The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer-reviewed and grey literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non-invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from different Amazon regions to compile the most extensive dataset of inventories of mammal, bird and reptile species ever assembled for the area. The complete dataset comprises 154,123 records of 317 species (185 birds, 119 mammals and 13 reptiles) gathered from surveys from the Amazonian portion of eight countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela). The most frequently recorded species per taxa were: mammals - Cuniculus paca (11,907 records); birds - Pauxi tuberosa (3,713 records); and reptiles - Tupinambis teguixin (716 records). The information detailed in this data paper opens-up opportunities for new ecological studies at different spatial and temporal scales, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change and other human-mediated defaunation processes in one of the most important and threatened tropical environments in the world. The dataset is not copyright restricted; please cite this data-paper when using its data in publications and we also request that researchers and educators inform us of how they are using this data.

ABSTRACT Snakes are common predators of birds. However, reported cases of snake predation on Troglodytes musculus are scarce. Here, we report a predation attempt of a Troglodytes musculus nestling by the dipsadid snake Philodryas olfersii. We also present a list with bird species recorded as prey of this snake species. We found 25 predation events of P. olfersii on adult, juvenile, and nestling birds. A total of 19 bird species from 14 families have been reported as prey of P. olfersii. Most predation events occurred on the vegetation, while some others were observed on the ground, cage, and artificial nest.

AbstractBiodiversity inventories contain important information about species richness, community structure, and composition, and are the first step in developing any conservation and mitigation strategies. The Atlantic Forest of South America is home to around 334 species of small‐, medium‐, and large‐sized mammals, and is currently restricted to less than 12% of its original cover. Here, we present the ATLANTIC MAMMALS, an open data set on information on medium‐ and large‐sized mammal assemblages in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. A total of 129 studies were compiled, including published and in press peer‐reviewed papers, book chapters, theses and unpublished data. We mapped 244 assemblages, eight orders, 63 genera, and 94 species (24 of which are classified as threatened by the IUCN Red List) distributed in 128 protected and 116 unprotected areas. Species richness of the mammalian assemblages varied from 1 to 39 species (mean 15). The most recorded species in the entire biome was Dasypus novemcinctus, followed by Cerdocyon thous and Procyon cancrivorous. These data can be useful in support of macroecological studies and conservation planning strategies. Please cite this data paper when the data are used in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using the data.

Here, we present an updated list of bats from Guarapuava highlands, center-southern of Parana state, southern Brazil. This species list is based on four literature records (secondary data) and data from fieldwork (primary data) in three localities. All species recorded (primary and secondary data) were evaluated by the relative frequency and their conservation status were assessed. The species recorded from fieldwork were also evaluated by relative abundance. A beta diversity analysis was done to verify dissimilarities in the bat fauna among the seven localities. We recorded 28 species in the Guarapuava highlands (14 Vespertilionidae, 10 Phyllostomidae and 4 Molossidae), of which, eight are new records for the region. Sturnira lilium was the most abundant in three localities (primary data), and the most frequent species in all studies (primary and secondary data). Only four species were classified globally as "Near Threatened" or "Data Deficient", nevertheless they were frequent in this region. The mean regional beta diversity was 0.72, what could be mostly explained by turnover (0.64) rather than by nestedness (0.08). The greatest species richness of the family Vespertilionidae is a common pattern in subtropical and temperate regions as in highlands and mountains. As turnover was the main component of the beta diversity, the communities seemed to be structured mainly by replacement of species among the studied localities. The Guarapuava highlands present a diverse bat fauna, however, this region requires more sampling effort to become well known.

AbstractPrimates play an important role in ecosystem functioning and offer critical insights into human evolution, biology, behavior, and emerging infectious diseases. There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate species, as hybrids in the genera Callithrix and Alouatta. The dataset includes 700 primate communities, 8,121 single species occurrences and 714 estimates of primate population sizes, covering most natural forest types of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina and some other biomes. On average, primate communities of the Atlantic Forest harbor 2 ± 1 species (range = 1–6). However, about 40% of primate communities contain only one species. Alouatta guariba (N = 2,188 records) and Sapajus nigritus (N = 1,127) were the species with the most records. Callicebus barbarabrownae (N = 35), Leontopithecus caissara (N = 38), and Sapajus libidinosus (N = 41) were the species with the least records. Recorded primate densities varied from 0.004 individuals/km2 (Alouatta guariba at Fragmento do Bugre, Paraná, Brazil) to 400 individuals/km2 (Alouatta caraya in Santiago, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Our dataset reflects disparity between the numerous primate census conducted in the Atlantic Forest, in contrast to the scarcity of estimates of population sizes and densities. With these data, researchers can develop different macroecological and regional level studies, focusing on communities, populations, species co‐occurrence and distribution patterns. Moreover, the data can also be used to assess the consequences of fragmentation, defaunation, and disease outbreaks on different ecological processes, such as trophic cascades, species invasion or extinction, and community dynamics. There are no copyright restrictions. Please cite this Data Paper when the data are used in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using the data.

