“…Using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b gene, a genetic structuring pattern according to geographic distribution was also found [49], consisting of four genetics groups: (i) Central Depression of Chiapas, (ii) Veracruz/Tamaulipas, (iii) Pacific/Baja California Sur, and (iv) Central Valley of Oaxaca. Similar genetic structuring patterns have been reported for other bat species [50,51], where mountain ranges, depressions, and lowlands such as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec have served as important barriers to population dispersal and gene flow.…”

“…In addition, the highest levels of historical gene flow were recorded from PYUC to SS, which could be a reflection of a historical dispersal route through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, as has been documented in birds [96,97]. The separation between GM/PM and PYUC probably results from the influence of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which has functioned as a geographic barrier for flying organisms such as bats [50,51,98] and birds [99,100]; this hypothesis was supported by the moderate gene flow values obtained here. For the group PYUC, signatures of demographic stability over time were observed, a finding also supported by paleontological information; these observations suggest that the general climate of the region did not change drastically from the end of the Pleistocene to the present [101,102].…”

Recent historical and anthropogenic changes in the landscape causing habitat fragmentation can disrupt the connectivity of wild populations and pose a threat to the genetic diversity of multiple species. This study investigated the effect of habitat fragmentation on the structure and genetic diversity of the Mexican greater funnel-eared bat (Natalus mexicanus) throughout its distribution range in Mexico, whose natural habitat has decreased dramatically in recent years. Genetic structure and diversity were measured using the HVII hypervariable domain of the mitochondrial control region and ten nuclear microsatellite loci, to analyze historical and contemporary information, respectively. The mitochondrial and nuclear results pointed to a differential genetic structuring, derived mainly from philopatry in females. Our results also showed that genetic diversity was historically high and currently moderate; additionally, the contemporary gene flow between the groups observed was null. These findings confirm that the effects of habitat fragmentation have started to be expressed in populations and that forest loss is already building barriers to contemporary gene flow. The concern is that gene flow is a process essential to ensure that the genetic diversity of N. mexicanus populations (and probably of many other forest species) distributed in Mexico is preserved or increased in the long term by maintaining forest connectivity between locations.

“…The region around the Balsas river is also an important barrier for species such as Sturnira parvidens (Hernández-Canchola & León-Paniagua, 2017). In these studies, geographical barriers together with Pleistocene climate changes promoted lineage divergence followed by range expansion (Guevara-Chumacero et al, 2010;Ruiz, Vargas-Miranda & Zúñiga, 2013;Hernández-Canchola & León-Paniagua, 2017;Zárate-Martínez et al, 2018;López-Wilchis et al, 2021).…”

Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, the lesser long-nosed bat is an abundant migratory nectar-feeding bat found in most of Mexico, and in some areas of northern Central America and small sections of southwestern USA. We analyzed the distribution of the maternal and paternal lineages of this species with phylogeographic methods based on two mitochondrial markers, Cyt-b and D-loop, and a marker located in the Y chromosome, DBY. We obtained tissue samples from 220 individuals from 23 localities. Levels of genetic diversity (haplotype diversity, Hd) were high (Cyt-b = 0.757; D-loop = 0.8082; DBY = 0.9137). No clear patterns of population genetic structure were found for mitochondrial markers, while male genetic differentiation suggested the presence of two lineages: one from Mexican Pacific coast states and another from central-southern Mexico; in accordance to strong male philopatry and higher female migration. We used genealogical reconstructions based on Bayesian tools to calculate divergence times, and to test coalescent models to explain changes in L. yerbabuenae historical demography. Our results show that recent demographic changes were consistent with global climatic changes (∼130,000 kyr ago for Cyt-b and ∼160,000 kyr for D-loop) and divergence times dated from molecular genealogies exhibited older divergence times, Cyt-b (4.03 mya), D-loop (10.26 mya) and DBY (12.23 mya). Accordingly, the female lineage underwent demographic expansion associated to Pleistocene climate change, whereas the male lineage remained constant.

“…Smith (1972) recognized morphologically two subspecies within P. personatus (P. p. psilotis and P. p. personatus), but Dávalos (2006) suggested, in a molecular revision, that the two subspecies should be considered as different species. Marroig (2016, 2017) and Zárate-Martínez et al (2018) have also recommended the elevation of P. personatus and P. psilotis to the species rank. In this investigation, we follow these recent taxonomic recommendations and, therefore, as the study specimens were collected in Mexico they correspond to the species P. psilotis.…”

Pteronotus psilotis, a mormoopid bat, is an insectivorous, gregarious and strict cave-dwelling species that is found areas between the sea level and an elevation of about 1000 masl. This species is present in diverse habitats ranging from rain forest to dry deciduous forest. Nine microsatellite loci were developed for Wagner's mustached bat, Pteronotus psilotis using the next-generation sequencing approach, and their utility for population genetics studies was assessed. All loci were polymorphic (7-15 alleles) and characterized in 30 individuals from three P. psilotis populations, with the levels of observed and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.280 to 0.867 and 0.584 to 0.842, respectively. One locus showed significant departures from Hardy-Weinberg expectations after Bonferroni correction. Cross-amplification in 11 other bat species was tested, for which eight microsatellites were successfully amplified, and of these seven were polymorphic. The development of these new microsatellite loci will contribute to investigations of genetic population structure, genetic diversity and gene flow in P. psilotis populations, as well as in other closely related bat species.
