Bat (Chiroptera) assemblages in three Cerrado fragments of Mato Grosso do Sul, southwestern Brazil

摘要: Despite its high species richness and large area, the Brazilian Cerrado is a generally undervalued under-protected biome. There are relatively few published studies of bat assemblages in this area. We surveyed for bats using mist-nets from April–November 2013 within around Campo Grande, Brazil an urban fragment, agricultural larger fragment continuous forest. captured 508 individuals 21 representing four families: Phyllostomidae (10), Molossidae (6), Vespertilionidae (4), Noctilionidae (1). Phyllostomids accounted 91.73% captures. The most common were Artibeus planirostris (27.76%), lituratus (21.06%), Sturnira lilium (11.61%). was variation between sites: diversity highest forest lowest fragment. Evenness rural least similar sites forest; similarity greatest site
