“…Further studies should evaluate the variation in the abundance of C. perspicillata among different localities in the state of Paraná, given that this species can be found in forest fragments with similar sizes and phytophysiognomy, yet with widely varying abundances. This variability may be explained by local and landscape factors such as resource availability, the presence or absence of competitors and predators, and the presence or absence of ecological corridors (Borray-Escalante et al, 2022;Pena-Cuellar & Benitez-Malvido, 2021;Stevens, 2022), but requires further investigation.…”

The Parque Estadual de São Camilo (PESC) is one of the few forest fragments in the western Paraná, Southern Brazil, a region with a high agricultural activity. The objective of this study was to survey bat species in this park and determine the significance of this area for conservation of bat species. Samples were collected during four nights per month from September 2016 to August 2017, using mist nets placed at eight different sites in the PESC. A total of 380 individuals of three families and 12 species were captured. The most frequent and constant species were Artibeus lituratus, Sturnira lilium, and Artibeus fimbriatus. The most frequent dietary guild found was frugivorous, followed by insectivorous, omnivorous, and carnivorous. A higher species abundance was found in sites at the forest fragment edge. Two Phyllostominae species, Chrotopterus auritus and Phyllostomus hastatus, were found only in the interior of the forest fragment. Although no endangered bat species were identified, the preservation of forest areas in secondary succession, can benefit species that depends on conserved areas. Finally, we recommend conducting new studies within the park, with particular emphasis on unexplored areas, to shed light on the ecology and population dynamics of bats in PESC.

“…The decreasing foraging activity of Carollia is possibly associated with a reduction in ripe fruit availability during the night (Marinho-Filho & Sazima 1989;Thies et al 2006). Piper fruits are regarded as high nutritional and caloric fruit resources (Herbst 1986;Bohlender et al 2018;Borray-Escalante et al 2022); however, ripening of a few fruits per night per plant is typical in Piper, which limits the night availability of mature fruits (Fleming 1985;Thies & Kalko 2004). Some bats might consume enough Piper fruit to fulfill their daily energetic needs during the high availability period and return to their daily roosts after the first three hours of the night (Thies et al 2006).…”

La partición temporal es un mecanismo poco estudiado para especies de murciélagos frugívoros que coexisten en competencia. Describimos los patrones de actividad de Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758), Carollia brevicauda (Schinz, 1821) y Carollia benkeithi Solari and Baker, 2006 basándonos en la variación temporal de las capturas en un bosque premontano del centro de Perú. Para C. perspicillata, también fueron comparados los patrones de actividad entre diferentes sexos y estaciones (húmeda vs. seca). Reportamos una superposición temporal (Delta = 0,91) entre las tres especies, siendo más activas al principio de la noche cuando los recursos se encuentran más disponibles. Ni el sexo ni la estación cambiaron el patrón de actividad de C. perspicillata. La evidencia sugiere que estas especies simpátricas no reducen la competencia a través de la segregación temporal.
