  • 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.

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).

  • Mammals of Central Mexico Juan Cruzado Cortes and Venkat Sankar (Author; [email protected]) August 5-10, 2019
    Venkat Sankar 2019 1 Mammals of Central Mexico Juan Cruzado Cortes and Venkat Sankar (author; [email protected]) August 5-10, 2019 Beautiful scenery at Barrancas de Aguacatitla; Mexican Volcano Mouse; Mexican Ground Squirrel Introduction While searching for mammals in Oaxaca this March, Juan told me that a mammalogist friend of his in Tabasco, Dr. Rafael Avila Flores, had found some amazing bats in an area of karst near the state’s border with Chiapas. These included a number of impressive and distinctive species I’ve long wanted to see, like the Sword-nosed Bat and White-winged Vampire Bat. I had to visit, and with few breaks this summer thanks to academic commitments, this was the perfect choice for a long weekend’s trip. Juan suggested we spend a few days in Mexico City with another biologist friend, Melany Aguilar Lopez, to find several endemics of the Mexican Plateau, and then connect to Tabasco. And so a plan was formed! Itinerary 8/5/19: Mexico City—RB Barrancas de Metztitlan (O/N UMA Santana) 8/6/19: RB Barrancas de Metztitlan—PN el Chico (O/N Mineral de Chico) 8/7/19: PN el Chico—Tlaxco—Area Communitaria Milpa Alta (O/N San Pablo Oztotepec) 8/8/19: Milpa Alta—Villahermosa (flight)—Ejido Poana (O/N Tacotalpa) 8/9/19: Full day exploring Ejido Poana (O/N Tacotalpa) 8/10/19: Early deparature from Villahermosa Key sites RB Barrancas de Metztitlan This scenic area of deep canyons spans a diverse range of habitats from dry pine-oak forest on the rim, into high desert, and eventually tropical deciduous forest on the canyon floor.

  • Bioacoustical Characterization of Phyllostomidae Bats in Colombian Low Montane Rain Forest
    Rev. Biodivers. Neotrop. ISSN 2027-8918 e-ISSN 2256-5426 Abril-Junio 2017; 7 (2): 119-33 119 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18636/bioneotropical.v7i2.600 Bioacoustical characterization of Phyllostomidae bats in Colombian low montane rain forest Caracterización bioacústica de murciélagos Filostómidos en un bosque húmedo montano bajo colombiano Paula Catalina Pinilla-Cortés1, Abelardo Rodríguez-Bolaños2 Abstract The emission of ultrasound allows bats make decisive tasks associated with the interpretation of their su- rroundings, displacement, orientation and obtaining food. In the case of Phyllostomidae bats, the emissions show high frequencies and low intensities, similarly they complement largely by the sense of smell and in a less proportion, by sight. Objective: This study presents the characterization of bioacoustics emissions for seven species: Artibeus jamaicensis (Leach, 1821) Carollia brevicauda (Schinz, 1821), Carollia pers- picillata (Linnaeus, 1758), Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767), Phyllostomus discolor (Wagner, 1843) Sturnira luisi (Davis, 1980), Sturnira lilium (E.Geoffroy, 1810). Methodology: The acoustic records have been reported in a humid forest in San Francisco,Cundinamarca, Colombia, using the autonomous recorder Song Meter SM2 Bat (Wild Life Acoustics). The emissions were obtained applying closed recording booth space flight method and after, they were visualized using Sonobat 2.9.4 Software.Results: Spectrograms were obtained and a consensus among the spectral values recorded by each specie, with the mean and the standard deviation, then some values are contrasted. Conclusion: Recognition of modulated structures, numerous harmonics and high frequencies. Likewise, after making contrast of spectral values, which are mainly referred to the high or initial frequency (Hif), low or initial frequency (Lof) and duration (ms), with different authors, it study recognizes the need to expand studies that take into account characteristics of Phyllostomidae individuals in field or under controlled conditions.
