We present a revised checklist of bat species occurring in the semi–urbanized region of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico. The checklist is based on surveys using mist nets, recordings of echolocation calls, data from literature, and museum databases. Results show that the Central Valleys of Oaxaca have a species richness of 33 bat species belonging to 22 genera and five families. Species like the Mustached bat Pteronotus parnellii, the Western Red bat Lasiurus blossevillii and the Free–tailed bat Promops centralis were recorded after 32, 30 and 19 years respectively according to the records of the literature. We also recorded four species classified in some risk category according to either the Mexican government’s red list (NOM–059) or the IUCN red list. The recordings of the echolocation calls are the first from the region of Central Valleys of Oaxaca. Bat diversity in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca was underestimated and emphasizes the need for further research

Historia Natural

Natalus stramineus es un murciélago cavernícola ampliamente extendido en México del que poco se sabe sobre su historia natural. En el presente trabajo, se reportan los refugios y las especies asociadas a este murciélago en México. Además se reporta la variación mensual de la temperatura ambiente y humedad relativa en una cueva donde se alberga, localizada en Colima, México, donde también se observaron sus hábitos de percha. Este murciélago ha sido encontrado en 108 refugios que en su gran mayoría son cuevas y minas, los cuales se localizaron en un amplio intervalo de altitud, tipos de vegetación y climas; sin embargo, la mayoría se encuentran a alturas menores a los 400 msnm, en selva baja caducifolia y con clima cálido-subhúmedo. En algunos sitios donde se había reportado su presencia no pudo ser encontrado durante los muestreos realizados. En la cueva El Salitre, la temperatura y humedad en sus sitios de percha permanecieron estables a lo largo del año. La primera variable osciló de 25.8 a 26.9°C y la segunda de 92.1 a 100%. Los individuos usualmente se cuelgan en las partes bajas de las paredes y en techos inclinados, utilizando también cavidades de disolución y ocasionalmente grietas. Perchan individualmente sin estar en contacto directo uno con otro, manteniendo una distancia de 5-50 cm. Se registraron 45 especies de murciélagos asociadas a N. stramineus, pero con mayor frecuencia a Pteronotus parnellii, Mormoops megalophylla, Glossophaga soricina y Desmodus rotundus. N. stramineus prefiere ocupar secciones cálidas y muy húmedas de los refugios, siendo estas condiciones ideales para conservar el calor corporal y mantener en buen estado sus alas. Su gran tendencia a asociarse con mormópidos y algunos filostómidos se explica, en parte, por requerir condiciones microclimáticas similares en sus refugios, así como por los beneficios termoregulatorios que tiene el agrupamiento en colonias. Este murciélago depende mucho de cuevas de calor para su supervivencia y ocupa de manera oportunista minas con características microclimáticas similares.

AbstractParnell’s mustached bat, Pteronotus parnellii, is found from southern Sonora and Tamaulipas to Chiapas in Mexico. On October 3, 2012, at 18:30 hr, six and nine-meter nets were placed above water ponds in the Babisal creek located in the “Northern Jaguar Reserve” near the town of Sahuaripa. At 19:50 hrs the six-meter net was checked, and an adult male, without scrotum, of the species Pteronotus parnellii was found at a height of 70cm above ground level. The Sahuaripa region in east-central Sonora, is outside the known distribution range of this species extending it by at least 220 km north of the Sierra de Alamos. The “Northern Jaguar Reserve” where Pteronotus parnellii was found, is a protected area and an important wilderness area for the protection of the northernmost breeding population of jaguars. Key words: Pteronotus parnellii, Reserva Jaguar del Norte, Sonora, october. Palabras clave: Pteronotus parnellii, Reserva Jaguar del Norte, Sonora, octubre.

Are the initial frequency-modulated components of the mustached bat's biosonar pulses important for ranging?

1. FM-FM neurons in the auditory cortex of the mustached bat, Pteronotus parnellii, are specialized to process target range. They respond when the terminal frequency-modulated component (TFM) of a biosonar pulse is paired with the TFM of the echo at a particular echo delay. Recently, it has been suggested that the initial FM components (IFMs) of biosonar signals may also be important for target ranging. To examine the possible role of IFMs in target ranging, we characterized the properties of IFMs and TFMs in biosonar pulses emitted by bats swung on a pendulum. We then studied responses of FM-FM neurons to synthesized biosonar signals containing IFMs and TFMs. 2. The mustached bat's biosonar signal consists of four harmonics, of which the second (H2) is the most intense. Each harmonic has an IFM in addition to a constant-frequency component (CF) and a TFM. Therefore each pulse potentially consists of 12 components, IFM1-4, CF1-4, and TFM1-4. The IFM sweeps up while the TFM sweeps down. 3. The IFM2 and TFM2 depths (i.e., bandwidths) were measured in 217 pulses from four animals. The mean IFM2 depth was much smaller than the mean TFM2 depth, 2.87 +/- 1.52 (SD) kHz compared with 16.27 +/- 1.08 kHz, respectively. The amplitude of the IFM2 continuously increased throughout its duration and was always less than the CF2 amplitude, whereas the TFM2 was relatively constant in amplitude over approximately three-quarters of its duration and was often the most intense part of the pulse. The maximum amplitude of the IFM2 was, on average, 11 dB smaller than that of the TFM2. Because range resolution increases with depth and the maximum detectable range increases with signal amplitude, the IFMs are poorly suited for ranging compared with the TFMs. 4. FM-FM neurons (n = 77) did not respond or responded very poorly to IFMs with depths and intensities similar to those emitted on the pendulum. The mean IFM2 depth at which a just-noticeable response appeared was 4.48 +/- 1.98 kHz. Only 14% of the pulses emitted on the pendulum had IFM2 depths that exceeded the mean IFM2 depth threshold of FM-FM neurons. 5. Most FM-FM neurons responded to IFMs that had depths comparable with those of TFMs. However, when all parameters were adjusted to optimize the response to TFMs and then readjusted to maximize the response to IFMs, 52% of 27 neurons tested responded significantly better to the optimal TFMs than to the optimal IFMs (P less than 0.05, t test).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
