Phylogenetic Studies

Fruit-eating bats of the genus Artibeus are widely distributed across the Neotropics and are one of the most recently evolved assemblages of the family Phyllostomidae. Although the taxonomy and systematics of species of Artibeus has been the subject of an intense historical debate, the most current taxonomic arrangements recognize approximately eleven species within the genus. However, recent phylogenetic studies indicate that species diversity within South and Middle American populations of Artibeus is underestimated. South American populations referable to A. jamaicensis aequatorialis are of considerable interest because previous studies of mitochondrial DNA variation identified potential species level variation west of the Andes Mountains. In this study we use morphometric and genetic data (nuclear AFLPs) to investigate the taxonomic status of A. j. aequatorialis. Our results indicate that elevating aequatorialis to species level is appropriate based on statistically supported reciprocal monophyly in mitochondrial and nuclear datasets and diagnostic morphological characters. In light of our results, and of those presented elsewhere, we provide a revised classification of the genus.

Los Grupos

Los murciélagos constituyen uno de los grupos de mamíferos más beneficiosos para los ecosistemas,ya que contribuyen con la dispersión de semillas, polinización de plantas y control de insectosplaga y portadores de microorganismos transmisores de enfermedades. En otros países, algunosmurciélagos han sido detectados con diversos agentes infecciosos por lo que es importante conocersi alojan parásitos de Leishmania spp. y Trypanosoma cruzi, agentes endémicos en nuestro país. Elobjetivo de este estudio fue detectar Leishmania spp. y Trypanosoma spp., en murciélagos generalistas,al describir características del huésped, factores macroambientales de sitios de captura e identificarmolecularmente los hemoparásitos para estudiar las relaciones huésped, agente, ambiente y posiblesrelaciones filogenéticas.Se realizó un estudio transversal en 11 localidades de Costa Rica, donde se capturó un total de 98murciélagos. De cada individuo se anotó el peso, sexo, grupo etario y condición reproductiva y se tomómuestras de sangre. Mediante PCR se amplificó una región del gen 18S para determinar la presencia deLeishmania spp. y Trypanosoma spp. Se realizó un análisis de las características macroambientales delos sitios de captura mediante el uso de capas vectoriales del Atlas de Costa Rica, 2014 y se analizaronrelaciones filogenéticas con secuencias de otros tripanosomátidos descritas anteriormente. Se determinópresencia de Leishmania spp. y Trypanosoma spp. en murciélagos Glossophaga soricina, Carolliasowelli, C. perspicillata y Artibeus jamaicensis. El peso y la precipitación se muestran como posiblesvariables relacionadas con la presencia de estos tripanosomátidos. Se comprueba, por primera vez ennuestro país, Leishmania spp., Trypanosoma cruzi y T. minasense sin evidencia de afectación de losmurciélagos. El análisis filogenético apoya la separación de T. minasense de T. rangeli, y T. cruzi y unaposible relación con tripanosomátidos suramericanos. Esta investigación contribuye al entendimientode las relaciones filogenéticas de los hemoflagelados asociados a quirópteros del continente americano.

Abstract For deciphering the biodiversity of native mammals on the island of Martinique (Lesser Antilles), bats (Chiroptera) were netted in various localities during the course of two separate studies spanning 2004–2015. A total of 2613 individuals were caught in ground-level mist nets at 79 localities. In this study, we concentrate on 1859 captures of nine species of bats caught at 24 capture-rich localities. We provide sex-ratio values, forearm and body weight measurements for each taxon. The order of decreasing abundance in captures was Artibeus jamaicensis, Sturnira angeli, Brachyphylla cavernarum, Monophyllus plethodon, Myotis martiniquensis, Molossus molossus, Ardops nichollsi, Pteronotus davyi and Tadarida brasiliensis. Our results suggest a strong sex-bias in capture rates, with males much more abundant for Ardops and Monophyllus, whereas females are more abundant for Molossus, Pteronotus and Sturnira. A clear sexual dimorphism exists with larger females in Ardops and Pteronotus, whereas males are larger in Molossus, Monophyllus and Sturnira. Reproductive females (pregnant, lactating) were found almost exclusively during the dry season (January to June) for A. jamaicensis, M. plethodon and S. angeli.
