Bogota Fruit-eating Bat
The Bogota fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura bogotensis'') is a species of bat found in South America. Taxonomy and etymology This bat was described in 1906 by Danish mammalogist Knud Andersen. He described it as a subspecies of the Gervais's fruit-eating bat, ''A. cinereus''. The holotype had been collected near Bogotá, Colombia, undoubtedly inspiring the species name "''bogotensis''." Later, beginning in 1987, the taxon was considered a subspecies of the silver fruit-eating bat, ''D. glauca''. In 2008, researchers proposed that the Bogota fruit-eating bat should be elevated to species rank. Description It has pale brown fur and distinct white stripes on its face. The length of its head and body is . It lacks a tail. Its hind feet are long; its ears are ; and its forearm is long. It weighs . Biology and ecology This bat is frugivorous. It is bimodally polyestrous, meaning that it has two breeding seasons in a year. These breeding seasons correspond to seasonal fruit abundan ...

Dermanura Rava
''Dermanura rava'' is a species of leaf-nosed bat found in Central and South America. Taxonomy ''Dermanura rava'' was described as a new species in 1902 by American zoologist Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. The holotype had been collected in San Javier of northern Ecuador by "G. Fleming", often given by others as Flemming. Georg Flemming was a collector of biological specimens for William Frederick Henry Rosenberg, along with Rudolf Miketta. ''Dermanura'' species have frequently been included in the genus ''Artibeus'', so ''D. rava'' has also been known as ''Artibeus ravus''. Additionally, it was listed as a synonym of the pygmy fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura phaeotis'') in 1978 and 1982 publications. However, subsequent molecular analysis showed that ''D. rava'' was genetically distinct from the pygmy fruit-eating bat. Its sister taxon is Andersen's fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura anderseni''). Description Its fur is yellowish brown, and its face has four indistinct, whitish stripes. It ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thomas's Fruit-eating Bat
Thomas's fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura watsoni''), sometimes also popularly called Watson's fruit-eating bat, is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found from southern Mexico, through Central America to Colombia. Its South American range is to the west of the Andes. The species name is in honor of H. J. Watson, a plantation owner in western Panama who used to send specimens to the British Natural History Museum, where Oldfield Thomas would often describe them. Taxonomy This species was formerly placed in the genus ''Artibeus'', but was reclassified, based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence data, in 2004. ''Dermanura'', formerly a subgenus of ''Artibeus'', was elevated to a separate genus. The two genera cannot be differentiated by morphology. Population on Isla Escudo de Veraguas The population on the small (3.4 km2) island Isla Escudo de Veraguas off the Caribbean coast of Panama was classified as a separate species within the genus (''D. incomit ...

Dermanura Glauca
The silver fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura glauca'') is a South American bat species of the family Phyllostomidae. Description The silver fruit-eating bat is a small bat, measuring only in head-body length and weighing . It has dark brown fur which varies little over the body, with faint stripes of paler fur above each eye. Unlike many closely related species found in the same area, the edges of the ears and nose-leaf are said to be bright yellow in colour. Distribution and biology Silver fruit-eating bats are found across the northern Andes, from Colombia to Bolivia. They inhabit lowland to mid altitude forested terrain between . They feed on fruits found in the canopy of tropical to temperate forests and roost under cut leaves of banana or palm trees during the day. They breed throughout the year, but with two distinct peaks. There are no recognised subspecies, although this was not the case prior to 2008, when the Bogota fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura bogotensis The Bogota f ...

Dermanura Rosenbergi
Rosenberg's fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura rosenbergi'', often misspelled ''rosenbergii'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found in humid tropical forests in the El Chocó region on the coast of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador at altitudes below 500 m. Until recently it was included within '' D. glauca'', a canopy frugivore that also eats insects. It was elevated to full species status in 2009. The specific name is in honor of collector W. F. H. Rosenberg. The species is regarded as common, but is likely threatened by the deforestation Deforestation or forest clearance is the removal of a forest or stand of trees from land that is then converted to non-forest use. Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated d ... of its habitat.

Dermanura Tolteca
The Toltec fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura tolteca'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is also sometimes called the "lowland fruit eating bat." Taxonomy Three subspecies of the Toltec fruit-eating bat are recognized: ''A. t. toltecus'', the nominate; ''A. t. hesperus''; and ''A. t. ravus''. Description The Toltec fruit-eating bat is a small bat usually weighing under 16 g. The nominate is the largest of the subspecies. Its fur ranges from light brown in its northern habitats to blackish in Costa Rica and then paler in the northern ranges of South America. The darker individuals are typically found in the more humid regions while the lighter ones are in relatively dry habitats. ''A. t. ravus'' differs from the other subspecies in having white ear edges and clearer stripes below the eye. Distribution and habitat The nominate subspecies occurs along the eastern and western Mexican coast from Nuevo León and Sinaloa south through Central America including Belize, ...

Andersen's fruit-eating bat (''Dermanura anderseni'') is a bat species found in South America. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 1916 by American zoologist Wilfred Hudson Osgood. The holotype had been collected in 1915 by "R. H. Becker" (likely Osgood's assistant Robert Becker) in Porto Velho, Brazil.(Day was Lee Garnett Day The eponym for the species name "''anderseni''" is Danish mammalogist Knud Andersen. The classification of ''Dermanura'' and ''Artibeus'' has been a topic of debate, though there has been genetic and morphological evidence to reclassify the species as '' Artibeus aequatorialis.'' Description It is a relatively small species of bat, with a forearm length of . Its fur is dark brown on both its dorsal and ventral sides. Individuals weigh . Its dental formula is for a total of 28 teeth. It has indistinct facial stripes. Biology and ecology It is one of relatively few species of bats that constructs "tents" out of leaves for roostin ...
