Nuevas localidades en la distribución de murciélagos filostóminos (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) en Chiapas, México.

Abstract

We captured bats in natural protected areas in Chiapas, Mexico, including five individuals of the species Macrophyllum macrophyllum, Micronycteris schmidtorum, and Vampyrum spectrum. We report new localities on the distribution of this three species, extending their distribution ranges.KEY WORDS: Chiapas, distribution, Macrophyllum macrophyllum, Micronycteris schmidtorum, Vampyrum spectrum.PALABRAS CLAVE: Chiapas, distribución, Macrophyllum macrophyllum, Micronycteris schmidtorum, Vampyrum spectrum

First record of Macrophyllum macrophyllum (Schinz, 1821) in Brazilian mangroves, with comments on bat diversity in this ecosystem

“…These records show the importance of sampling in watercourses (and associated lagoons), in areas of plain landform , and in roosts close to potential foraging areas (e.g., culverts;Taddei 1975;Marques 1985). This directed effort will also help determine the extent to which the local rarity of this species, usually represented in surveys by just one specimen (e.g., Hernández-Mijangos et al 2008;Camargo et al 2009;Rocha et al 2010;Feijó et al 2015), is a matter of sampling artifact. Roost samplings usually result in more individuals being reported than net sampling.…”
