Bandeira⁴ José a.t. Moreno⁵ stephen f. ferrari⁶ ABSTRACT This study reports the occurrence of bat species and their ectoparasites to a mangrove area of the State of Pernambuco. The bats were captured for seven consecutive months in four mangrove areas. Sampling occurred for 12 consecutive hours each night collection where mist-nets were used. Eighty-three bats of 14 species were captured. Of these, only 53 Phyllostomidae family bats found themselves parasited. We identified seven species of flies of the family Streblidae parasitizing bats. The diversity of bats is H' = 2.19 for all areas sampled and the prevalence of streblid ranged from 8.3 to 66,6. The mean intensity ranged from one and five. It is reported for the first time the occurrence of Lophostoma brasiliense to the mangrove ecosystem, besides two species of streblid to Pernambuco.

Bat Fauna (Chiroptera) in an urban environment in the Atlantic Forest, northeastern Brazil

“…O presente inventário realizado no campus Dois Irmãos da UFRPE obteve um total de 950 capturas em um esforço total de 3.024 horas-rede, valores próximos as 1000 capturas sugeridas por Bergallo et al (2003) e superior as 1.000 horas-rede sugeridas por Sampaio et al (2003) para uma amostragem satisfatória da riqueza de morcegos em uma determinada área pesquisada de Mata Atlântica e na Região Neotropical, respectivamente. Na área de estudo do presente trabalho foram registradas 16 espécies de morcegos, equivalente a 19,06% das 84 espécies de morcegos ocorrentes no estado de Pernambuco (Ascorra et al 1991;Guerra 2007;Maratelli e Dias, 2015;Rocha et al 2015;Silva e Marinho-Filho, 2010;Simmons, 1996;Weber et al 2010;Reis et al 2017). .…”

“…Lasiurus blossevillii occurs from Canada to South America, being recorded in all countries except Chile (Gardner 2007).
