Zoogeography of South American Forest-Dwelling Bats: Disjunct Distributions or Sampling Deficiencies?

Many forest-dwelling bats are purported to be widespread in South America, although records are scant from the vast diagonal belt of dry ecosystems that straddles the continent, implying possible sampling deficiencies. Here, we investigate this possibility in the case of four species of bat (Centronycteris maximiliani, Lampronycteris brachyotis, Peropteryx kappleri and Trinycteris nicefori), ev...

Zoogeography of Antillean Bats

Analysis of the bat fauna of the Antillean Islands suggest that the most probable source of invnsion of the islands by bats is by overwaLer dispersal. The bat fauDa of ·the Greater Antilles is unique, a percentage of endemism on each island being over 50 percent except for the Virgin Islands which has 33 percent endemics. The richest bat fauna in the Antilles is on Cuba (32 species) followed by...

Checklist of the helminth parasites of South American bats.

Although the Chiroptera represents a significant proportion (c.20%) of the mammalian fauna and South America has the highest diversity of bat species, only about a third of the known species in this region have had helminth parasites reported from them. This work represents the first comprehensive checklist of the helminth parasites (nematodes, acanthocephalans, trematodes and cestodes) of Sout...
