proximately bats representing 4 1 species were collected. Most bats were captured in mist nets set over small lakes, streams, or artificial ponds in thorn forest or thorn scrub. Nets set across trails or at the edge of forest were also sometimes productive. Specimens were also capt~~red in roosts or by shooting. The Role of Bats in Ecosystem Management Bats are primary predators of vast numbers of insects that fly at night, including many that rank among North America’s most costly agricultural and forest pests. Just a partial list of the insects these bats consume includes cucumber, potato, and snout beetles; corn-borer, corn earworm. In a publication in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, two new species of broad-nosed bats are described for the very first time. Both bats hail from Andean South America. Interestingly, both had been collected decades earlier by expeditions from the Field Museum of Natural History (to Peru, led by MacArthur Curator Bruce Patterson) and the National Museum of.

Often misunderstood, bats are crucial to our provide essential pest control, pollinate our plants and disperse seeds for new plants and trees. In the last week of October, we celebrate National Bat Week to share the impacts and importance of these fascinating creatures.. Bats first appeared on Earth 50 million years ago, and today, there are more than 1, species worldwide and Nonetheless, such disruption, if manifested via homoeotic mutations, could play a critical role in the evolution of novel phenotypic body plans (Raff and Kaufmann, ). DISTRIBUTION The red fig-eating bat, Stenoderma rufum, first was reported by Geoffroy St.-Hilaire () as "le Stenoderme roux" based upon examination of a single specimen. 4. More than half of the bat species in the United States are in severe decline or listed as endangered. In addition to loss of habitat, one of the most dire threat comes from white nose syndrome, a disease that has decimated bats in the U.S. and Nature Conservancy collaborated on . Bats are among the world’s most fascinating creatures. The only mammals capable of true flight, these animals are marvels of evolution. A wide variety of species lives in the United States and Canada, ranging from the California leaf-nosed bat to the Florida bonneted bat, from the eastern small-footed bat to the northern long-eared Bat.

Few are montane endemics or are localized in south‐eastern Peru, although exceptions to this. The most diverse known communities of insectivorous bats in the Palaeotropics and Neotropics are similar in alpha diversity (number of species).

However, they show distinct differences with respect to wing morphology and the echolocation behaviour of their component species.

Analysis of the bat fauna of the Antillean Islands suggest that the most probable source of invasion of the islands by bats is by overwater dispersal.

The bat fauna 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.

Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight, that is, flight powered by muscular movement as distinct from gliding. The wing is a double membrane of skin stretched between the enormously elongated bones of four fingers and extending along the body from the forelimbs to the hind limbs and from there to the tail.
