“…Measurements of our records concur with earlier reports from Brazil (Thomas 1913;Nunes et al 2006;Tavares et al 2012), Peru (Velazco et al 2011), French Guiana (Masson and Cosson 1992), Nicaragua (Baker and Jones 1975), Costa Rica (Starrett and de la Torre 1964;Starrett and Casebeer 1968;Reid and Langtimm 1993), and Colombia (Ochoa et al 1994) and show no evidence of notable variation throughout the species range (Table 2). Therefore, the external and craneo-dental measurements suggest that despite the lack of material available the morphological dissimilarities (see above) do not necessary represent geographic variations or different taxonomic entities as suggested by Velazco et al (2011).…”

“…All specimens have the external and cranial diagnosed characters mentioned above (Figures 2 and 3; Jones and Hood 1993;Hood and Gardner 2008). However, our specimens show variation in some recently reported characters, such as a diastema between the upper premolars, a naked patch of skin over the front head, and a posterior ventral process of the mandible (Velazco et al 2011;Tavares et al 2012). In our material, the diastema between the upper premolars remains, but do not have a naked patch of skin over the front head.…”

We confirm the occurrence of the rare bat Cyttarops alecto in piedmont and alluvial plain savannas of the Orinoco Llanos. Our records are the first for the species in Colombia in 22 years. The species was known only from Neotropical rainforests and one locality in the Cerrado formation in Brazil. Our records are supported with voucher specimens that match the diagnosis and variability described for the species. With these records, we reduce the geographical distribution gap between known Trans-Andean and Cis-Andean localities of this species in the northern Neotropics.

“…Porém, muitas vezes espécies consideradas raras podem ser apenas pouco capturáveis (Velazco et al 2011). Além disso, espécies raras (ou pouco capturáveis) não são as melhores opções quando trata-se de bioindicadores (Jones et al 2009).…”

Morcegos (Mammalia: Chiroptera) da região do Médio Rio Teles Pires, Sul da Amazônia, Brasil

A Amazônia é a maior floresta tropical do mundo e pelo menos 147 espécies de morcegos ocorrem neste ambiente. A despeito desta grande riqueza, a diversidade de morcegos da Amazônia é pobremente conhecida e existem grandes lacunas neste conhecimento. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi descrever a assembleia de morcegos ocorrentes na região do Médio Teles Pires (MTP), no sul da Amazônia. Além disso, avaliou-se a similaridade dessa assembleia em relação a 14 assembleias estudadas em outras localidades amazônicas e avaliou-se a correlação entre as similaridades destas localidades e suas distâncias. Trinta e três espécies de morcegos foram registradas, representando 71% das espécies estimadas (Jackknife2). As três espécies com maior abundância relativa foram: Carollia perspicillata, Pteronotus parnellii e Phyllostomus hastatus que somadas contam com mais de 50% das capturas. O grupo funcional dos frugívoros obteve o maior número de espécies capturadas. Foi encontrada uma correlação negativa entre as distâncias e as similaridades das assembleias de morcegos amazônicos (r = -0,22; p = 0,014). A distância geográfica pode explicar apenas 6% da similaridade entre as assembleias analisadas, ainda assim, as similaridades destas assembleias permitem que as mesmas sejam agrupadas por suas distâncias geográficas. Além disso, a fauna de morcegos do MTP é diferenciada de outras áreas da Amazônia o que lhe confere um papel especial na conservação dos morcegos amazônicos.

Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from the Middle Teles Pires River region, Southern Amazonia, Brazil ABSTRACTAmazonia is the largest tropical rainforest in the world and at least 147 bat species occur in this environment. Despite its richness, the diversity of bat fauna is poorly known for this region and there are large gaps in its knowledge. This study aims to describe the bat assemblage of the Middle Teles Pires River (MTP) region, southern Amazonia. Furthermore, we evaluated the similarity of this assemblage in relation to 14 assemblages studied in other Amazonian localities, and correlations were found between the similarity values among the sites and their geographic distances. Thirty-three bat species were recorded, accounting for 71% of the estimated species richness (Jackknife2). The three species that had the higher relative abundance values were Carollia perspicillata, Pteronotus parnellii and Phyllostomus hastatus, which together accounted for more than 50% of the captures. The frugivore functional group had the highest number of recorded species. A negative correlation was found between the geographic distances and the similarities among the Amazonian bat assemblages (r = -0.22; p = 0.014). Geographic distance could explain only 6% of the similarities among the analyzed assemblages, even though, the similarity found allowed them to be grouped by their distances. Besides, the MTP bat fauna is different from other Amazonian areas, which gives it a special role in the Amazonian ba...

“…Uno de los grupos más complicados de estudiar son los murciélagos insectívoros que cazan sus presas al vuelo (Kalko et al 1998), formado principalmente por las familias Emballonuridae y Molossidae, los cuales son difíciles de registrar por medio de métodos tradicionales (redes de niebla) y ello repercute considerablemente en esclarecer sus estatus taxonómicos por escases de especímenes en Museos (Freeman 1981, Jones & Hood 1993. Por consiguiente, especímenes recientemente colectados de este grupo de murciélagos usualmente suelen concluir en ampliaciones de distribución de especies importantes o en la descripción de nuevas especies (Díaz 2011, Velazco et al 2011, Medina et al 2014.…”

Presentado:27/02/2017 Aceptado:06/10/2017 Publicado online: 20/12/2017 AbstractHerein we report the second record in Peru of Cyttarops alecto (Emballonuridae) and Eumops wilsoni (Molossidae), both little known bats of Neotropical region. Reports are based on specimens collected in Lambayeque and Loreto Departments, and their geographical distribution are extended in Peru.