. Reproductive activity and population structure of Myotis nigricans (Schinz, 1821) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in the southern Brazil. Among mammals, bats present the greatest diversity in reproductive strategies. In this study we analyzed reproductive and population characteristics of Myotis nigricans over one year in a temperate region in Brazil. We carried out the samplings in an anthropic roost, in Pedras Grandes municipality, Santa Catarina state. We captured bats monthly with mist nets installed at the roosts exits and identified the captured individuals according to sex, reproductive condition and age. There was greatest number of females than males. Population size was estimated from 569 to 1050 individuals. Births occurred mainly from September to January, with more than one pregnancy event along the year, evidencing a seasonal and bimodal polyester pattern. The reproductive period of M. nigricans in southern Brazil is similar to the records made in other regions. Despite of it, there is no pattern along its distribution range.

The great biological diversity found in tropical forests has intrigued scientists for a long time. In this study, we used a bi-dimensional niche matrix to explain the coexistence of bat species in a Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest locality. Bats were caught with a set of mist nets and manually. The samples were taken between Jan/2009 and May/2010, totalizing 41 nights of effort (64 800 m2.h, only of standardized efforts). The bi-dimensional niche matrix was assembled using functional groups (using predominant feeding habits) and size classes created a posteriori. Seven size classes were defined on the basis of forearm lengths; these classes were shown to be different using a Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.05). A total of nineteen bat species were recorded, of which sixteen were detected in systematical efforts. Sturnira lilium and Carollia perspicillata were the most abundant species. Five species were regarded as common, ten were intermediate, and four were rare in the studied assemblage. Most individuals sampled belonged to the frugivorous functional group. The aerial insectivore and frugivore functional groups were the richest functional groups, with seven species each. A niche matrix with 35 cells was created, of which 15 were occupied by bats; and only three of them occupied by two or more species. The analysis showed that a combination of feeding habits and size classes could account for resource sharing and coexistence of most of the nineteen bat species in the studied assemblage. The rest of coexistence can be explained by skull characteristics (gracile versus robust skulls for aerial insectivores) or some feeding specializations (for frugivore species). RESUMO. Assembleia de morcegos do Parque Estadual Pico do Marumbi, Mata Atlântica Brasileira. A grande biodiversidade encontrada nas florestas tropicais tem intrigado cientistas por um longo tempo. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi usar uma matriz de nicho bi-dimensional para explicar a coexistência das espécies de morcegos em uma localidade de Mata Atlântica brasileira. Os morcegos foram capturados com um conjunto de redes de neblina e também manualmente. As amostragens foram realizadas entre janeiro de 2009 e maio de 2010, totalizando 41 noites de esforço (64 800 m2.h apenas de esforço sistematizado). A matriz de nicho bi-dimensional foi criada usando grupos funcionais (usando o hábito alimentar predominante) e classes de tamanho criadas a posteriori. Sete classes de tamanho foram definidas com base nos comprimentos do antebraço; essas classes mostraram-se diferentes usando o teste de Kruskal-Wallis (p < 0,05). Um total de dezenove espécies foram registradas, das quais dezesseis foram detectadas apenas em esforços sistematizados. Sturnira lilium e Carollia perspicillata foram as espécies mais abundantes. Cinco espécies foram comuns, dez intermediárias e quatro raras na assembleia estudada.

Abstract Here, we report cases of bats entangled in natural and artificial traps in Brazil. We found 10 bats entangled in barbed wire, including one Artibeus fimbriatus (dead), one each of Artibeus lituratus, Lasiurus blossevillii and Lasiurus cinereus (alive), one L. blossevilli and five Myotis levis (mummified) and one Eptesicus diminutus entangled on adhesive spines in a branch. All were adult bats. Although we cannot control the occurrence of natural traps, we can suggest actions to mitigate negative effects of man-made structures. The most economic and effective way to mitigate these negative effects is to use plain wire to construct fences.

