First record of leucism in Glossophaga soricina valens (Phyllostomidae: Chiroptera) from Peru

Abstract: Leucism is a genetic condition that manifest as the total or partial lack of coloration, as result of a deficiency in the melanin deposit in the skin and fur. We present the first occurrence of leucism in Glossophaga soricina valens from Peru, a nectarivorous species of the western slope of the Andes from Peru and Ecuador, and the Marañon valley. Also, we discuss some implications of this occurrence, and update the list of bat species recorded with leucism in the America.El leucismo es una condición genética e… Show more

“…These chromatic disorders have been reported in individuals of the Phyllostomidae, Mormoopidae, Molossidae, and Vespertilionidae families from North and South America (Caire & Thies 1988, Geiger & Pacheco 2006, Hernández-Mijangos 2009, Idoeta et al 2011, García-Morales et al 2012, Ruelas et al 2016, Zortéa & Silva 2018, Hernández-Aguilar & Santos-Moreno 2018. For example, in South America, cases of these conditions have been reported in molossids in the genera Molossus, Eumops, Nyctinomops, and Tadarida in Peru (Tello et al 2014), Brazil (Veiga & Oliveira 1995, Sodré et al 2004, Geiger & Pacheco 2006, Nascimento et al 2018, Venezuela (Soriano et al 1993, Muñoz-Romo et al 2014, and Argentina (Romano et al 2015).…”

“…Although chromatic aberrations in bats seem to be a worldwide phenomenon, South America has a significant information gap (Lucati & López-Baucells 2016), and the little known comes from last few years (Hernández-Aguilar & Santos-Moreno 2018, Rose et al 2017, Ruelas et al 2016, Tello et al 2014, Zortéa & Silva 2018. Therefore, these chromatic disorders and their causes should be investigated in order to complement available data on the subject.…”

“…Anexo a la estructura, el pelo resalta una importante característica funcional: la coloración. Esta cualidad es muy variable en la clase Mammalia y puede informar acerca de la edad, el estado reproductivo, el sexo, estacionalidad, enfermedades, e incluso ayuda a diferenciar poblaciones y es una gran herramienta en la taxonomía (Stoner et al 2003;Caro 2005).…”

Para la mayoría de estos trabajos se ha utilizado de manera imprecisa los términos albinismo parcial que se presenta como parches de color blanco asociado a la ausencia de melanina en la piel y ojos (Barquez et al 2003) y leucismo, que se refiere a la condición en donde hay una reducción de la pigmentación parcial o total que mantiene la coloración normal de los ojos y/o la piel (Rivera-Prieto & Marín-C 2017).…”
