“…Bats have been historically stigmatized for their appearance or associated negatively with blood-feeding and rabies, and consequently victimized, mistreated and often killed [25,26]. Since the first news about SARS-CoV-2 pandemic came out, bats have been blamed for the disease current outbreak although no consensus has been reached on significant evidence that would justify such responsibility [27][28][29].…”

Urbanization changes natural environments making them inhospitable to autochthonous fauna. However, studies have shown that certain groups and animal species tolerate urban habitat or even benefit from it as is the case of some bats. This study assesses the diversity of bats in Curitiba, Southern Brazil, providing a basis for the discussion on their conservation, management, ecological services provide, and the critical evaluation of their role in the zoonoses of interest for public health. The data was compiled from a combination of museum, historical and recent literature (1824 to 2020), records to identify which bat species have actually been captured or recorded in Curitiba. The results indicate 29 species (five of them threatened with extinction) from four families: Phyllostomidae, Noctilionidae, Molossidae and Vespertilionidae. Insectivorous bats (Molossidae and Vespertilionidae) represent 62.1% of the species recorded; and the primarily frugivorous (Phyllostomidae) 24.1%, followed by nectarivorous/polinivorous species (6.9%), insectivorous/frugivorous (ca. 3.4%) and piscivorous/insectivorous (ca. 3.4%). Fruit-eating bats seem to prefer urban green areas while insectivores tend to occupy human-made structures. Our results show that this high-growth potential diversity bears both a numerical and ecological relevance. It is worth remembering that Curitiba is in Brazil's subtropical area, where the richness of bat species is lower, and the predominant species are different from those in the tropical region of the country. Finally, studies on the natural history of bats (feeding, reproduction, roosting, etc.) in Curitiba are scarce and urgently necessary given to the current pandemic scenario where these traditionally stigmatized animals have been even more depreciated by public opinion. HIGHLIGHTS 29 species (five of them threatened with extinction) in 17 genera and four families. Insectivorous bats represent 62.1% of the species recorded. Frugivorous bats (Phyllostomidae) represent 24.1% of the species recorded. This high-growth potential diversity bears both a numerical and ecological relevance. Bianconi, GV and Miretzki, M.

“…Bats are still widely held as evil, disease-carrying, blood-sucking animals, especially in the western world, where old myths persist (Teixeira and Papavero 2003). However, only 3 among the more than 1,300 extant bat species feed on blood: Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1810), Diphylla ecaudata Spix, 1823, and Diaemus youngii (Jentink, 1893).…”

Diaemus youngii (Jentink, 1893) is a widespread species occurring from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Along its distribution, however, this bat is rare to uncommon. Here, we report its record for the state of Goiás, central-western Brazil, based on a specimen found in the mammal collection of the Instituto Nacional da Mata Atlântica, former Museu de Biologia Professor Mello Leitão. Diaemus youngii is known from 129 unique localities, with 81 (over 62%) in Brazil, followed by Peru (7), Bolivia (6) and Venezuela (6). It is absent in the west of the Andes, southern Argentina, Uruguay, and Caribbean islands, except for Trinidad.
