“…It is important to note that all of the most frequently captured frugivorous species declined in abundance with elevation. Even species that are relatively common in high‐elevation forest and known to be comparatively well adapted to elevation in the Atlantic Forest, such as Sturnira lillium (Luz, Costa, Jordão‐Nogueira, Esbérard, & Bergallo, ; Martins et al., ; Mello, Kalko, & Silva, ; Nobre, dos Santos Rodrigues, de Almeida Costa, da Silva Moreira, & Moreira, ), are less abundant there than at lower elevations at this latitude; S. lillium peaked in abundance in the 500–1,000 m elevational band and declined above that. A similar decrease in S. lillium with elevation has also been reported in Argentina by Sánchez and Giannini ().…”

Aim:This study aims to contribute to the identification of ecological determinants of tropical moist forest montane biodiversity, analysing changes in the structure of bat assemblages along an elevational gradient and testing the role of species traits shaping those assemblages.Location: Mountain ranges in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Methods:We compiled a dataset with the composition of phyllostomid bat assemblages at 32 forested sites, ranging from 60 m to 1,960 m a.s.l. We quantified how abundance and diversity changed along this elevational gradient, and assessed the capacity of each species to be present and abundant at each elevation, identifying traits that may influence that capacity.Results: Abundance and species diversity declined markedly with increasing elevation. Tolerance to low temperatures, low habitat specialization and cave roosting facilitated success at higher elevations. Owing to trait filtering, and to changes in resource availability with elevation, assemblages were progressively dominated by a smaller number of mostly generalist species as elevation increased. Higher elevations harbour only a subset of the species that are present in the lowland forest, with no mountain specialized species. Main conclusions:High mountains harbour phyllostomid assemblages that are impoverished subsets of those at lower elevations. Phyllostomids have a tropical origin and may thus have a low potential to adapt to montane forest environments, which possibly explains the observed climatic trait filtering. Habitat filtering is also important, keeping forest specialists mostly at lowest elevations. Protected areas in the Atlantic Forest are mostly limited to mountains. While these areas are clearly important to protect biodiversity, including phyllostomid assemblages, it is now critical to protect and restore the few remnants of lower elevation Atlantic Forest where higher productivity and resource levels, increased complexity of vertical structure, and fewer climatic constraints favour the success of a wider range of phyllostomid bat species of tropical origin.

Por serem ativamente inseridos na dinâmica das florestas, os morcegos desempenham uma gama de serviços ecossistêmicos o que torna o grupo chave para interesses ecológicos, agrícolas e econômicos. Devido à estrutura de uma floresta influenciar sobre a distribuição vertical de recursos, a estrutura de uma comunidade de morcegos varia dentro da estrutura vertical da floresta e são poucos os estudos que exploram mais de um estrato florestal, assim o conhecimento existente sobre a ecologia de morcegos, sobretudo na floresta Atlântica, passa a ser subestimado. É neste contexto que o objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar a estrutura da comunidade de morcegos no uso do espaço vertical na Reserva Biológica Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba. Através da captura de morcegos por redes de neblina instaladas no sub-bosque (3m), sub-dossel (4-7m) e dossel (8-12m), analisamos a frequência de captura das espécies em cada estrato vertical e relacionamos a frequência de capturas nos diferentes estratos de cada guilda trófica registrada com variáveis bióticas (peso e envergadura de asa) e abióticas (umidade e temperatura). Para os 117 indivíduos das 14 espécies capturadas, os resultados apontam que a comunidade de morcegos da região é regulada pela estrutura vertical, com a espécie Carollia perspicillata preferindo exclusivamente o sub-bosque. Também o uso de estratos superiores está associado com o tamanho corpóreo para os morcegos frugívoros e a temperatura do ambiente para morcegos insetívoros. Este trabalho ressalta a necessidade da exploração dos estratos superiores em inventários e programas de monitoramento de fauna.
