JORDAN, Phillip N; MOORE, Patrick R; PANNKUK, Evan L y RISCH, Thomas S. Captures of the tome’s sword-nosed bat, Lonchorhina aurita (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae), from Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, and range implications for this species. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.2, pp.339-342. ISSN 0327-9383.
Lonchorhina aurita (Tome’s sword-nosed bat) is a locally rare/restricted bat species distributed from the northerly ranges of Veracruz, Mexico to the South American countries of Brazil and Peru. Prior to our study on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, this species was documented from a single individual from 1 location in Nicaragua (Matiguás, Matagalpa). During 2010-2013, a total of 9 L. aurita were captured in tropical interior forests and agricultural forests with dense upper and midstory vegetation. L. aurita were captured from several locations on Ometepe Island and included reproductive adults and juveniles. Our data suggest that a persistent L. aurita population is established on Ometepe Island.