SUMMARYThe order Chiroptera is considered the second largest group of mammals in the world, hosting important zoonotic virus and bacteria.Bartonellaand hemotropic mycoplasmas are bacteria that parasite different mammals’ species, including humans, causing different clinical manifestations. The present work aimed investigating the occurrence and assessing the phylogenetic positioning ofBartonellaspp. andMycoplasmaspp. in neotropical bats sampled from Brazil. Between December 2015 and April 2016, 325 blood and/or tissues samples were collected from 162 bats comprising 19 different species sampled in five states of Brazil. Out of 322 bat samples collected, while 17 (5·28%) were positive to quantitative PCR forBartonellaspp. based onnuoGgene, 45 samples (13·97%) were positive to cPCR assays for hemoplasmas based on 16S rRNA gene. While seven sequences were obtained forBartonella(nuoG) (n= 3),gltA(n= 2),rpoB(n= 1),ftsZ(n= 1), five 16S rRNA sequences were obtained for hemoplasmas. In the phylogenetic analysis, theBartonellasequences clustered withBartonellagenotypes detected in bats sampled in Latin America countries. All five hemoplasmas sequences clustered together as a monophyletic group by Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses. The present work showed the first evidence of circulation ofBartonellaspp. and hemoplasmas among bats in Brazil.

Dados sobre a composicao da mastofauna de Restinga do Brasil sao escassos, sobretudo no que se refere a quiropterofauna. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a composicao da assembleia de morcegos em um ambiente de Restinga alterada no sul do Brasil. As amostragens foram realizadas no municipio de Jaguaruna, litoral sul de Santa Catarina, entre os anos de 2006 a 2016. Os morcegos foram capturados com redes de neblina instaladas ao nivel do solo. Para descrever a estrutura da assembleia de morcegos, foram utilizados atributos de riqueza, abundância e frequencia de ocorrencia. Foram capturados 514 individuos de duas familias, oito generos e 14 especies. A curva de acumulacao de especies nao evidenciou tendencias a estabilizacao. Artibeus lituratus, Sturnira lilium e Artibeus fimbriatus foram classificadas como frequentes. Myotis nigricans foi a unica especie pouco frequente, e as demais foram consideradas raras no estudo. Embora os sitios amostrados apresentem altos niveis de alteracao, os resultados obtidos evidenciam que esses locais ainda abrigam uma fauna de morcegos representativa dos ambientes costeiros do Brasil. Assim, os resultados reforcam a necessidade de acoes no sentido de minimizar os efeitos deleterios que as pressoes antropicas vem exercendo sobre os remanescentes de Restinga.

A Amazônia é a maior floresta tropical do mundo e pelo menos 147 espécies de morcegos ocorrem neste ambiente. A despeito desta grande riqueza, a diversidade de morcegos da Amazônia é pobremente conhecida e existem grandes lacunas neste conhecimento. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi descrever a assembleia de morcegos ocorrentes na região do Médio Teles Pires (MTP), no sul da Amazônia. Além disso, avaliou-se a similaridade dessa assembleia em relação a 14 assembleias estudadas em outras localidades amazônicas e avaliou-se a correlação entre as similaridades destas localidades e suas distâncias. Trinta e três espécies de morcegos foram registradas, representando 71% das espécies estimadas (Jackknife2). As três espécies com maior abundância relativa foram: Carollia perspicillata, Pteronotus parnellii e Phyllostomus hastatus que somadas contam com mais de 50% das capturas. O grupo funcional dos frugívoros obteve o maior número de espécies capturadas. Foi encontrada uma correlação negativa entre as distâncias e as similaridades das assembleias de morcegos amazônicos (r = -0,22; p = 0,014). A distância geográfica pode explicar apenas 6% da similaridade entre as assembleias analisadas, ainda assim, as similaridades destas assembleias permitem que as mesmas sejam agrupadas por suas distâncias geográficas. Além disso, a fauna de morcegos do MTP é diferenciada de outras áreas da Amazônia o que lhe confere um papel especial na conservação dos morcegos amazônicos

Abstract Myotis ruber is a widely distributed bat in South America, but it is considered rare and its natural history is virtually unknown. These factors contribute to the classification of the species as vulnerable regionally and nearthreatened globally. In this context, the aim of this note is to present new data about the reproductive biology of M. ruber, thus expanding the knowledge about its natural history and, consequently, contributing to the conservation of the species. After an extensive effort to capture bats in southern Brazil, we captured 40 individuals of M. ruber. Pregnant females (n=17) were observed mainly in October in different years. In addition, seven immature individuals were captured. Based on our results, it is expected that the species will fit the general pattern for bats determined by climate and food resources, but our data do not allow us to assign conclusive reproductive patterns. Although not conclusive, the information presented in this note represents the first opportunity to gather breeding information about this rare and threatened species.

