“…Sturnira Gray, 1842 is a genus of frugivorous bats distributed across the Neotropics from Mexico to northern Argentina, including some islands in the Caribbean (Velazco & Patterson 2013). Species within this genus are important during successional stages in Neotropical forests (Muscarella & Fleming 2007), establishing mutualistic associations mainly with plants of the genus Piper and Solanum (Saldaña-Vázquez et al 2013;Montoya-Bustamante et al 2016).…”

“…With 23 recognized species, Sturnira is the most species rich genus in the family Phyllostomidae (Velazco & Patterson 2014;Molinari et al 2017), which had its initial radiation in the Andes of South America (Velazco & Patterson 2013). As a product of a recent taxonomic revision of the genus, two new species were described: S. bakeri and S. burtonlimi (Velazco & Patterson 2013.…”

“…As a product of a recent taxonomic revision of the genus, two new species were described: S. bakeri and S. burtonlimi (Velazco & Patterson 2013. Currently, both of these taxa are represented by a limited number of specimens; thus, S. bakeri was thought to be endemic to southwestern Ecuador (Velazco & Patterson 2014;Tirira 2015).…”

“…Studied specimens are listed in the Appendix. Although Velazco & Patterson (2013) restricted the distribution of S. lilium to the Brazilian Shield, they did not clarify its status in Colombia (Ramírez-Chaves et al 2016). Therefore, in this study we still identify as S. lilium those specimens that agree with its description.…”

We evaluate the occurrence of S. bakeri in Colombia, a recently described species. We report seven new records and include data on skull measurements of these individuals and information on the new localities. A discriminant analysis suggests that condyloincisive length and dentary length are the most important measurements to separate S. bakeri and S. luisi from S. lilium. However, to distinguish S. bakeri from S. luisi, we used discrete characters proposed in the original descriptions of these two taxa. Sturnira bakeri should no longer be considered a regionally endemic species from Ecuador and Peru.

Sinopsis de los mamíferos silvestres del estado de Guanajuato, México, y comentarios sobre su conservación

Introduction. Alfred Dugès (1826Dugès ( -1910 began the formal study of wild mammals in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. After his death the subject remained virtually forgotten for almost a hundred years. In the early years of the XXI century several authors began a period of revision of this state fauna based on recent field surveys, museum specimens and previously unnoticed literature.Objectives. The objectives of the present contribution were: to integrate a synopsis of the mammalian fauna of Guanajuato, documenting details for species and subspecies, recognizing proportions of its components at the family level; diagnose the current state coverage of records at the municipality level; outline general biogeographic affinities of the mammal fauna; develop a general conservation view with emphasis on endangered species and protected areas (but without losing sight of other species, spaces and policy instruments), and indicate pending aspects. Methodology.Results of previous literature reviews and museum specimen searches served to summarize mammal species richness, general state distribution and conservation status of taxa.Faunal affinities were outlined considering mammal species whose distribution is clearly associated with large physiographic-biogeographic regions converging in Guanajuato. Information on species at risk, protected areas, priority species, species management units and trade regulations, was gathered and collated to build an integrated conservation diagnostic. Lack of information on other conservation aspects was also addressed and main gaps were identified.Results. Ninety three species of 20 mammal families are known from Guanajuato, mainly Rodentia, Chiroptera and Carnivora. Records were found for 30 of 46 municipalities; but are still unrepresentative. Only 25 species have been recorded in more than five municipalities (Figure 4). The mammal fauna has affinity with the Mexican Plateau, with the slopes of the Gulf of Mexico and of the Pacific, and the Neovolcanic Belt ( Figure 5). Most of the territory in Guanajuato is considerably disturbed ( Figure 6); main conservation strongholds for species at risk are related to protected areas. Discussion and Conclusions.The 93 recorded species were catalogued with data on subspecies, general state distribution, and comments on taxonomy and conservation status. Guanajuato still needs systematic sampling; current records are not yet representative of the territory. This mammal fauna is a complex with different biogeographical components, which should guide any conservation strategy. Alteration of territory calls for effective conservation within protected natural areas (PNA), particularly for species at risk, but some PNAs do not have a validated mammal inventory. Management units (UMA) are scarce and aim at fostering a few species of economic interest; these units need to reorient their overall support for conservation of native biota. Some species are officially considered as priority ones, which can induce/enhance conservation in Guanajuato. Beside...

Historical events, habitat preferences, and geographic barriers might result in distinct genetic patterns in insular versus mainland populations. Comparison between these two biogeographic systems provides an opportunity to investigate the relative role of isolation in phylogeographic patterns and to elucidate the importance of evolution and demographic history in population structure. Herein, we use a genotype‐by‐sequencing approach (GBS) to explore population structure within three species of mastiff bats (Molossus molossus, M. coibensis, and M. milleri), which represent different ecological histories and geographical distributions in the genus. We tested the hypotheses that oceanic straits serve as barriers to dispersal in Caribbean bats and that isolated island populations are more likely to experience genetic drift and bottlenecks in comparison with highly connected ones, thus leading to different phylogeographic patterns. We show that population structures vary according to general habitat preferences, levels of population isolation, and historical fluctuations in climate. In our dataset, mainland geographic barriers played only a small role in isolation of lineages. However, oceanic straits posed a partial barrier to the dispersal for some populations within some species (M. milleri), but do not seem to disrupt gene flow in others (M. molossus). Lineages on distant islands undergo genetic bottlenecks more frequently than island lineages closer to the mainland, which have a greater exchange of haplotypes.
