Abstract
This study presents information about a survey of bats made in Campinhos State Park (PEC) (25o02’S, 49o05’W, 890 m altitude ) , Parana, Brazil. This Conservation Unit encompasses 336.97 ha. The main tourist attractions are the caves known as Jesuitas/Fada. PEC is located at 63 km north of Curitiba. Different stages of Araucaria Pine Forest characterize the park vegetation. Twelve field trips had been carried monthly from September 2003 to August 2004 using 10 mist nets. In this period, 423 bats were captured, 274 Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffroy, 1810) (64.8%) and 50 Myotis nigricans (Schinz, 1821) (11.8%), both representing 76.6% of the survey. Other 12 species were identified, like Anoura caudifer (E. Geoffroy, 1818); Anoura geoffroyi Gray, 1838; Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758); Chrotopterus auritus (Peters, 1856); Diphylla ecaudata Spix, 1823; Eptesicus furinalis (d’Orbigny, 1847); Eptesicus taddeii (Miranda et al. , 2006); Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1766); Lasiurus blossevillii (Lesson & Garnot, 1826); Mimon bennettii (Gray, 1838); Pygoderma bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843) and Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy, 1810). Some of the species considered threatened in Parana State, such as C. auritus , D. ecaudata and M. bennettii , were all captured in grottos .
