Abstract

BRACAMONTE, J. Cesar. Montane forest's bat community of Potrero de Yala's Province Park, Jujuy, Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.2, pp.361-366. ISSN 0327-9383.

In this research, some ecological aspects of a montane forest bat's community were analyzed, in three different environments with varying degrees of disturbance. Five samplings were carried out in the humid season, using mist nets. Nine species from three families were recorded, being Vespertilionidae the best represented with six species. Human disturbed zone shows more species richness and relative abundances than native forest or an exotic pine forest area. The community was composed by species of wide distribution principally slow-flying insectivorous. The presence of Pygoderma bilabiatum whose registers in the province were doubtful is confirmed and a new locality is reported for Eptesicus chiriquinus.
