Las variaciones cromáticas son raras en vertebrados, particularmente mamíferos. El eritrismo, una condición caracterizada por la hiperpigmentación de feomelanina que confiere coloración rojiza a las estructuras epidérmicas ha sido documentado el oso hormiguero del norte (Tamandua mexicana) solo Panamá. En un agroecosistema Bosque Húmedo Tropical Cruces, Petén, Guatemala, reportamos observación individuo con eritrismo durante caminata rutinaria. Dado implicaciones ecológicas esta siguen...
The woolly false- vampire bat, Chrotopterus auritus, is a large carnivorous bat with wide distribution in the Americas. Besides roosting hollow trees and caves, this makes use of Mayan archaeological sites Yucatan Peninsula, where it threatened. Understanding microclimatic conditions that allow species to exploit these roosts important face increasing anthropogenic change region, such as land development tourist accommodations sites, which could threaten their suitability. We used...
Abstract The world's rich diversity of bats supports healthy ecosystems and important ecosystem services. Maintaining biological systems requires prompt identification threats to biodiversity immediate action protect species, which for wide‐ranging bat species that span geopolitical boundaries warrants international coordination. Anthropogenic forces drive the throughout North America world. We conducted an expert elicitation assess status 153 in Canada, United States, Mexico. used...
Abstract. neighboring countries. Recently, an increase in biological surveys and access to natural preserves has led a better understanding of species distributions Nicaragua across Central America. Here, we provide new departmental records for three didelphid, 18 chiropterans (Phyllostomidae, Molossidae, Vespertilionidae), one geomyid, mustelid from 21 sites the country. This work underscores need additional sampling fill gaps known distribution many species. information can facilitate or...
Necrophagy is a feeding strategy in which animals feed on carrion; most scavengers are facultative and can also be predators or consumers. For amblypygids, necrophagy poorly documented phenomenon there literature records of individuals three different species dead bats inside caves. In the present note, we document for first time necrophagic behavior whip spider Paraphrynus raptator (Pocock, 1902) was observed Otonyctomys hatti Anthony, 1932 (Rodentia: Cricetidae) yucatan poorwill,...
We found the four species of Nyctinomops Miller, 1902 living in sympatry central Guatemala. All specimens were dead under turbines a wind farm. femorosaccus (Merriam, 1889), was previously known from northern Mexico and southwestern United States, this record extends its distribution at least 1150 km southward, representing first for Guatemala Central America. Although N. aurispinosus (Peale, 1848) macrotis (Gray, 1839) already America (Honduras), these are records
Myotis is the most diverse genus of bats in Central America, with 10 species currently reported for Guatemala. Here, we present first record M. volans (H. Allen, 1866), and third auriculus Baker & Stains, 1955 Guatemala, both from cloud forest highlands Sierra de las Minas Biosphere Reserve. This new locality may serve as one southernmost habitats akin to North American ecosystems these two species. Our increases number Guatemala 105. findings underscore importance...
El género Metachirus tiene una amplia distribución en toda América, pero existen grandes vacíos su el norte de Mesoamérica, donde sólo ha sido documentado algunas localidades Honduras y México. Durante expediciones biológicas noreste Guatemala, recolectamos evidencia sobre la presencia del país. Observamos fotografiamos un individuo zarigüeya café cuatro ojos, M. myosuros, Reserva Hídrica Forestal Sierra Caral, Izabal, Guatemala. Nuestra observación myosuros llena las poblaciones norteñas...
Two species of Eumops Miller, 1906 are reported with voucher specimens from Guatemala: E. auripendulus (Shaw, 1800) and ferox (Gundlach, 1861). underwoodi Goodwin, 1940 has been known only by recordings. We collected dead in a wind farm. Additionally, we provide acoustic data, an allometric scaling hypothesis supports the identification , as it reflects largest body size for sympatric free-tailed bats. increase list bats Guatemala to 104 species.
Abstract The wrinkled-faced bat ( Centurio senex ) is an enigmatic species widely distributed in Mesoamerica. Besides its wide distribution it considered rare almost the entire range and little known about life history. We provide notes discuss on natural history of performed a model elevation profile order to understand patterns Northern Central America. found that C. inhabits ecosystems from lowlands 1943 m, with higher probability occurrence Pacific region mountains Guatemala which...
