Abstract: Most natural forests have been converted for human use, restricting biological life to small forest fragments. Many animals, including some species of bats are disappearing and the list of these species grows every day. It seems that the destruction of the habitat is one of its major causes. This study aimed to analyze how this community of bats was made up in environments with different sizes and quality of habitat. Data from studies conducted in the region of Londrina, Parana, Brazil, from 1982 to 2000 were … Show more

“…The most common species in FUrb, A. lituratus, A. planirostris, and Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1766), are generalists that are common throughout Brazilian cities (e.g., Bredt and Uieda 1996; Reis et al 2006;Lima 2008;Oprea et al 2009;Ferreira et al 2010;Reis et al 2012). Their high abundance may indicate the availability of resources for generalists such as roost sites and food sources from both native and exotic plant species (Sazima and Fisher 1994;Bredt and Uieda 1996;Reis et al 2006;Aguiar and Marinho-Filho 2007;Lima 2008;Novaes and Nobre 2009).…”

“…This result implies that the surrounding areas are most likely hostile to the passage of mammals among the habitats. Several authors also have found a similar pattern of species-area relation in natural remnants around the world (e.g., Gascon et al 1999;Chiarello 1999;Reis et al 2012). Cox et al (2003) have found an increase in non-flying mammalian species richness related to an increasing gradient of remnant size in Australia, regardless of the habit (arboreal or ground) of the species.…”

“…The molossids are considered to be the bats that fly at the highest levels, above the forest canopy, and are thus captured in mist-nets only rarely, which contributes to the disproportionately reduced sampling of these species in inventories and the relative lack of biological and even taxonomic data (Marchesin et al, 2008). Besides the reduction of habitats resulting from human activities, which promotes the disappearance of species (Reis et al, 2012).…”
