The nectar-feeding bats of the genus Anoura are widely distributed in the Neotropics, but are most speciose in the Andes. Anoura cultrata is a rare mid-elevation bat occurring in South and Central America. It is thought to be one of the few bat species exemplifying a latitudinal cline in body size. We address three systematic and biogeographic questions: 1) is the geographic variation in A. cultrata continuous, as argued to justify its current monotypic status? 2) do ecogeographic barriers to dispersal affect such variation? and 3) how do the genetic divergence and biogeography of the species compare to those of other members of the genus? To answer these questions, we used morphometric analyses, ecological niche modeling, and DNA barcoding. We divided the samples of A. cultrata into six geographic groups, delimited by topographic depressions separating mountain systems. We did not find significant correlations between body size and the geographic coordinates within five groups. Therefore, we conclude that ecogeographic barriers to dispersal between the regions occupied by such groups influenced morphometric variation in A. cultrata, and that despite its general north to south reduction in body size, the species does not show continuous clinal variation. A recent phylogenetic study of the genus Anoura concluded that it contains seven valid species. Our DNA barcoding analysis and morphological examination indicated that at least 10 species should be recognized, including A. peruana distinct from A. geoffroyi, and A. aequatoris and A. luismanueli distinct from A. caudifer. Moreover, we show that Central and South American populations of A. cultrata differ from each other at least at the subspecific level, thus we respectively refer to them as A. cultrata cultrata and as A. c. brevirostrum. Similarly, we refer to Central American and Mexican populations of ‘A. geoffroyi’ as A. peruana lasiopyga, and to their South American counterparts as A. p. peruana. The range of the latter subspecies reaches northeastern Venezuela. The Andes from southern Colombia to northern Peru appear to be the ancestral range of the genus.

“…Ortiz de la Puente (1951) reportó un total de 14 especies de murciélagos en zonas urbanas de Lima, mientras que Mena & Williams (2002) analizaron los patrones reproductivos y diversidad de los murciélagos en el campus de la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (UNALM) durante los años 1995 y 1996. Por su parte, Bonifaz et al (2020) registraron una especie de ectoparásito en Glossophaga soricina dentro de dicho campus.…”

Uso de hábitat de los murciélagos insectívoros en un bosque artificial de La Molina y alrededores (Lima, Perú)

Lima ha sido objeto de intensos procesos de urbanización en sus periferias. Al ser una ciudad altamente poblada y ubicada en el desierto, sus áreas verdes son limitadas y los ecosistemas naturales enfrentan una presión constante de la expansión urbana. En las grandes ciudades, la mastofauna nativa se desplaza a las áreas verdes proveedoras de recursos. Este proceso ecológico en murciélagos insectívoros ha sido poco estudiado, especialmente en la forma en la que aprovechan los componentes físicos y biológicos de un ambiente urbano en el desierto del Pacífico de Perú. En el presente estudio se evaluó de manera preliminar las diferencias de uso de hábitat de los murciélagos insectívoros en un campus universitario de La Molina (Lima, Perú). Se grabó de forma activa las señales de ecolocación en tiempo real con un detector ultrasónico en 11 transectos de una sesión, durante los meses de abril y mayo de 2018. Se caracterizaron los sitios evaluados considerando tres variables que no son excluyentes entre sí: la presencia de refugios potenciales, la presencia cuerpos de agua y el tipo de cobertura vertical (bosque, borde y pradera). Se registraron tres especies de la familia Molossidae: Tadarida brasiliensis, Mormopterus kaliinowskii y Promops davisoni. Nuestros resultados evidenciaron una asociación entre el número de pases y el tipo de cobertura vertical. Mormopterus kaliinowskii fue la especie con mayor actividad acústica en espacios abiertos con refugio potencial y estuvo presente en todos los tipos de hábitat. La actividad de M. kalinowskii y T. brasiliensis fue mayor de lo esperado en el borde y menor en el resto de coberturas. P. davisoni fue la especie con menor actividad acústica, registrada únicamente en los cultivos de algodón. La presencia de estas especies confirma que este campus continúa siendo un área urbana importante para los murciélagos por su oferta de recursos.

Polyctenidae bugs are rarely studied, hematophagous, and highly specialized ectoparasites of bats. There are only 32 described species worldwide, including six species in the Afrotropical region. Knowledge on these parasites is limited, and most studies are restricted to the New World polyctenid species. Here we report additional records of Adroctenes horvathi from Kenya and South Africa, as well as Hypoctenes faini from Rwanda. We present an updated list of published polyctenid records in the Afrotropical region indicating their host specificity and their geographical distribution. We report global infection patterns and sex ratio of polyctenids based on previously published data, including Old and New World species. Lastly, we demonstrate the first molecular phylogeny of Polyctenidae, showing their phylogenetic relationship with the closely related family Cimicidae.
