Movement ecology of the carnivorous woolly false vampire bat (Chrotopterus auritus) in southern Mexico

Deforestation is a critical threat to bats. The woolly false vampire bat Chrotopterus auritus is a carnivorous bat that is both an indicator species for well-conserved forests and a threatened species in Mexico and other countries due to deforestation. We currently lack the information needed to assess the effects of forest fragmentation and destruction on their populations and to develop plans for their conservation. We used GPS loggers to study the movement patterns of C . auritus in southern Mexico. We observed 72 foraging nights by GPS-tagging 10 individuals from two colonies on 32 occasions in a highly disturbed heterogeneous landscape with extensive deforestation (Hormiguero), and in a more homogeneous, well-preserved forested landscape (Monterrey). Tracked false vampire bats averaged a home range of 108.24 ha, a core foraging area of 3.78 ha and average maximum flight distances of 2.06 km. The bats ranged farther and flew significantly longer distances in Hormiguero than in Monterrey, with males flying longer and more variable distances. They used the well-preserved semi-deciduous forest more often than secondary forest and agricultural fields for traveling and foraging, but the bats occasionally moved and hunted along the borders of secondary forest and agricultural fields adjacent to semi-deciduous conserved forest areas. Although this carnivorous bat might cope with some fragmentation, we suggest that large well-preserved forested areas are highly important for its conservation.

“…Acosta y Lara (1951) reported predation on Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1766); Bordignon 2005 reported the predation of Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Peropterix macrotis (Wagner, 1843) in a cave. Nogueira et al 2006 also reported predation of C. perspicillata , which was found partially eaten in a mist net.…”

The Wooly False Vampire Bat, Chrotopterus auritus (Peters, 1856) (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), feeds on small mammals, birds, lizards, frogs and occasionally large insects and fruits. In this paper we report an additional evidence of bat predation by C. auritus. A male of this species was captured with a partially eaten Broad-eared Free-tailed Bat, Nyctinomops laticaudatus (É. Geoffroy, 1805) (Chiroptera: Molossidae). This record was obtained during a research project conducted in the Biological Reserve of Sooretama, Southeastern Brazil.

“…Small bats throughout the world fall prey mainly to vertebrates, such as mammals, birds, snakes, amphibians, and pet animals (BORDIGNON, 2005;KAŇUCH;BALÁŽ, 2005;LEFEVRE, 2005;ESBERARD et al, 2006;ESBERARD;VRCIBRADIC, 2007;CASTRO et al, 2011;KHLAFALLA;IUDICA, 2012;ANCILLOTTO et al, 2013;GARRIDO-GARCÍA et al, 2013), however they are also attacked by invertebrates such as large arthropods (MOLINARI et al, 2005;NYFFELER;KNÖRNSCHILD, 2013).…”

Morcegos em teias da aranha-gigante Nephilingis cruentata (Fabricius, 1775) (Araneae: Nephilidae) no Brasil. Em todo o mundo morcegos são vítimas principalmente de vertebrados, mas também são atacados por invertebrados. Relatamos aqui dois casos de morcegos enredados em teias da aranha-gigante Nephilingis cruentata, no sudeste do Brasil. No primeiro, ocorrido em dezembro de 2012, uma fêmea de Eptesicus diminutus foi encontrada morta, e no segundo, ocorrido em março de 2013, um macho de Tadarida brasiliensis foi retirado vivo da teia e liberado. Os animais não apresentavam marcas de predação e ambos os eventos foram registrados após fortes chuvas. Suspeita-se que os morcegos podem ter se emaranharado nas teias quando buscavam abrigo da chuva ou caçavam insetos. Mesmo que esses morcegos não tenham sido predados, esta espécie de aranha não deve ser descartada como um predador oportunista de pequenos morcegos, como observado em outras regiões fora do Brasil.
