fauna in urban remnants of Cerrado in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. Biota Neotrop. 10(3): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v10n3/en/ abstract?article+bn02910032010.Abstract: Campo Grande is the largest city of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, located in the Cerrado domain, a biodiversity hotspot. Urban bat faunas have been poorly studied in Brazil, markedly in cities in the Cerrado region. The main objective here is describing composition, richness, and diversity of bat species which occur in the urban Cerrado remnants of Campo Grande. Bat samplings were carried out with mist-nets from March to August 2009 in eight urban parks. One sampling night was performed per month in each site, except in one; 47 nights at all. Each night, six 2.6 × 12 m nets were kept open for six hours after sunset; the capture effort was 52.790.4 m 2 /h. We captured 701 bats belonging to 14 species of which 12 were phyllostomids (98.6% of captures). Artibeus lituratus was the dominant species, such as reported in other urban regions in Brazil. Artibeus planirostris was the second most abundant species, in contrast to other urban bat assemblages. Chiroderma doriae, C. villosum, Phyllostomus hastatus e Platyrrhinus helleri were rare and registered for the first time in Campo Grande. Gathering other studies, 24 bat species are known to occur in Campo Grande, a high value among cities in the Cerrado. Bat diversity (H' = 1.65) in Campo Grande was also higher than that reported for other cities in the Cerrado or Atlantic Forest domains. The wide presence of forested parks in the urban zone may partially explain the great richness and diversity of bats in the Campo Grande city.

“…Similar results were obtained in Cerrado in Minas Gerais by Knegt et al (2005) and in Mato Grosso do Sul by Ferreira et al (2010). In the present study, there was a tendency for diversity to be lower at the more disturbed sites, although diversity at site 2 was similar to that of the disturbed sites, due to the marked abundance of C. perspicillata and A. lituratus, which together accounted for 56% of the individuals captured.…”

“…Inventories of bats in a number of different areas of the Cerrado have recorded between 11 and 25 species (Willig 1983, Gonçalves & Gregorin 2004, Bordignon 2006, Anacleto et al 2008, Camargo et al 2009, Bezerra & Marinho-Filho 2010, Ferreira et al 2010, Zortéa et al 2010, Silva & Anacleto 2011. The number of species recorded in the present study represents 26.2% of the total known to occur in the Cerrado biome, and 29.8% of those recorded in Mato Grosso (Peracchi et al 2011).…”

Bat assemblage in savanna remnants of Sonora, central-western Brazil

“…3 central region of Cerrado (Marinho-Filho et al 1998, Rodrigues et al 2002, Bordignon 2006, Zortéa & Alho 2008, Zortéa et al 2010. Likewise, diversity of bat species in Sonora (H = 1.6) is comparable to that in southern Cerrado sites (H' = 1.5-1.8) (Camargo et al 2009, Cunha et al 2009, Ferreira et al 2010) but lower than in central Cerrado (H' = 2.2) (Zortéa & Alho 2008). Therefore, available data roughly indicate that richness and diversity of bats increase toward northern (or central region; based on Zortéa & Alho 2008) of Cerrado, a possibility that deserves studies.…”

“…In spite of bats have been increasingly surveyed in Mato Grosso do Sul (e.g. Camargo & Fischer 2004, Bordignon 2006, Longo et al 2007, Camargo et al 2009, Cunha et al 2009, Ferreira et al 2010, Alho et al 2011, there is a large gap of data in the northern Cerrado of this state (Bernard et al 2010). This region urges for biological inventories and conservation initiatives, because natural areas have been rapidly transformed into cattle ranches, monocultures, hydroelectric dams, and sucroalcohol facilities (Bernard et al 2010);(pers.…”

“…Mares et al 1981, Willig 1983. Nos últimos 15 anos, houve um aumento considerável de estudos sobre os quirópteros do Cerrado e da Caatinga, envolvendo trabalhos de inventários e de ecologia de comunidades para o Mato Grosso (Gonçalves & Gregorin 2004), Mato Grosso do Sul (Bordignon 2006, Bordignon & França 2009, Cunha et al 2009, Ferreira et al 2010, Silveira et al 2011, Ceará (Silva et al 2001), Minas Gerais (e.g. Grelle et al 1997, Falcão et al 2003, Goiás (Bredt et al 1999, Rodrigues et al 2002, Esbérard et al 2005, Maranhão (Cruz et al 2007) e Piauí (Gregorin et al 2008a).…”
