The only previously known record for the Mato Grosso state is more than 50 years old, in a Pantanal area. This paper provides the first record of the species in a Cerrado area of this state, in the municipality of Nova Xavantina, west central Brazil.

  • 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).

    Nicaragua Mammal Extravaganza, Feb 4-17, 2015 Led by Fiona Reid and Jose Gabriel Martinez, with Mike Richardson and Paul Carter. Photos by Fiona except where noted. Feb 04, Laguna del Apoyo (LA) Our trip officially started on Feb 5, but we all landed a day early, with Paul arriving in the late morning. I asked Jose to see if he could get some help setting up nets and still find time to collect me and Mike from the airport at 9 p.m. We met up with Paul and two friends of Jose’s at a location near our hotel on the Laguna just after 10 p.m. They had caught 7 species of bats, including Common Vampire and Central American Yellow Bat. Of note Paul had also seen 3 Southern Spotted Skunks, a Vesper Rat, Common Opossum and a Central Southern Spotted Skunk (Paul Carter) American Woolly Opossum (last of which obligingly stayed around for me and Mike). We were off to a great start! Feb 05, Apoyo and Montibelli (MB) We spent the morning at Apoyo, where Mantled Howlers and Variegated Squirrel are easily seen. In the afternoon we went to Montibelli Private Reserve. We located roosting Lesser White-lined Bats on a tree trunk and some Jamaican Fruit-eating Bats hidden in leaves of a Dracaena plant (we caught both these species later too). After seeing a Jamaican Fruit-eating Bat, good variety of dry forest birds stained yellow with pollen and our first Central American Agouti, we set up a few nets and caught Greater and Pale Spear-nosed Bats along with various other common species (see list).

  • 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.
