“…However, the La Venta Miocene fossils consist of only a few isolated teeth (Czaplewski, 1997). In this context it is noteworthy that recent molecular phylogenetic studies have questioned the monophyly of extant bats referred to N. albiventris, suggesting that albi¬ ventris as currently recognized may represent a complex of at least three species that together are paraphyletic with respect to N. leporinus (Lewis-Oritt et al, 2001;Pavan et al, 2013). Pavan et al (2013) found that living lineages of Noctilio albiventris originated quite recently, between 1.2-3.4 mya.…”

“…Based on a phylogenetic analysis including both mitochondrial and nuclear genes, Lewis-Oritt et al (2001) hypothesized that N. leporinus quite recently diverged from within the N alhiventris complex, roughly 0.28-0.7 mya. Recently, Pavan et al (2013) conducted a new phylogeographic analysis for the genus and proposed that N. leporinus differentiated a bit earlier than suggested by Lewis-Oritt et al (2001), with date estimates ranging between 0.8-1.3 mya. Pavan et al 2013found support for a sister-group relationship between an Amazonian clade of N.…”

“…The genus Noctilio is in need of review and patterns of morphological variation within species need to be reevaluated with larger sample sizes from more localities to better control for intraspecific variation. Phylogeographic studies of Lewis-Oritt et al (2001) and Pavan et al (2013) have suggested that N. albiventris as currently recognized is composed by more than one taxon (see below). However, there is no evidence that N. leporinus represents of more than one species despite its broad geographic distribution (Lewis-Oritt et al, 2001;Pavan et al, 2013).…”

The partially submerged Impossivel-Ioio cave system located in the karst region of Cha¬ pada Diamantina in Bahia (Brazil) has recently been the target of extensive paleontological studies. Here we provide the first report of fossil bats from this cave system, in which we rec¬ ognize six species based on humeral remains: Furipterus horrens, Chrotopterus auritus, Mormoops cf. megalophylla, Pteronotus gymnonotus, Pteronotus parnelUi, and Noctilio leporinus. Morphology of the humerus of these taxa is described in a comparative framework to docu¬ ment taxonomic assessments and provide a basis for future studies of fossil bat faunas. The relevance of the new records reported here is evaluated at a broader continental scale, as well as in contrast with the recent bat fauna of the region. The record of Noctilio leporinus stands as the first fossil occurrence of this species on the South American continent.

“…The available genetic data from N. leporinus pro¬ vide evidence of dual invasions into the Caribbean by the species, with Central American populations coloniz¬ ing the Greater Antilles and northern South American populations colonizing the southern Lesser Antilles (Lewis-Oritt et al 2001;Genoways et al 2010;Pavan et al 2013;Kahn et al 2014). Despite this observation, there was no clear genetic consensus regarding the most appropriate subspecific taxonomy for southern Lesser Antillean populations, including N. leporinus from St. Vincent.…”

The chiropteran fauna of the island of Saint Vincent, represented by 12 species, is among the most complex in the Lesser Antilles, being represented by four families including Noctilionidae (1 species), Mormoopidae (1), Phyllostomidae (8), and Molossidae (2). This fauna includes four trophic guilds as represented by Noctilio leporinus (piscivore/insectivore); Glossophaga longirostris and Monophyllusplethodon (nectarivore/pollenivore); Artibeus lituratus,A. schwartzi, Brachyphylla cavernarum, Ardops nichollsi, mdSturnira paulsoni (frugivore); and Pteronotusfuscus, Micronycteris buriri, Molossus molossus, and Tadarida brasiliensis (insectivore). One species-Micronyc¬ teris buriri-and two subspecies-Sturnira paulsoni paulsoni and Ardops nichollsi vincentensis-are endemic to the island. Recent advancements in population genomics have led to the discovery of the reticulated evolutionary history of Artibeus schwartzi and it is likely that the formation of the hybrid evolutionary trajectory of this species is linked with classical island biogeography. The bat fauna of St. Vincent is unique in the West Indies, characterized by being a crossroads for species, an outpost for both northern and southern species, the boundary for a multi-island bat fauna as marked by Koopman's Line, and a site of endemism. Based on our studies, we place the bat fauna of St. Vincent as the southern-most island in the Lesser Antillean Faunal Core.

Eight species of bat have been previously recorded from the island of Saint Lu¬ cia: Noctilio leporinus, Monophyllus plethodon, Artibeus jamaicensis, Brachyphylla cavernarum, Ardops nichollsi, Sturnira paulsoni, Molossus molossus, and Tadarida brasiliensis. Herein, we add a ninth species to the fauna-Pteronotus davyi. These nine species represent nine genera from four families: Noctilionidae, Mormoopidae, Phyllostomidae, and Molossidae. This fauna includes four trophic guilds: N. lepori¬ nus (piscivore/insectivore), M. plethodon (nectarivore/pollenivore), A. jamaicensis x schwartzi, B. cavernarum, A. nichollsi, and S. paulsoni (frugivores), and P. davyi, M. molossus, and T. brasiliensis (insectivores). Based on its geographic location, the bat fauna of St. Lucia is enigmatic in regard to species dispersal along the Lesser Antillean archipelago. Natalus stramineus and M. martiniquensis are present on Martinique im¬ mediately to the north, and Micronycteris buriri, P. fuscus, Glossophaga longirostris, and Artibeus lituratus are found on St. Vincent directly to the south, yet these six species are conspicuously absent on St. Lucia. Moreover, the St. Lucian population of Artibeus resides at the northern edge of a fascinating hybrid zone involving three species, A. jamaicensis, A. planirostris, and A. schwartzi. In light of these observations, we provide a framework for analyzing the biogeographical patterns of the regional fauna to see if there is something about St. Lucia that is unique. We posit that a number of complex geological and ecological factors account for the depauperate bat fauna observed on the island as well as the formation of the Artibeus hybrid zone in the southern Lesser Antilles.
