“…The species richness recorded in the present study (S = 23) was higher than those found in previous studies in the Atlantic forest from northeastern Brazil, which recorded 13 (Falcão et al 2005), 14 (Brito and Bocchiglieri 2012), 16 (both Mikalauskas 2005and Rocha et al 2017a, and 18 species (Rocha et al 2010). The sampling effort applied during the present study may not be considered satisfactory, given that the cumulative species curve had yet to reach the asymptote.…”

“…It is interesting to note, however, that the estimated species richness was similar to that recorded in the present study adding mist-nets and active search (i.e., 23 species). Nonetheless, the relatively large number of species recorded is the result of combined sampling strategies, such as the nightly change in transect and the sampling of different habitats as much as possible (see Rocha et al 2017a).…”

“…In Sergipe, northeastern Brazil, less than 10% of its original Atlantic forest cover remains standing (Santos et al 2013;Marques et al 2017). Up to now, 55 bat species have been recorded in the state (see Bocchiglieri and Bezerra 2018;Rocha et al 2017aRocha et al , b, 2018Soares et al 2017). However, many areas have yet to be surveyed adequately, preferentially using combined methods already known to be complementary, such as stratified or canopy mist-nets (see Pech-Canche et al 2011), ultrasound acoustics (see Silva and Bernard 2017), and active search for diurnal shelters (see Simmons and Voss 1998).…”

Despite advances in recent decades, the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil is still one of the least studied regions of the country, regarding, for instance, the bat fauna. The present study reports on the results of a rapid survey of the bat fauna of a fragmented landscape in the Atlantic Forest of eastern Sergipe, in the legal forest reserve of Fazenda Santana, a commercial sugarcane plantation located in the adjoining municipalities of Japoatã and Pacatuba. We recorded 272 bats belonging to 23 species and four families, from which 265 individuals from 18 species from two families (Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae) were captured in the mist-nets, and seven individuals of six species from four families (Emballonuridae, Molossidae, Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae) were recorded during the active searches. This species richness was higher than that found in previous studies in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil. Lasiurus blossevillii and Micronycteris minuta were recorded in Sergipe for the first time, increasing to 57 the number of bat species known to occur in this state. The use of alternative strategies (such as active search and sampling one night per point, seeking to areas with greater availability of resources) in rapid surveys may contribute to the compilation of a more robust sampling, reinforcing the usefulness of this approach for the inventory of the bat fauna of a given region.

“…In addition, the data available on the distribution of chiropterans in this ecosystem are restricted to southern Brazil, in the states of Santa Catarina (Carvalho et al 2009), São Paulo (Alves 2008;Fogaça & Reis 2008), Rio de Janeiro (Gomes et al 2016), and Espírito Santo (Luz et al 2009;Oprea et al 2009). In the northeast of Brazil, only Sergipe has data on bats in restinga (Rocha et al 2017) Bats are important providers of ecosystem services, acting as pollinators, dispersers and consuming insects, including those considered as pests. Given that the knowledge of the chiropterofauna of Rio Grande do Norte is still very incipient, that restinga is essential for the maintenance of biodiversity and that bats play an important role in this ecosystem.…”

Atualmente, quarenta e uma espécies de morcegos são conhecidas para as restingas do Brasil. No entanto, a maioria dos estudos sobre morcegos das restingas são limitados às regiões sul e sudeste do Brasil, deixando a região nordeste com uma lacuna de conhecimento. O presente artigo apresenta dados sobre morcegos capturados em três áreas de restinga do município de Tibau do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, levantados a partir de uma amostragem de curta duração. Redes de neblina para captura de morcegos foram armadas próximas ao solo e sobre o corpo d’água. Foram capturados 38 indivíduos de seis espécies de duas famílias: cinco Phyllostomidae e um Molossidae. O morcego Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) foi a espécie mais abundante. Apresentamos aqui a primeira lista de morcegos capturados em área de restinga para o Rio Grande do Norte.Palavras chave: Molossidae, Nordeste, Novo registro, Phyllostomidae, Tibau do Sul.Abstract: Currently, forty-one species of bats are known to occur in the restingas of Brazil. However, most studies on restingas’ bats are limited to the south and southeastern regions of Brazil, leaving the northeastern region with a gap of knowledge. The present article presents data on bats captured in three areas of restinga of the municipality of Tibau do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, collected from a short-term sampling. Mist nets were used to capture bats near the ground and the water bodies. Were captured 38 individuals of six species and two families: five Phyllostomidae and one Molossidae. The bat Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) was the most abundant species. We present here the first list of bats captured in the restinga area for the Rio Grande do Norte State.Key words: Molossidae, New record, Northeast, Phyllostomidae, Tibau do Sul.

“…This experimental field has 911 ha, of which 763.37 ha are destined for the Caju Reserve (which is considered a Protected Area under the Brazilian National System of Conservation Units), which is bordered by the Vaza-Barris and Paruí rivers. The reserve is frequently used for environmental education actions aimed at students, which highlight the trail's importance, as well as for scientific researches related to biodiversity identification and conservation projects [11,15,16,17].…”
