“…The presence of G. soricina was confirmed for 2–3 months of the year only, but this species could migrate to different altitudes (McGuire and Boyle 2013). In contrast, H. underwoodi is a rare species, the ecology of which is poorly known (Jones and Homan 1974), but it seems to prefer foraging in the canopy during the rainy season, and in the understory during the dry season (Samudio 2002), making it difficult to obtain reliable data for this species.…”

Bromeliads going batty: pollinator partitioning among sympatric chiropterophilous Bromeliaceae

et al. 2019

Pre-pollination mechanisms for isolation among sympatric bat-pollinated plants are largely unknown. We investigated the mechanisms for reproductive segregation between four sympatric chiropterophilous bromeliads in Veracruz, Mexico. With ex situ and in situ manual pollination treatments we determined the breeding system by assessing fruiting and seedling success and sampled bat visitors using mist-nets and infrared cameras. Bromeliads showed staggered flowering, different pollen deposition sites on the body of the pollinator and differences in the reward offered. These traits may have evolved to reduce the competitive costs of sharing pollinators while providing a constant supply of food for the nectarivorous bat community.

“…The reproductive cycle is one of bimodal polyestry (Wilson 1979), but pregnant females have been recorded year around (LaVal 1977;LaVal and Fitch 1977). Biology of this species was summarized by Jones and Homan (1974).…”

“…nigricans , are ubiquitous bats occupying a wide elevational range, from sea level to above 3100 masl [ 54 , 85 , 86 ]; this seems also the case of H . underwoodi , whose altitudinal range goes from sea level at Guatemala and Costa Rica, up to above 2000 masl in Mexico and 2600 masl in Costa Rica [ 44 ] (but see [ 87 ]); and of L . blossevillii , with a distribution that extends from southern British Columbia through the western U.S., Mexico, Central America, and South America [ 88 ], recorded from sea level to above 3100 masl [ 54 ].…”

Unveiling the Hidden Bat Diversity of a Neotropical Montane Forest

et al. 2016

Mountain environments, characterized by high levels of endemism, are at risk of experiencing significant biodiversity loss due to current trends in global warming. While many acknowledge their importance and vulnerability, these ecosystems still remain poorly studied, particularly for taxa that are difficult to sample such as bats. Aiming to estimate the amount of cryptic diversity among bats of a Neotropical montane cloud forest in Talamanca Range—south-east Central America—, we performed a 15-night sampling campaign, which resulted in 90 captured bats belonging to 8 species. We sequenced their mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and screened their inter- and intraspecific genetic variation. Phylogenetic relations with conspecifics and closely related species from other geographic regions were established using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian inference methods, as well as median-joining haplotype networks. Mitochondrial lineages highly divergent from hitherto characterized populations (> 9% COI dissimilarity) were found in Myotis oxyotus and Hylonycteris underwoodi. Sturnira burtonlimi and M. keaysi also showed distinct mitochondrial structure with sibling species and/or populations. These results suggest that mountains in the region hold a high degree of endemicity potential that has previously been ignored in bats. They also warn of the high extinction risk montane bats may be facing due to climatic change, particularly in isolated mountain systems like Talamanca Range.
