“…Desta forma, a fragmentação florestal acaba por reduzir a disponibilidade e modificar a distribuição destes recursos na paisagem, o que pode levar os morcegos a explorarem outras áreas (Estrada & Coates-Estrada 2002, Evelyn & Stiles 2003 e até mesmo migrarem longas distâncias, explorando ilhas costeiras e áreas continentais (Costa et al 2006).…”

“…Little is known about the roosting habits of bats of the genus Sturnira. Recent research shows that they typically roost in tree cavities situated several meters above ground (Fenton et al 2000;Evelyn & Stiles 2003;OrtizRamírez et al 2006;Loayza & Loiselle 2008;Cortés-Delgado & Sosa 2014).…”

Sturnira is the most speciose genus of New World leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae). We name Sturnira adrianae, new species. This taxon is born polytypic, divided into a larger subspecies (S. a. adrianae) widespread in the mountains of northern and western Venezuela, and northern Colombia, and a smaller subspecies (S. a. caripana) endemic to the mountains of northeastern Venezuela. The new species inhabits evergreen, deciduous, and cloud forests at mainly medium (1000–2000 m) elevations. It has long been confused with S. ludovici, but it is more closely related to S. oporaphilum. It can be distinguished from other species of Sturnira by genetic data, and based on discrete and continuously varying characters. Within the genus, the new species belongs to a clade that also includes S. oporaphilum, S. ludovici, S. hondurensis, and S. burtonlimi. The larger new subspecies is the largest member of this clade. The two new subspecies are the most sexually dimorphic members of this clade. The smaller new subspecies is restricted to small mountain systems undergoing severe deforestation processes, therefore can be assigned to the Vulnerable (VU) conservation category of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

“…Since forest fragmentation and isolation tend to reduce the abundance and to modify the spatial distribution of these resources in the landscape, foraging patterns and habitat use by bat species are modified by these processes (ESTRADA & COATES-ESTRADA 2002, EVELYN & STILES 2003, QUESADA et al 2004.…”

Movements of bats (Mammalia, Chiroptera) in Atlantic Forest remnants in southern Brazil

We used mark and recapture techniques to evaluate movements of bats within and between three brazilian forest remnants. We captured bats with mist-nets in four 1 ha plots representing different degrees of isolation of riparian (two plots) and submontane (two plots) forests between July 2002 and June 2003. Using numbered aluminium tags, we marked 635 bats of seven species and 54 individuals of six species were recaptured. Overall, we recaptured Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) (short-tailed fruit bat) most frequently, especially in plots where they were banded in the riparian forest plots. These results suggest that this bat has restricted feeding areas, which are probably determined by the abundance of Piper Linnaeus (Piperaceae), its preferred food item. In contrast, species of the genus Artibeus Leach, 1821 exhibited few recaptures, suggesting high mobility and larger feeding areas. In fact Artibeus seems to use more of the forest remnants in their search for food, especially Ficus Linnaeus (Moraceae), the preferred food of this bat. Our results suggest that even small forest isolates are valuable for the maintenance of some bat species because they offer many of the resources they need or because they are spatially distributed in a pattern that allows use of the entire landscape.
