“…Only adult, based on the ossification of metacarpals and phalanxes, female specimens were considered for PCA analysis due to the limited sampling for adult males (only one male was analyzed). All data were log-transformed for statistical tests (Gregorin et al 2016).…”

Distributional and biological data for some bat species in South America are scarce, mainly in non-phyllostomid bats. Herein we provide new records of two rare species of aerial insectivore bats for southeastern Brazil, Histiotus montanus and Molossops neglectus. In addition, we report facial morphological variation in color and new records of ectoparasites for H. montanus. For M. neglectus we performed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to check for morphometric variation based on forearm and skull dimensions, the southerly distributed specimens showing slightly smaller measurements than the northern ones.

“…About one-quarter of the Brazilian mammal species are bats (Paglia et al 2012), currently comprising 183 known species (Nogueira et al 2014, Feijó et al 2015a, Fischer et al 2015, Moratelli & Dias 2015, Gregorin et al 2016, Rocha et al 2016. Considering that Brazil harbors one of the largest mammal diversities in the world, its bat fauna is poorly known.…”

The bats of Rio Grande do Norte state, northeastern Brazil

Rio Grande do Norte is one of the smallest states in Brazil but has a rich diversity of ecosystems, including Caatinga vegetation, remnants of Atlantic Forest, coastal habitats, mangroves and large karstic areas with caves. However, its chiropteran fauna is little known, and the state contains conspicuous gaps of information on the occurrence and distribution of bats in Brazil. In order to reduce this information gap, based on a review of scientific literature and regional mammal collections, we list 42 species of bats, including new occurrences for 13 species and discussion on their conservation status. Results show that more than half (54%) of the recorded species are phyllostomid bats, and about one third of the bats in the state roosts in underground cavities. The Caatinga harbored the highest bat richness in the state, including the occurrence of four vulnerable species (Furipterus horrens, Lonchorhina aurita, Natalus macrourus and Xeronycteris vieirai). The Atlantic Forest needs to be more sampled, including mangroves, coastal habitats and areas of Caatinga in the central region of the state (Borborema highlands), which are virtually unsurveyed. Although the recent increase of studies on bats in the state, future studies should complement conventional mistnetting with active roost search and bioacoustical records in order to obtain better data for unraveling the bat fauna of Rio Grande do Norte.

“…Chiroptera is the second largest mammalian order, with 182 species known to occur in Brazil, representing nine families (Nogueira et al 2014;Feijó et al 2015a;Moratelli & Dias 2015;Rocha et al 2015Rocha et al , 2018Gregorin et al 2016). In addition to their high taxonomic diversity (Simmons 2005), bats have an exceptionally wide range of diets and ecological niches (Kalko 1998), and play a vital role in the ecosystem and the maintenance of natural environments (Peracchi et al 2011).…”

Morcegos (Mammalia, Chiroptera) de uma área de Caatinga do sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil Resumo: O presente estudo fornece um inventário das espécies de morcegos capturados no município de Caetité, no sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil. No total, foram capturados 68 indivíduos de morcegos, pertencentes a nove espécies e três famílias. A riqueza de espécies estimada para a área através do estimador Jackknife 1, foi 9.9. Os morcegos filostomidaeos foram os mais abundantes, e a espécie Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) foi a dominante. Nossos resultados são consistentes com estudos anteriores realizados na Bahia e no bioma Caatinga, fornecendo dados sobre a estrutura local da comunidade de morcegos. Além disso, destaca a importância de inventários rápidos para compreender a diversidade e distribuição da fauna de morcegos.Palavras chave: Assembléia de morcegos, Caatinga, Caetité, inventário rápido.Abstract: The present study provides an inventory of the bat species recorded in the municipality of Caetité, in southwestern Bahia, Brazil. Sixty-eight individuals were captured, belonging to nine species and three families. The Jackknife 1 procedure estimated a species richness of 9.9. The phyllostomid bats were the most abundant, and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) was captured most frequently. Our results are consistent with previous studies conducted in Bahia and the Caatinga, providing data on the local bat community structure. It also highlights the importance of rapid inventories for the understanding of the diversity and distribution of the bat fauna.
