Bats are the second most diverse mammal order and they provide vital ecosystem functions (e.g., pollination, seed dispersal, nutrient flux in caves) services crop pest suppression). also important vectors of infectious diseases, harboring more than 100 different virus types. In present study, we compiled information on bat communities from Atlantic Forests South America, a species-rich biome that is highly threatened by habitat loss fragmentation. The ATLANTIC BATS data set comprises 135...
ABSTRACT Species lists are sources of information for studies both conservation and macroecology. It is, however, important to differentiate between relatively complete extremely incomplete ones. The aim this study was evaluate how sampling effort typically used in inventories affects the number bat species captured areas Atlantic Forest southeastern Brazil. We also evaluated if sampled sites, size area, (net hours) affect richness. previously reported data from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo,...
We examined Brazilian species of the nectar-feeding bats genus Lonchophylla (Phyllostomidae, Lonchophyllinae) to clarify identity bokermanni and determine distribution this other in eastern Brazil. As a result, we have found sufficient differences between Cerrado populations (including type locality L. bokermanni) inhabiting Atlantic Forest southeastern Brazil,which warrant treatment as separate new species. describe here peracchii, sp. nov. The appears be restricted Forest, whereas is only habitats.
Abstract Aim This study aims to contribute the identification of ecological determinants tropical moist forest montane biodiversity, analysing changes in structure bat assemblages along an elevational gradient and testing role species traits shaping those assemblages. Location Mountain ranges Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Methods We compiled a dataset with composition phyllostomid at 32 forested sites, ranging from 60 m 1,960 a.s.l. quantified how abundance diversity changed this gradient,...
A influência da luz lua no padrão de atividade morcegos já foi documentada em algumas espécies. Geralmente os reagem ao aumento iluminação reduzindo o uso espaços abertos e restringindo a forrageio ou duração do período atividade. Para estabelecer ciclo lunar na eficiência captura morcegos, realizada uma análise com 28 noites capturas sudeste Brasil. taxa riqueza espécies apresentaram relação linear inversa porção iluminada pela lua. Das mais freqüentemente capturadas, apenas duas...
Few sites have been well sampled for bats, and samplings in islands are even scarcer. Therefore, the objectives of present study were: (1) to list bat species Ilha da Marambaia; (2) compare richness, abundance biomass guilds found there; (3) analyse patterns species; (4) composition fauna among different kinds environment. To capture bats we used mist nets set five environments, totalising 3559.2 net-hours, during 37 nights between October 2006 August 2008. A total 1,133 captures were...
We report recapture data for phyllostomid bats in different types of forests, and at altitudes, obtained through long-term fieldwork southeastern Brazil. provide evidence long-distance movements, with moving up to 120 km from mountains the beach, an altitudinal variation 1,237 m. These movements demonstrate high mobility these represent longest distances recorded them so far Neotropics, besides reinforcing need capture programs aimed understanding movement dynamics bat populations.
Em 18 de julho 2007, um indivíduo Artibeus lituratus marcado com coleira plástica numerada foi recapturado no Parque Natural Municipal da Serra do Mendanha, município Rio Janeiro, 96 dias após ter sido capturado e na Ilha Itacuruça, sul Estado Janeiro. A distância linear entre os pontos marcação recaptura sugere deslocamento mínimo 35 km, sendo 500 m sobre o mar.
It is expected that rare species will be gradually added to biodiversity surveys over time and complete inventories include species. The objective in the present work test whether capture sequence of during a bat survey related abundance. Species with rates lower than 0.01x10-3 captures/hour-net were considered rare. At Ilha da Gipóia, accounted for 22.22% total and, at Rio das Pedras Reserve, they represented 30.00%. existence negative relationship between relative abundance first night...
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, regulators plant growth reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used bioindicators the impact land use. We gathered information ant species Atlantic Forest South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which is part SERIES papers, a compilation records from collections (18,713 records), unpublished (29,651 published...
In Brazil, restingas are under severe human-induced impacts resulting in habitat degradation and loss remain one of the less frequently studied ecosystems. The main objectives present study to describe bat community a restinga Paulo Cesar Vinha State Park, Guarapari municipality, state Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. Fieldwork was conducted twice month from August 2004 September 2005. A total sampling effort 40,300 m(2)/h, represents largest for bats date. Bats were sampled five...
Uma lista das espécies de morcegos da Reserva Rio Pedras, Município Mangaratiba, foi elaborada através capturas com redes neblina, desde setembro 1995 até junho 2008, totalizando 242424 h.rede esforço captura. O total 30 registrado em 1321 e recapturas. As predominantes foram Carollia perspicillata Artibeus lituratus. Seis famílias registradas: Emballonuridae, Noctilionidae, Phyllostomidae, Thyropteridae, Vespertilionidae Molossidae. Comparando seis listas disponíveis locais distantes 100...
Since the 1990s, attacks by hematophagous bats on humans and domestic animals have been reported both continent islands southern coast of Rio de Janeiro state. The density vampire was investigated based percentage captures during control Desmodus rotundus samplings bat diversity research. In present work, 203 individuals D. were captured from 1993 to 2009, which corresponds 11.88% all carried out for species in local villages 1.58% faunistic inventories. is high even recently occupied where...
Migration is defined as a seasonal and cyclic population movement observed in all animal classes studied mainly vertebrates. A considerable part of the knowledge on migration comes from birds, for which an important aspect their biology. In case bats, females usually migrate larger distances than males some species. The present study analyzes occurrence Pygoderma bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843) at different elevations, order to test pattern that evidences migration, using data states Espírito...
Domestic or free-ranging dogs ( Canislupusfamiliaris ) can have deleterious effects on wildlife, acting as predators competitors to native species. These impacts be highly important in fragmented pristine habitats well-preserved areas located human dominated landscapes and where biodiversity values are usually high, such those southeastern Brazil. Here we explored the level of overlap mismatch distributions activity patterns rural potential wild prey Didelphisaurita , Cuniculuspaca ;...

Pesquisadores brasileiros de morcegos concentram a atividade coleta com redes neblina na primeira metade da noite, onde é descrito que ocorre maior parte das espécies serem coletadas. Para avaliar os resultados quanto ao total capturado e riqueza em analisamos o horário captura inventário realizado no sudeste do Brasil. A amostragem compreendeu 570 capturas 25 três diferentes famílias. Das 18 foi possível calcular média capturas, apenas duas insetívoras aéreas apresentaram valores anteriores...
The geographic distribution of Blarinomys breviceps (Winge) includes few localities in forested areas the Atlantic Rainforest from Bahia state Brazil up to Misiones province Argentina. Here we add 14 new records for species region southeastern Brazil. These findings provided information on morphology, natural history and first karyological data species. During two short surveys, one Santuário da Serra Concórdia, Valença municipality another Fazenda Marimbondo, Mauá municipality, Rio de...
