Frugivoria de morcegos (Mammalia, Chiroptera) em Cecropia pachystachya (Urticaceae) e seus efeitos na germinação das sementes

Abstract: Os morcegos frugívoros são componentes fundamentais na manutenção e regeneração de florestas tropicais, pois ao se alimentarem, promovem a mobilidade das sementes dos frutos em que se alimentaram. Muito se discute sobre os efeitos da passagem das sementes no trato digestivo dos morcegos sobre a taxa e velocidade de germinação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi examinar a dieta das espécies de morcegos frugívoros na Estação Experimental de Itirapina para descobrir quais utilizam significativamente os frutos de Cecr… Show more

“…The predominance of phyllostomid bats is probably due to the capture method used, since the use of mist nets at ground level favors higher capture rates of this family, particularly fruit bats (SIPINSKI; REIS, 1995;TADDEI, 1997;KALKO, 1998;PORTFORS et al, 2000). In addition, this study conirms the record for two species in Espírito Santo, Micronycteris microtis (PERACCHI et al, 2011) and Chiroderma doriae (SCABELLO et al, 2009), and expands the distribution of Myotis riparius to another vegetation type, and municipality (Guaçuí).…”

“…Currently in Brazil there are 178 species of bats with known occurrence (Mammalia: Chiroptera), with 113 species occurring in the Atlantic Forest (NOGUEIRA et al, 2014). Bats play an important role in maintaining ecological processes by participating in pollination (SILVA; PERACCHI, 1995;GRIBEL, 2007), seed dispersal (LOPEZ; VAUGHAN, 2004;SATO et al, 2008) and population control of many insect species (AGUIAR; ANTONINI, 2008). However, despite the high diversity of bats in the Atlantic Forest and their ecological importance, data on the biology and ecology of these animals remain insufficiently known (BERNARD et al, 2011).…”

“…Apesar de na literatura a dieta de P. lineatus apresentar uma preferência por frutos do gênero Cecropia (Sato et al, 2008), observou-se um consumo igualitário entre os itens consumidos por esta espécie (33,3% de F. insipida e C. pachystachya).…”

“…We mist-netted 542 individuals of eight species of predominantly or exclusively frugivores phyllostomid bats during our study, with the exception of Glossophaga soricina which also feeds on nectar and pollen, and Phyllostomus discolor, considered an omnivorous species, both with records of frugivory in other regions (Willig et al, 1993;Zortéa, 2003;Sato et al, 2008). The most common species were, in ranked order, Artibeus lituratus, Platyrrhinus lineatus, Sturnira lilium and Carollia perspicillata (Table 2).…”
