Item Chiropterofauna (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from the Altamiro de Moura Pacheco State Park, Goiás, Brazil(2024-01-09) Carvalho, Erica Santos de; Pena, Simone Almeida; Alexandre, Rafaela Jemely Rodrigues; Dias-Silva, Karina; Bastos, Rogério Pereira; Oprea, Monik; Brito, Daniel; Silva, Jessica Conceição da; Vieira, Thiago BernardiThe Brazilian Cerrado is undergoing important changes. It is estimated that 70% of its natural area has converted to human use. The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats is considered the main cause of species loss in ecosystems. However, the lack of knowledge of biodiversity makes it difficult to design effective conservation measures. This article presents a list and an estimate of the richness of bats in the Parque Estadual Altamiro de Moura Pacheco (PEAMP) in Goiás. All collected bats belong to the Phyllostomidae family, with Carollia perspicillata (67%) and Artibeus planirostris (18%) representing 86% of the captured individuals.Item Is banning Persistent Organic Pollutants efficient? A quantitative and qualitative systematic review in bats(2024-07-11) Monteiro-Alves, Priscila Stéfani; Lourenço, Elizabete Captivo; Meire, Rodrigo Ornellas; Bergallo, Helena GodoyAmong the several noxious characteristics of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is a low environmental degradation rate, as they remain in the environment for decades. One of the measures adopted to mitigate environmental contamination is the imposition of bans and restrictions to several chemical compounds. But are bans being efficient to reduce the amount of such chemicals in the environment? In this systematic review, we analyzed the efficacy of banning POPs using bats as biomonitors in terrestrial habitats. Although bats provide relevant ecosystem services, these animals are highly exposed to chemical organic pollutants such as POPs due to their feeding and behavioral habits. POP concentrations were observed in biological tissues of bats in the genus Myotis (United States), with levels decreasing over the years since the ban. We also noticed a shortage of studies in neotropical regions, where the information gap on several POPs in tropical systems is still a concern in terms of history and intensive use of these toxic chemicals. Few studies were found on emerging POPs or on POPs recently included in the Stockholm Convention. Besides, the specimens in the analyses in the studies reviewed were not separated by sex or age, which may conceal the potential risk of POPs to the conservation of bat populations. We recommend that future research extends beyond chronic POP contamination in bats to also include risk assessment trials, as wild populations may be affected in the long-term, as well as their role in the ecosystem and the economy, requiring long-term studies.Item Mammalia, Chiroptera, Phyllostomidar, Platyrrhinus recifinus: first record in the state of Paraná, Southern Brazil(Check List, 2009) Scultori, Carolina; Dias, Daniela; Peracchi, Adriano LúcioItem Mammalia, Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae Rhogeessa hussoni Genoways and Baker, 1996: First record for the state of Sergipe, northeastern Brazil(Check List, 2011) Mikalauskas, Jefferson S; Rocha, Patrício A; Dias, Daniela; Peracchi, Adriano LItem Mammalia, Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae, Rhogeessa hussoni Genoways and Baker, 1996: Distribution extension and taxonomic notes(Check List, 2011) Aires, Caroline CItem Observações sobre o parto em Tadarida brasiliensis (I.

Following this diagnosis, this work aims to report an event of opportunistic predation of silky short-tailed bat (Carollia brevicauda) by Long-furred woolly mouse opossum (Marmosa demerarae) in the Brazilian Amazon. The event took place on April 10, 2021, in a cocoa plantation. The bat individual that was preyed upon was an inactive adult female trapped in a mist net, approximately 40 cm from the ground. The predation of bats that are trapped in mist nets reinforces the idea of opportunistic predation and may explain the consumption of a vertebrate by an insectivorous marsupial.
