“…The three regions sampled showed low richness and diversity of species compared to other studies carried out in mountainous areas and other close localities (e.g., Esbérard 2007 , Moratelli and Peracchi 2007 , Dias et al 2008 , Esbérard et al 2010 ). This may be due to the low sampling effort employed in the present study, when compared with the aforementioned studies, or even due to the characteristics of the landscape, since most of the previous studies conducted in mountainous regions of Rio de Janeiro were concentrated in areas of continuous forest, which support higher species richness ( Medellín et al 2000 ).…”

“…The state of Rio de Janeiro has one of the best studied bat faunas in Brazil ( Bergallo et al 2003 , Esbérard and Bergallo 2005 , Bernard et al 2010 ). However, the mountainous region (i.e., slopes of Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira) and the northern portion of the state still represent gaps in the knowledge of the bat fauna, and surveys are highly required ( Moratelli and Peracchi 2007 , Modesto et al 2008a , Modesto et al 2008b , Esbérard et al 2010 , Peracchi and Nogueira 2010 ). Here, we present lists of bat species from three previously unsampled localities in the state of Rio de Janeiro (two in mountainous areas and one in the extreme north of the state), with comments on the importance of sampling in different habitats.…”

Bat species richness in Neotropical localities is generally higher than that of any other group of mammals, and surveys of local bat assemblages may provide useful data for conservation management plans. Although the bat fauna of the Rio de Janeiro state is currently one of the best known in Brazil, there are several localities not adequately surveyed yet, and most of them are in the mountainous regions and in the northern portion of the state. From January 2008 to November 2009, we conducted surveys of bats in three localities in the state of Rio de Janeiro (municipalities of Varre-Sai, Sumidouro, and Cantagalo), and our fieldwork constitutes the first assessment of the bat assemblages of these localities. Surveys were conducted using mist nets in four different habitat types in each locality (forest interior, forest edge, riparian forest, and open areas [pastures]). We captured a total of 148 individuals in 17 species, 14 genera and 3 families. Among them, 11 species were recorded in Sumidouro, seven in Cantagalo, and nine in Varre-Sai. Although species richness was low compared with previous surveys in other close localities, we recorded species that have been rarely sampled in Southeastern Brazil (e.g., Macrophyllum macrophyllum [Phyllostomidae]). The results reinforce the importance of sampling different habitats in short surveys to improve the number of species registered.

“…In the Caatinga lower numbers of captured bats than in Neotropical forests and savannas have been reported (e.g. Silva et al 2001Silva et al , 2004Gregorin et al 2008;Zortéa and Alho 2008;Esbérard et al 2010). We believe that these findings reflect a low abundance of bats in the Caatinga which may be related to the scarcity of resources, especially food and water, during the dry Kalko et al (1996): UAI: uncluttered space/aerial insectivore, SAN: highly cluttered space/gleaning sanguivore, NEC: highly cluttered space/gleaning nectarivore, GIN: highly cluttered space/gleaning insectivore, FRU: highly cluttered space/gleaning frugivore, BAI: background cluttered space/aerial insectivore, PIS: highly cluttered space/gleaning piscivore.…”

The Caatinga biome is restricted to Brazil, and its bat fauna is among the least studied in South America, with scarce information on species occurrence, distributions, and structure of assemblages. Moreover, most of the information available on bats from this biome comes from relicts of other ecosystem formations. From 2010 to 2012 we conducted bat surveys in different sites along the Serra da Jitirana, a xerophytic locality in the Caatinga of Piauí state, northeastern Brazil. We recorded 20 species in six families. Representatives of animalivorous guilds predominated in both the number of individuals and species. We speculate that the low numbers of frugivores is a response to the environmental constraints imposed by the drought. Along with an analysis of this assemblage, we also report here new information on roosts, behavior, and feeding items for several species about which little is yet known.

“…This situation put under threat a large proportion of its species, leading this biome to be one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world (Myers et al, 2000;Tabarelli et al, 2005) though still suffering constant anthropogenic pressures (Souza et al, 2013). In heterogeneous and highly diverse forests, such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, which still holds a large number of unknown species (Lewinsohn and Prado, 2005), biodiversity inventories are essential to generate information leading to the proposal of conservation plans (Esbérard, 2003).…”

Biodiversity inventories are essential to generate information leading to the proposal of conservation plans, especially for threatened areas. Despite being one of the best sampled regions for bats in Brazil, some areas of Rio de Janeiro still represent knowledge gaps. Between May 2011 and June 2012, we performed 36 nightly samplings to conduct an inventory of bat species in Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu, in Cachoeiras de Macacu, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. We used 10 mist-nets per night opened from sunset to sunrise. A total of 1,290 individuals belonging to 31 bat species were caught. They were distributed in three families, Phyllostomidae (24 species), Vespertilionidae (four species) and Molossidae (three species). We recorded two other species of two families, Noctilionidae and Thyropteridae, by direct observations. The species richness of bats in Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu is one of the largest ever recorded in the Atlantic Forest.
