  • Costa Rica Trip Report: Apr/May 2019
    Costa Rica Trip Report: Apr/May 2019 Julio Balona Itinerary 1st Route . La Selva Biological Station . Tirimbina Lodge . Bosque de Paz Lodge . Paraiso Quetzal Lodge 2nd Route . Danta Corcovado Lodge . La Leona Eco Lodge . Saladero Eco Lodge . Hacienda Baru/Damas Island/Damas Caves Some notes . Lodges were booked online beforehand, either directly on the lodge website or through Booking.com. These were all booked separately except for Danta/La Leona/Saladero which was a three lodge package for which we were collected at Puerto Jimenez and returned there afterward. We hired a car from Alamo for the first route ending at Puerto Jimenez, and then again a week later after returning from Danta/La Leona/Saladero for the second route. Alamo is the only big name car rental company in Puerto Jimenez as far as I know. We (my wife and I) landed at the San Jose airport around lunch time. After drawing colones from one of the ATMs which would be useful for certain purchases, we then bought a SIM card with the intention of using the Waze navigation app. Unfortunately the network was down so the card would only be activated the next day. We therefore took the GPS option on the hire car, but this worked well enough. A shuttle was available to take us from the Alamo booth at the San Jose airport to their offices a few kilometres away. This was a pleasant surprise because we did not know about this service and had planned to do so by taxi. Our experience with Alamo was quite satisfactory overall although both the cars we used were far from new (not serious) and it now appears to me that we may have been charged a collection fee that was never discussed with us (serious).

Objective: To describe T. cruzi infection in bats from the states of Campeche and Yucatán, México. Materials and methods: Captures were made from March to November, 2017, at three sites in Yucatán and one in Campeche. Up to four mist nets on two consecutive nights were used for the capture. The bats’ species were identified and euthanasia was performed to collect kidney and heart samples for total DNA extraction. Trypanosoma cruzi infection was detected by conventional PCR with the amplification of a fragment belonging to theT . cruzi DNA nuclear. Results: Eighty-six bats belonging to five families (Vespertilionidae, Noctilionidae, Mormoopidae, Phyllostomidae, and Molossidae) and 13 species (Rhogeessa aeneus, Received: 07/04/2020 Noctilio leporinus, Pteronotus davyi, P.

  • Food Choice in Frugivorous Bats
    Food Choice in Frugivorous Bats Lauren Riegler Department of Biology, Trinity University ABSTRACT Frugivorous bats are important dispersers for many tropical plants and their conservation depends on furthering knowledge in their foraging behaviors and food preferences (Brosset et al. 1996). This study investigated a possible fruit preference of five frugivorous bat species (Carollia brevicauda, Artibeus lituratus, Artibeus jamaicensis, Artibeus toltecus and Platyrrhinus vittatus) found in Monteverde, Costa Rica among three wild fruit species (Solanum umbellatum, Solanum aphyodendron and Ficus pertusa) and two cultivated fruit species (Musa accuminata and Carica papaya). Fruits were presented to the bats in the Bat Jungle of Monteverde, where the foraging of bats can be closely observed. Artibeus toltecus showed a slight trend of preference for Solanum umbellatum over Solanum aphyodendron. However, due to small sample size and pseudoreplication there was no significant preference for any of the fruits by any of the bat species. RESUMEN Los murciélagos frugívoros son dispersores importantes de muchas plantas tropicales y su conservación depende del incremento de nuestro conocimiento de su comportamiento de forrajeo y preferencias dietéticas (Brosset et al. 1996). Este estudio investigó la posible predilección de cinco murciélagos frugívoros (Carollia brevicauda, Artibeus lituratus, Artibeus jamaicensis, Artibeus toltecus y Platyrrhinus vittatus) por tres especies silvestres de frutas Solanum umbellatum, Solanum aphyodendron y Ficus pertusa) y dos especies de frutas cultivadas (Musa accuminata y Carica papaya) en Monteverde, Costa Rica. Las frutas fueron presentadas a los murciélagos en la Jungla de Murciélagos de Monteverde, donde fue posible observar detenidamente el compartimiento de los murciélagos. Artibeus toltecus mostró una tendencia leve de preferencia por Solanum umbellatum.

He¡ner Ã, Gimseong Koay, Henry E. He¡ner Department of Psychology, University of Toledo, Toledo, OH 43606, USA Received 10 March 2003; accepted 23 July 2003 Abstract We determined the audiogram of the Jamaican fruit-eating bat (Phyllostomidae: Artibeus jamaicensis), a relatively large (40^50 g) species that, like other phyllostomids, uses low-intensity echolocation calls. A conditioned suppression/avoidance procedure with a fruit juice reward was used for testing. At 60 dB SPL the hearing range of A. jamaicensis extends from 2.8 to 131 kHz, with an average best sensitivity of 8.5 dB SPL at 16 kHz. Although their echolocation calls are low-intensity, the absolute sensitivity of A. jamaicensis and other ‘whispering’ bats does not differ from that of other mammals, including other bats. The high-frequency hearing of A. jamaicensis and other Microchiroptera is slightly higher than expected on the basis of selective pressure for passive sound localization. Analysis suggests that the evolution of echolocation may have been accompanied by the extension of their high-frequency hearing by an average of one-half octave. With respect to low-frequency hearing, all bats tested so far belong to the group of mammals with poor low-frequency hearing, i.e., those unable to hear below 500 Hz. ß 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Jamaican fruit bat, Atribeus jamaicensis. [http://www.aquablog.ca/2014/08/featured-animal-the-jamaican-fruit-bat/ downloaded 4 March 2015] TRAITS. These are medium sized species of bats, which weigh between 40-60g and grow to a length of 75-85mm with a wing span that varies between 48-67mm. The back of their body is covered with an ashy shade of brown, greyish or black, short, soft, pleasant smelling fur with white hair roots that gives the bat a faintly hoary (frosted) appearance (Fig. 1). Their ventral underfur is usually paler in colour than its dorsal underfur and back fur (Rafferty 2011). Their genus is recognized by their four pale white facial stripes above and below their eyes (Fleming et al. 1972). Their wings are broad and displays a dark grey or black colour. They have an interfemoral membrane that is thin, hairless and has a short calcar. They have a protruding nose leaf and lacks an external tail. Their ears are small, pointed and rigid with a jagged tragus. Their bottom lip is covered in warts and has a large one in the middle (Ortega and Castro-Arellano 2001). Both the bottom and top lips of the Jamaican fruit bat has sebaceous glands (Dalquest et al. 1952). Both males and females are alike (Morrison 2011).

BA KER AB STRACT In the past decade, seven new species and one new genus have been described in the Lonchophyllinae (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), increasing the number of recognized taxa in the subfamily to four genera and 18 species. During this time, three studies, both morphologic and genetic, indicated the genus Lonchophylla was paraphyletic with respect to other genera in the subfamily. Using tissues from museum voucher specimens, including the holotypes of specimens of Xeronycteris vieirai and Lonchophylla pattoni, issues related to the previous paraphyletic assemblages were addressed. A combination of mitochondrial (Cytb), nuclear data (Fgb-I7, TSHB-I2), chromosome diploid and fundamental numbers, and morphologic characters was used to determine whether all species of Lonchophylla share a common ances- tor after diverging from other genera in the subfamily. Based on gene sequence data, a basal, monophyletic, statistically supported radiation within the subfamily Lonchophyllinae was observed in all phylogenetic analyses.
