Resources partitioning in a fruit bat community of the southern Atlantic Forest, Brazil

Abstract: Bat species have differences in diet composition, use of vertical space, and nocturnal activity period. We analyzed diet and partitioning of spatial and temporal resources among fruit bats, and the influence of fruit availability on the number of bat captures in the southern boundary of the Atlantic Forest. Artibeus lituratus and A. fimbriatus fed mainly on Ficus, whereas Sturnira lilium fed on Solanaceae, Piperaceae, and Ficus. However, we did not find correlation between number of fruit bat captures with fru… Show more

“…Arboreal species exploit above-ground niches in the form of microclimates, microhabitats and resources (Beaulieu et al, 2010;De Moraes Weber, De Arruda, Azambuja, Camilotti, & Cáceres, 2011;Karasawa & Hijii, 2008). Dense strata of vegetation buffer climate (temperature and humidity) from the canopy to the ground, which reduces climate variability at the forest floor (Lowman & Rinker, 2004;Ozanne et al, 2003;Parker, 1995) and produces a gradient that can be several magnitudes steeper than those driven by elevation and latitude (Scheffers et al, 2013).…”

“…Artibeus species feed on Ficus (Moraceae; Morrison ; de Moraes Weber et al . ). Ficus species, like many tropical trees, often exhibit low population densities, which combined with fruiting asynchronicity would encourage long‐distance foraging movements between fruiting trees (Morrison ; Nazareno & de Carvalho ).…”

“…Já as espécies A. lituratus e A. fimbriatus, tiveram associado aos três estratos, resultados semelhantes ao encontrados por Weber et al (2011) , Carvalho et al (2013) e Gregorin et al (2017), que mencionam que a disponibilidade de recursos principalmente frutos que ocorrem nestes estratos como o principal fator que levam estas espécies a explorarem todos os estratos sendo esta, uma característica da Floresta Atlântica. Além disto, estas espécies utilizam os estratos mais baixos como áreas de transito entre os abrigos diurnos (Weber et al,2011;Carvalho et al 2013) e poleiros de alimentação. Outros trabalhos também relatam o uso de todos os estratos por estas espécies (Kalko & Handley Jr. 2001, Carvalho et al 2013Gregorin et al 2017).…”

“…Para P. bilabiatum, apesar de ser uma espécies de baixa capturabilidade (Brito et al, 2010;Luz et al, 2015;Miranda & Zago, 2015;Sato et al, 2015;Novaes et al, 2016), sendo até mesmo considerado rara para o estado de São Paulo por Pacheco et al (2010), no presente estudo foi capturado nos três estratos, todavia Carvalho et al (2013) e Weber et al (2011) capturaram um indivíduo no sub-bosque e outro no dossel respectivamente.…”
