Abstract
We review the taxonomic identities of museum specimens of three bat species previously reported from Bolivia. We comment on some erroneously reported taxa, or taxa either not represented by voucher materials or based on insufficient data (including acoustic detections) to verify their taxonomic affinities. As result of this review, the list of bat species known to occur in Bolivia is updated to eight families and 133 species, unlike the nine families and 146 species of previous lists. Some recommendations for future research and a brief historical revision of bat inventories in the country are included.
期刊介绍:
Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distribution. Thus, our primary mission if to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species. Therefore, the journal was created from the need publish basic data on species distribution of any taxon in a timely and open manner, which are often neglected by traditional journals. Check List is a bimonthly peer-reviewed online journal, and will consider for publication: -distribution summaries of a supraspecific taxon in a broad geographic area (e.g., hemisphere, country, biome), as a review of the distribution of a taxon in the given area. -annotated list of species, of a given taxon in a strict geographic area, with comments and illustrations on the identifications, based on original data. -notes on the geographic distribution, reporting new records of one or more species while providing a complete overview on the known distribution of the treated taxa. -book reviews on books related to biodiversity, biogeography, niche modeling, or any associated field that uses species distribution as its primary data source. -opinions on relevant subjects for the journal’s mission and scope
