“…Solanacea fruits are known food resources for bats (PERACCHI & ALBUQUERQUE 1971, UIEDA & VASCONCELLOS NETO 1985. These fruits have a pulpous placenta and small loculi full of a juicy substance (BARROSO et al 1999); the seeds are small and numerous and can be dispersed by bats (CHARLES-DOMINIQUE 1986).…”

ABSTRACT. The diet, reproduction and activity time of bat species found in Ponta Grossa county, Campos Gerais region, were studied. Collections were conducted in four forest fragments, during 272 hours, on 48 m 2 of nets and roosting sites; the total capture effort was 1.52.10 3 h.m 2 . Eight species (247 individuals) were registered: Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818), Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy, 1810), Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffroy, 1810) (Phyllostomidae); Tadarida brasiliensis (Desmarest, 1819), Eumops auripendulus (Shaw, 1800) (Molossidae); Eptesicus brasiliensis (Shaw, 1800), Myotis nigricans (Schinz, 1821), and Histiotus velatus (I. Geoffroy, 1824) (Vespertilionidae). The Phyllostomidae family was the most frequently captured. Solanaceae, Moraceae, Piperaceae, and Rosaceae were found in the diet of frugivores; six orders of insects and the class Arachnida were found in the diets of insectivores. Pregnant females were found in September and October and lactating ones in November and December. The collection peak was reached in the second hour-and-a-half. Preservation of the regional forested and altered areas is required for survival of the local chiropterofauna.

“…In South America, it is found in a variety of habitats (Gannon et al 1989) and feeds on at least 80 plant species of 20 families, although it shows a preference for Solanaceae, observed in studies based on fecal analysis and direct observation (Uieda and Vasconcellos-Neto 1985, MarinhoFilho 1991, Giannini 1999, Passos et al 2003, Mello et al 2008a, Lobova et al 2009). In general, bats of the subfamily Stenodermatinae (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), specialized frugivores (Rojas et al 2011), are good models to study individual specialization because many species in this group have a broad diet, but the set of items consumed by a given species varies among local populations (Lobova et al 2009).…”

Abstract:In studies on frugivory and seed dispersal, it is frequently assumed that individual frugivores of the same population behave as equivalents. However, there is growing evidence from dietary studies pointing out that, in many natural populations, individuals use different subsets of the total resource pool. As heterogeneity in foraging behavior and food selection may affect the outcome of the seed dispersal process, we tested whether yellow-shouldered bats Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1810), the key neotropical seed dispersers, show interindividual variations in fruit preferences. Thirty individuals were submitted to cafeteria trials in a flight tent, when they were offered fruits of Solanum variabile Mart. (Solanaceae) Cecropia pachystachya Trec. (Urticaceae), and Piper aduncum L. (Piperaceae), which belong to the favorite genera consumed by S. lilium. Although S. variabile had the highest consumption rates on average, there were variations among individuals in the fruits consumed in the second and third places. These findings, together with interindividual differences in foraging areas observed in the same population, may be interpreted as preliminary evidence of individual specialization. As a possible consequence, frugivorous bats of the same population, despite being all legitimate dispersers, may differ in their efficiency.

“…Morcegos são extremamente importantes nos ecossistemas florestais, atuando na polinização, na dispersão de sementes, no controle das populações de insetos (Sazima et al 1982, Taddei 1983, Uieda & Vasconcellos-Neto 1985, Altringham 1998, Garcia et al 2000 e, conseqüentemente, na formação e manutenção destes ecossistemas (Whittaker & Jones 1994, Sipinski & Reis 1995. Além disso, alguns grupos, especificamente filostomídeos, têm sido descritos como potenciais indicadores de áreas perturbadas (Fenton et al 1992, Medellín et al 2000.…”

in all patches, besides been the most abundant in all of them, indicating its high resistance to fragmentation. Two individuals of this species were recaptured in a different area from the one which they had been marked previously. We suggested that the studied areas have significant value for the maintenance of some bats, performing as "stepping stones", uniting populations, as well as fragments.
