“…A predominance of insectivorous bats in the Caatinga has been observed in the states of Piauí (Gregorin et al 2008;Novaes et al 2015), Ceará (Willig & Mares 1989;Novaes & Laurindo 2014) and Paraíba (Zeppelini et al 2017). In the present study, the insectivorous guild was abundant in the diurnal roosts, although no Molossus molossus were captured in the mist nets.…”

“…Even so, a reduced abundance of bats appears to be typical of the Caatinga biome (Silva et al 2004;Gregorin et al 2008;Novaes & Laurindo 2014;Beltrão et al 2015;Novaes et al 2015;Rocha et al 2017;Zeppelini et al 2017), where richness may typically be between 15 and 25 species (Novaes & Laurindo 2014). Surveys conducted at other sites in Bahia have also resulted in the capture of small numbers of bats.…”

Morcegos (Mammalia, Chiroptera) de uma área de Caatinga do sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil Resumo: O presente estudo fornece um inventário das espécies de morcegos capturados no município de Caetité, no sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil. No total, foram capturados 68 indivíduos de morcegos, pertencentes a nove espécies e três famílias. A riqueza de espécies estimada para a área através do estimador Jackknife 1, foi 9.9. Os morcegos filostomidaeos foram os mais abundantes, e a espécie Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) foi a dominante. Nossos resultados são consistentes com estudos anteriores realizados na Bahia e no bioma Caatinga, fornecendo dados sobre a estrutura local da comunidade de morcegos. Além disso, destaca a importância de inventários rápidos para compreender a diversidade e distribuição da fauna de morcegos.Palavras chave: Assembléia de morcegos, Caatinga, Caetité, inventário rápido.Abstract: The present study provides an inventory of the bat species recorded in the municipality of Caetité, in southwestern Bahia, Brazil. Sixty-eight individuals were captured, belonging to nine species and three families. The Jackknife 1 procedure estimated a species richness of 9.9. The phyllostomid bats were the most abundant, and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) was captured most frequently. Our results are consistent with previous studies conducted in Bahia and the Caatinga, providing data on the local bat community structure. It also highlights the importance of rapid inventories for the understanding of the diversity and distribution of the bat fauna.

Mormoopids are a small group of insectivorous bats largely distributed from the southwestern United States throughout Central and South America. They occupy a wide variety of habitats, and in Brazil have usually been associated with habitats in the Amazon, Cerrado, or Caatinga biomes. Nevertheless, most of the information compiled so far to infer their distributional limits is based on roosting colonies occasionally found in caves or on inventories using bat mist netting, which is known to be an ineffective method for capturing aerial insectivorous bats. In this contribution, we present new occurrence records of mormoopid bats based on acoustic surveys in the Caatinga and Cerrado biomes and make an extensive literature review to provide an up-to-date distribution of these bats in Brazil. We additionally describe important parameters of the echolocation calls of mormoopids across the geographical scope of our study, contrasting our data with published information to provide a better overview of the intraspecific acoustic variation of these bat species. Our acoustic data reveal a larger area of occurrence of mormoopids in Brazil than previously known, confirming new records for two states.
