Lists of Brazilian bats have been compiled since the late 19th century, with remarkable variation in criteria for species inclusion and use nomenclature. To update list extant bat that occur Brazil, Bat Research Society created Committee List Bats. Here we report first result work this Committee: a nine families, 68 genera, 178 documented occurrence including nomenclatural comments. We also present two additional lists: one doubtful records (10 species) other erroneous (six species). Since...
Neste estudo analisou-se a variação geográfica e não-geográfica de táxons bugios, gênero Alouatta Lacépède, 1799, que ocorrem no Brasil, com o objetivo esclarecer taxonomia do grupo. Para análise morfológica, examinou-se um total 1.286 espécimes mantidos em cinco museus brasileiros dois norte-americanos. O material consistiu basicamente peles, crânios ossos hióides; esqueletos preservados via úmida foram escassos. se baseou na qualitativa dos complexos morfológicos adição 18 morfométicos...
The Guiana Shield has large, preserved areas with high biological diversity. However, the knowledge of this biodiversity differs among regions Brazilian portion poorly known compared to French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, and Venezuela. In Amapá State, information on mammals is very heterogeneous represents a gap in distribution diversity some groups. We compiled list based inventories, voucher specimens deposited collection Fauna at Instituto de Pesquisas Científicas e Tecnológicas do Estado...
Tenuous descriptions of many species and subspecies mastiff bats make the taxonomy MolossusE. Geoffroy, 1805 confusing unstable. Molossus is one most diverse genera free tailed in pantropical family Molossidae Gervais, 1856. Given their impressive variation due to geography, sex, ontogeny, incomplete knowledge about boundaries, a comprehensive taxonomic revision genus needed. In addition, level genetic divergence, even among morphologically well-characterized low, often making diagnosis...
Molossidae is a large (roughly 100 species) pantropically distributed clade of swift aerially insectivorous bats for which the phylogeny remains relatively unknown and little studied compared with other speciose groups bats. We investigated phylogenetic relationships among 62 species, representing all extant molossid genera most subgenera, using 102 morphological characters from skull, dentition, postcrania, external morphology, tongue, penis, based on direct observation literature reports....
A new genus and species in the tribe Lonchophyllini, subfamily Glossophaginae (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) is described based on analysis of 4 specimens collected 3 different localities a semiarid area northeastern Brazil. The presence groove filiform papillae lateral side tongue places this taxon as member Lonchophyllini. Fourteen cranial dental characters distinguish from all other genera (Lonchophylla, Lionycteris, Platalina). characterized by inward-facing molars palate; loss cingulum P3...
A fauna de mamíferos do estado São Paulo consta 231 táxons, sendo este número uma estimativa da real diversidade presente na região, dado a falta amostragem em grandes extensões estado, e também revisões taxonômicas para determinados grupos. Ainda assim, nosso conhecimento aumentou 20% desde última 1998, principalmente relação aos quirópteros roedores. Estes dados são provenientes inventários faunísticos, estudo espécimes depositados coleções científicas oriundos taxonômicas. Também temos um...
Registramos 39 espécies de quirópteros na Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins e áreas adjacentes, nordeste estado Tocantins, durante 28 dias trabalho campo nos anos 2003 2008 estação chuvosa. Este estudo da quiropterofauna é um dos primeiros para o aumentando número conhecido esta região, com 29 registradas pela primeira vez no estado. As mais abundantes foram P. lineatus C. perspicillata, 23,5 15,4% total capturas. A diversidade nível família também foi alta: Phyllostomidae (26...
Abstract: Tropical forests are three-dimensional spaces with species and resources heterogeneously distributed. The vertical stratification of tropical forest biotas has been observed for several organisms regions, but, surprisingly, the structuring large areas important forests, such as Brazil's Atlantic Forest, remains poorly studied. Here, we addressed use different Forest strata by bats, comparing ensemble composition relative abundance between understorey canopy. A total 618 bats...
The low representativeness of the dog‐faced bats (genus Cynomops Thomas, ) in collections has constrained study diversity and evolutionary relationships within this genus. Taxonomic revisions some taxa, particular large‐sized abrasus (Temminck, ), are crucial for understanding phylogeny . A total four subspecies C. have been described to date, all widespread South America: a. mastivus (Thomas, brachymeles (Peters, 1865), cerastes ). Here, we evaluated phylogenetic , status using complete...
Bats are a complex and diverse group, making their study remarkably challenging. Several methods allow the of bats, e.g. mist-nets acoustic monitoring (AM). We compare use AM to inventory bats in mountainous region São Paulo state, Brazil. provide species list for area based on registered with both methodologies, comparing known obtained from literature. calculated beta diversity between methodologies evaluate dissimilarity composition sampled these methods. also performed PCA if bat fauna...
A new species of disk-winged bat (Thyroptera) is described from the savannah habitats Cerrado in Brazil and Rupununi Guyana. It most similar to primarily forest-dwelling T. lavali because shared morphology, including oval-shaped disks on thumbs as opposed circular other (T. tricolor discifera). However, has distinct countershading with dark brown dorsal fur that contrast pale ventral frosted tips. The have either white or yellowish fur. During examination comparative material for this...
We report the first record of Molossus aztecus from two localities in southeastern Brazil, Lavras and Viçosa, confirming presence this species South America; both are located state Minas Gerais. Samples contained M. molossus, permitting direct comparison taxa. At sites, original vegetation was Cerrado-Atlantic Forest ecotone bats were captured at elevations 650 to 1,100 m. compared our specimens Brazil with Mexico, molossus several parts coibensis Panama, barnesi French Guiana, currentium...
The genus Eumops is the most diverse genera of molossid bats in Neotropics. In Peru this widely distributed and represented by nine species: E. auripendulus, delticus, hansae, maurus, nanus, patagonicus, perotis, trumbulli, wilsoni. After several years mammalian diversity surveys coastal desert western slopes southwestern Peru, a specimen was collected whose unique set traits allows us to assert that deserves be described as new species. Based on molecular morphological evidence, species...
Species of Thyroptera are insectivorous foliage-roosting bats that inhabit lowland moist forests (including gallery formations in savanna landscapes) from Mexico to southeastern Brazil. Although four species currently recognized, only one or two were previously known occur at most localities. Recent inventory work northeastern Peru has documented the local cooccurrence Thyroptera, which is here described as new. The new (T. wynneae), also occurs Brazil, can easily be recognized by a...

Com alta diversidade biológica e elevado grau de preservação, a porção norte da Bacia Amazônica, em especial o Estado do Amapá, são ainda relativamente pouco conhecidos relação à sua fauna flora. Estudos apontam que Amapá possui regiões classificadas como ou muito importância para realização inventários na Amazônia Brasileira, havendo grandes lacunas destas amostragens. De forma suprir parte necessidades, três das principais unidades conservação Estado, Parque Nacional Montanhas Tumucumaque,...
