“…The examined specimen was collected in a disturbed area in a buriti forest associated with a watercourse (07°36'43" S; 45°06'7" W), in the municipality of Ribeiro Gonçalves. This species has been found in primary and secondary forests, riparian forests, and secondary forest, in dry and open areas such as Cerrado, as well as in disturbed areas, such as orchards and plantations (Handley 1987;Aguiar et al 1995;Bernard and Fenton 2002;Marques-Aguiar et al 2002;Gonçalves and Gregorin 2004).…”

“…The mammalian fauna of the Saracá-Taquera National Forest is rich and diverse, with at least as many species as most other, similar areas that have been surveyed in the Amazon biome (George et al 1988;Calouro 1999;Marques-Aguiar et al 2003;Pontes et al 2008;Bergallo et al 2012;Santos and Mendes-Oliveira 2012). While some other regions in the Amazon may have higher species richness, reinforcing their priority for conservation (Oliveira et al, 2016), the relatively high species richness recorded in the present study emphasizes the importance of this environment for the maintenance of local and regional diversity.…”

The Amazonian rainforest harbors one of the most diverse mammal faunas found anywhere in the world, although this fauna is still poorly known. Inventories are essential for the understanding of the biology and ecology of species, and provide basic data for conservation. Over 15 years of sampling in the Saracá-Taquera National Forest, we recorded 72 species of small (nonvolant), medium, and large mammals belonging to 30 families in 10 orders. These taxa included 29 species endemic to the Amazon biome, and 14 classified as threatened with extinction. Overall, the mammalian species richness recorded in the present study was equal to or greater than that recorded in other Amazonian studies, reflecting high levels of diversity on a biogeographic scale. This reinforces the importance of this national forest for the maintenance of the region's mammalian fauna. Some of the species were recorded in the region for the first time, thus extending their known geographic distribution.

“…However, the varzea forests in the estuary of the Amazon River, Eastern Amazon, are still poorly known for bats. Only two studies were carried out in this part of the Amazon: one in the Marajó Region, in Anajá s (Marques-Aguiar et al 2002), and the other in the surroundings of Belém (Kalko & Handley Jr. 2001), both in the state of Pará . Taking into account the need for studies on the bat fauna in varzea forests, a bat inventory would be an important tool for decision-making in the management of those environments (Silveira et al 2010).…”

Abstract:The varzea forests of the estuary of the Amazon River cover 25,000 km 2 within the states of Pará and Amapá . The mammals of those forests, especially bats, are still poorly known. Hence, the present study aimed at inventorying the bat species from three localities of a varzea forest in the estuary of the Amazon River. Between November and December 2013, we selected 18 sampling sites in the mouths of three tributaries of the Amazon River: the rivers Ajuruxí, Maracá , and Mazagã o. We set up ten mist nets (12 x 3 m) along a 150-m linear transect in each sampling site, in a total sampling effort of 38,888 m 2 .h. We captured 403 individual bats of 40 species and five families. We recorded the families: Phyllostomidae (n ¼ 31 species), Emballonuridae (n ¼ 6 species), Moormopidae (n ¼ 1 species), Vespertilionidae (n ¼ 1 species), and Thyropteridae (n ¼ 1 species). Carollia perspicillata, Artibeus planirostris, and Carollia brevicauda comprised 45% of the records. We also made the first record of Glyphonycteris daviesi for Amapá state, and captured rare species, such as Dicludurus albus and Macrophyllum macrophylum. Our results show that the varzea forest of the estuary of the Amazon River harbors high bat diversity, and, hence, conservation policies should be considered for the region. Those policies should encourage the responsible management of ac¸aí palm (Euterpe oleracea) and timber. They should also fight illegal timber exploitation that threatens the fauna and flora of those biodiverse forests.

Morcegos de floresta de várzea no estuário do Rio Amazonas, estado do Amapá, Norte do Brasil.http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-06032015016814Resumo: As florestas de várzea do estuário do Rio Amazonas ocupam uma extensão 25. 000 km 2 , abrangendo os estados do Pará e Amapá. Os mamíferos destas florestas, especificamente morcegos ainda são pouco conhecidos. Este estudo visa apresentar uma lista de espécies de morcegos de três localidades em floresta de várzea no estuário do Rio Amazonas, contribuindo assim com o conhecimento da quiropterofauna desta fitofisionomia. Entre Novembro e Dezembro de 2013 foram selecionados 18 sítios de coletas na foz de três rios tributários do Rio Amazonas: Rio Ajuruxí, Rio Maracá e Rio Mazagão. Com o uso de dez redes de neblina (12 x 3 m) armadas ao longo de um transecto linear de 150 metros em cada sitio de coleta e totalizando um esforc¸o amostral de 38,888 m 2 . h capturamos 403 indivíduos distribuídos em 40 espécies e cinco famílias. As famílias registradas foram Phyllostomidae (n ¼ 31 espécies), Emballonuridae (n ¼ 6 espécies), Moormopidae (n ¼ 1 espécie), Vespertilionidae (n ¼ 1 espécie) e Thyropteridae (n ¼ 1 espécie). Carollia perspicillata, Artibeus planirostris e Carollia brevicauda compreenderam 45 % dos registros. Nó s documentamos o primeiro registro de Glyphonycteris daviesi para o estado do Amapá. Registramos também espécies raras como Dicludurus albus e Macrophyllum macrophylum...
