fly species, with emphasis to the work by Almeida et al (2011) who sampled 10 bat fly species and 11 mites.…”

A total of 71 bat flies belonging to families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae, and 37 mites were collected on 12 species of bats (Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae) from the Chapada do Abanador (Minas Gerais, Brazil), between July 2009 and April 2010. Two new occurrences of ectoparasites were recorded on Histiotus velatus (bat fly Basilia producta) and on Carollia perspicillata (mite Parichoronyssus bakeri). Five new occurrences were recorded for the state of Minas Gerais, increasing the range for bat flies Anatrichobius passosi, Paraeuctenodes similis, Basilia juquiensis, Basilia producta and for mite Periglischrus vargasi. Moreover, two new species of mites were recorded for Brazil (P. bakeri and Macronyssus aff. leislerianus). With regard to infracommunities, the most frequent association was between Anastrebla modestini and Exastinion clovisi on bat Anoura geoffroyi. This study contributed to characterize the fauna of bat ectoparasites in representative but poorly-sampled environments of the Atlantic Forest, the campos de altitude (high altitude grasslands) and cloud forests of southern Minas Gerais.

Aim Determine the relative influence of geographical distance, environmental differences, and host species composition on the similarity of bat fly species composition. Location Neotropics. Taxon Bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) and bat flies (Diptera: Streblidae). Methods Abundance data on bats and ectoparasites were obtained from published studies. The relative influences of environmental variation (annual precipitation, temperature seasonality, elevation, and NDVI), host species composition, and geographic distance on parasite community composition were analysed with Generalized Dissimilarity Modelling and variance partitioning. Additionally, we evaluated the influence of these environmental variables and geographic distance on host species composition. Results Our model explains 45.3% of the variance in the dissimilarity of bat fly species. Host species composition had the most significant influence on bat fly species composition across communities, followed by environmental effects. Variance partitioning showed that host species composition explained 14.9% and environmental characteristics explained 10.3% of the variance in bat fly species dissimilarity. Geographical distance alone had a negligible effect as it accounted for only 0.007% of the variance in bat fly species composition. Host species composition was mainly influenced by geographic distance (18.0%) and secondarily by environmental variables (9.8%). The most important environmental variables influencing parasite and host species composition were annual precipitation and temperature seasonality, respectively. Main Conclusions The lack of relationship between geographical distance and bat fly species composition may reflect either the high mobility or the high dispersal capacity of bat flies, or a combination of these. Alternatively, it could reflect a taxonomic artefact. Environmental differences seem to directly affect bat flies, as opposed to affecting them indirectly through their impact on the hosts. Our results support the fundamental role that host species composition plays in determining the species composition of highly host‐specific parasites. However, we argue that host specificity is not the only trait impacting ectoparasite species composition.