Investigating the Myotis levis complex is important for understanding the taxonomic status of the two subspecies currently recognized in it: Myotis levis levis (I. Geoffroy, 1824) and M. levis dinellii Thomas, 1902. Both M. levis levis and M. levis dinellii have been recently observed in sympatry in Argentina. This finding suggests that these populations might in fact correspond to distinct species rather than subspecies, as they have traditionally been designated. By using a multivariate morphometric approach, we demonstrate that M. l. levis has secondary sexual dimorphism in several measurements, with females being larger than males; sexual dimorphism was not detected in M. levis dinellii. However, we found morphometric differences between the two taxa. These differences exceeded those documented for other Neotropical Myotis. Based on their sympatry, morphological, and morphometrical differences, we propose a change in the status of both subspecies to M. levis and M. dinellii.

Uma análise comparativa da riqueza de espécies de morcegos da Região Sul do Brasil é apresentada, assim como análises de similaridades entre estados. O estado do Paraná apresentou a maior riqueza de espécies de morcegos, com 64 espécies, seguido por Santa Catarina com 46 e pelo Rio Grande do Sul com 40. A família Phyllostomidae influencia fortemente este padrão de riqueza. As distribuições geográficas de Trachops cirrhosus (Spix, 1823), Artibeus cinereus (Gervais, 1851) e Thyroptera tricolor Spix, 1823 são ampliadas até o Paraná, estabelecendo um novo limite sul de distribuição dessas espécies e da família Thyropteridae. Além disso, Myotis dinellii Thomas, 1902 foi registrado pela primeira vez no Brasil, em Santa Catarina e no Rio Grande do Sul, estabelecendo um novo limite leste para sua distribuição. Ainda, é ampliada a distribuição de Eptesicus taddeii Miranda, Bernardi & Passos, 2006 a partir de seu primeiro registro no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Uma lista atualizada dos morcegos dos estados sul-brasileiros é apresentada bem como algumas adequações nomenclaturais. É enfatizada a importância do emprego de maiores esforços de campo para levantamentos da quiropterofauna, que assim podem contribuir para medidas de conservação embasadas em inventariamentos e coleções científicas representativas.

The taxonomic status and the geographical distribution of the specimens from southern Brazil previously identified as members of the Eumops bonariensis (Peters, 1874) species complex are here reviewed based on specimens deposited in collections of the states of Parana and Rio Grande do Sul. The results of an investigation of diagnostic morphological characters and a multivariate morphometrics analysis suggest the recognition of two forms, E. bonariensis and E. patagonicus Thomas, 1924, thus altering considerably the distributional scenario of these forms in southern Brazil.

O Estado do Rio Grande do Sul possui, até o momento, registros para 38 das 168 espécies de morcegos ocorrentes no Brasil e possui extensas áreas carentes de amostragem. Neste trabalho apresenta-se uma lista de espécies de quirópteros do município de Frederico Westphalen no extremo norte do Rio Grande do Sul e são fornecidas informações sobre a utilização de edificações humanas e minas abandonadas para sete das 25 espécies registradas no município. De outubro de 2004 a junho de 2008 esforços amostrais foram realizados em onze áreas no município visando inventariar a quiropterofauna local. A presença das espécies foi constatada a partir de capturas com auxílio de redes de neblina, busca ativa em refúgios, bem como, de exemplares obtidos junto a comunidade. As espécies pertencem a 13 gêneros, das quais a família Vespertilionidae é representada por 11 espécies, Molossidae por sete espécies e Phyllostomidae por sete espécies. Os resultados obtidos no presente trabalho colocam o Alto Uruguai entre as regiões com maior riqueza de quirópteros do Rio Grande do Sul.

Observações diretas do comportamento de beber água por espécies de Alouatta Lacépède, 1799 são incomuns em animais de vida livre. Foram reportadas flutuações sazonais na freqüência do consumo de água, as quais foram relacionadas à disponibilidade dos diferentes itens alimentares no ambiente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi quantificar os registros do consumo de água por um grupo de Alouatta clamitans Cabrera, 1940, bem como analisar suas variações sazonais, circadianas e sexo-etárias. O consumo de água foi relacionado aos períodos de alimentação ao longo do dia. Houve correlação entre consumo de água e ingestão de sementes. A análise sexo-etária demonstrou que as fêmeas adultas ingeriram proporcionalmente mais água, enquanto infantes consumiram menos. Sugerimos que as fontes de água podem ser fatores importantes na configuração dos percursos diários do grupo. O consumo de água foi diretamente relacionado às quantidades de compostos secundários contidos nas sementes ingeridas. Necessidades metabólicas inerentes à lactação provavelmente levaram as fêmeas adultas a ingerir maiores quantidades de água. Embora incomum, o consumo de água deve ser considerado como um fator de grande importância ao possibilitar a sobrevivência dos bugios sob certas condições ambientais.
