New records on the use of man-made constructions as diurnal roosts by bats from the southern Amazon in central Brazil

Abstract: Roosts are a key part of bat species' life stories. Information on roost use enables us to understand the biological processes underlying bat ecology and is crucial with regard to the natural-roost loss and environmental pressures related to habitat destruction that has been considered as a threat affecting bat conservation. The aim of this study was to collect new data on the diurnal artificial-roost use by bats in a landscape from the southern Amazon. We observed bat species roosting at an abandoned house in… Show more

“…The fringe-lipped bat roosts in hollow trees, caves, rock crevices, storm drains, and abandoned buildings, and may form small groups, containing no more than six individuals of either sex, although there are some records of colonies of up to 50 individuals (Cramer et al, 2001;Peracchi et al, 2011). This species usually forages in the understory (Cramer et al, 2001;Peracchi et al, 2011) and shares roosts with a number of other bats, including Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffroy 1810), Diphylla ecaudata (Spix 1823), Lophostoma brasiliense (Peters 1866), Micronycteris megalotis (Gray 1842), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas 1766), Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) and Anoura geoffroyi (Gray 1838) (Peracchi et al, 2011;Lima et al, 2017).…”
