Abstract. To determine the generality of avian diversity patterns, we investigated patterns elevational zonation shown by birds and mammals along eastern slope Andes Mountains in southeastern Peru. The strong environmental gradient sampled, entirely within Peru's Manu National Park Biosphere Reserve, supports highly diverse faunas. Elevational distributions 901 bird species, 129 bat twenty‐eight species native mice exhibit contrasting richness, composition, turnover. Birds bats showed smooth...

Anoura is a Neotropical genus of long-tongued bats containing at least 10 species, whose taxonomy has been revised substantially in recent years. Herein, we describe new species from the Cordillera Oriental Peruvian Andes, inhabiting montane forests (Yungas) 1900–3450 m altitude, along Río Cosñipata valley Manu Biosphere Reserve, Cuzco; where it sympatric with A. peruana, cultrata, and caudifer. This most similar to caudifer aequatoris, but distinguished them by unique combination...
The family Phyllostomidae is recognized as representing the most extensive radiation known in any mammalian family. Creating a Linnaean classification for this clade has been difficult and controversial. In two companion papers, we here propose revised drawing on strengths of genetic morphological data reflecting current ideas regarding phylogenetic relationships within monophyletic clade. We recognize 11 subfamilies (Macrotinae, Micronycterinae, Desmodontinae, Phyllostominae,...
At least 193 species of mammals are known to occur within the Manu Biosphere Reserve in south‐eastern Peru, contributing its stature as one world's richest protected areas. Bats (Order Chiroptera) comprise more than 42% (82 species) this diversity. Analyses bat capture records over a transect extending 3 km elevation show that most at widely distributed Amazon Basin. Few montane endemics or localized although exceptions generalization include two new science. Highland faunas tend be...
1. Species richness is a state variable of some interest in monitoring programmes but raw species counts are often biased due to imperfect detectability. Therefore, should quantify detectability for target taxa assess whether it varies over temporal or spatial scales. We assessed the potential tropical bat reliably estimate trends richness. 2. Using data from 25 assemblages Old and New World tropics, we estimated all an assemblage (mean proportion detected per sampling plot) individual...
To resolve phylogenetic relationships among species of Marmosa we analyzed DNA sequences from one mitochondrial and three nuclear genes for every member the nominotypical subgenus four Micoureus. As reported in previous studies, was found to be paraphyletic, whereas Micoureus recovered as a robustly supported clade. Species currently referred form strongly morphologically diagnosable groups. Based on these results recognize total five subgenera: Gray, 1821 (for macrotarsus, murina,...
Phyllostomidae (New World leaf-nosed bats), the second most speciose chiropteran family, is one of best-known and wellstudied groups. Due to ecological morphological diversity this comparative studies phyllostomids abound in literature, numerous systematic phylogenetic analyses have been published. Unfortunately, many these reached different conclusions concerning phyllostomid relationships, proposed classification schemes. This has led confusion, highlighted need for a well-supported stable...
Ichthyomyini, a morphologically distinctive group of Neotropical cricetid rodents, lacks an integrative study its systematics and biogeography. Since this tribe is crucial element the Sigmodontinae, most speciose subfamily Cricetidae, we conducted that includes recognized diversity (five genera 19 species distributed from southern Mexico to northern Bolivia). For report analyzed combined matrix composed four molecular markers (

Species diversity and species limits of the small fruit-eating bats, genus Dermanura (Phyllostomidae: Stenodermatinae) were examined. Estimates based on classical morphological criteria (current taxonomy) compared to estimates monophyly cytochrome-b sequence divergence. The most recent taxonomic list included nine species, whereas genetic contained 11: anderseni, azteca, bogotensis, cinerea, glauca, gnoma, phaeotis, rava, rosenbergi, tolteca, watsoni, which three (bogotensis Andersen, rava...
Introduction: Conservation of biodiversity requires an accurate accounting the entities (taxa) comprising that diversity, species. In ideal system, each entity would have a unique and unequivocal name integrate information from other disciplines within universal concept to ease communication. spite being comparatively well-known group, number recognized species Neotropical bats continues increase year, making organization management this knowledge difficult for non-taxonomist. Here, we...
Monodelphis (short-tailed opossums) is the most diverse genus in family Didelphidae, including at least 20 recognized species. This paper describes a new species of short-tailed opossum from lowland forests Loreto, northeastern Peru. The intermediate size and coloration between M. ronaldi, recently described on basis 1 specimen southeastern Peru, adusta, more common distributed across western Amazonia. However, sympatric only with emiliae. Diagnostic characters include overall large size,...
Examining species boundaries using data from multiple independent sources is an appropriate and robust method to identify genetically isolated evolutionary units.We used 5 sets-cytochrome b (Cytb), cytochrome c oxidase (COI), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), karyotypes, morphology-to estimate phylogenetic relationships limits within woolly bats, genus Kerivoula, Southeast Asia.We analyzed 54 specimens of Kerivoula Malaysia, assigned 6 the 10 currently reported...
The eastern slope of the tropical Andes and adjacent Amazonian lowlands are home to some world's richest biotas. Here we report on recent surveys inventories mammal bird faunas in Peru's Manu National Park Biosphere Reserve compile these records with prior literature, museum specimens, unpublished produce updated lists for both taxa. 222 species mammals 1005 birds recorded along an elevational transect largest any similarly sized area world. Mammals recently documented reserve include 147...
The order Chiroptera comprises all bat species and is the second-most diverse of mammals. Organization this diversity into well-delimited taxa embodying their evolutionary affinities remains challenging, particularly because relationships among various groups at most taxonomic levels are not yet fully resolved. Historically, systematic questions were approached independently using tools methodologies within researchers' individual expertise. With technological advances, trend has shifted to...
