Abstract

Increased cattle ranching in Neotropical landscapes has led to human–wildlife conflicts that complicate the relationship between agricultural production and biodiversity conservation. We review the literature related to conflicts between livestock production and the common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus, specifically, the factors that influence the incidence of problems caused by bites to cattle. We summarise the strategies proposed to reduce these problems and propose actions from the perspectives of cattle management, landscape ecology and the biology of the common vampire bat. The literature shows that free-range extensive management systems, where cattle graze in areas with forest cover, near riparian zones, caves, secondary vegetation (generally shrublands and immature trees), and vegetation fragments and edges, increase the implications and the severity of the conflict. As a result of different selection forces, the wing morphology and echolocation characteristics of the common vampire bat facilitate its movement under these landscape conditions, thus favouring a scenario of greater interaction with cattle. We propose the establishment of a ‘buffer zone’ to separate the cattle as far as possible (at least 1 km) from the elements of the landscape that are key for the movement patterns of common vampire bats in cattle ranching areas. The feeding events of this species are positively associated with host availability and landscape elements that provide habitat and connectivity, which shows that the cause of this conflict originates from the process of cattle production and the invasion of the habitat of the common vampire bat. Anti-rabies vaccination programmes in cattle and forest–cattle separation are the most important strategies to minimise conflict and prevent rabies outbreaks.

在新热带地区,减少普通吸血蝙蝠与牧场之间的冲突
新热带地区畜牧业的增加导致了人类与野生动物之间的冲突,使农业生产与生物多样性保护之间的关系复杂化。本文综述了家畜生产与常见吸血蝙蝠圆齿蝠冲突的相关文献,特别是影响牛咬伤发生率的因素。本文从养牛管理、景观生态学和普通吸血蝙蝠生物学的角度,总结了减少这些问题的策略,并提出了相应的措施。文献表明,自由放养的粗放管理系统,即牛在森林覆盖地区、河岸带、洞穴、次生植被(通常是灌木地和未成熟树木)以及植被碎片和边缘附近放牧,增加了冲突的影响和严重程度。由于不同的选择力量,普通吸血蝙蝠的翅膀形态和回声定位特征有利于其在这些景观条件下的运动,从而有利于与牛的更多互动。我们建议建立一个“缓冲区”,尽可能地将牛与景观元素(至少1公里)分开,这些景观元素是牛牧区常见吸血蝙蝠运动模式的关键。该物种的取食事件与宿主可用性和提供栖息地和连通性的景观因素呈正相关,这表明这种冲突的原因源于养牛过程和普通吸血蝙蝠栖息地的入侵。牛和森林-牛分离的抗狂犬病疫苗接种规划是尽量减少冲突和预防狂犬病暴发的最重要战略。

期刊介绍: Mammal Review is the official scientific periodical of the Mammal Society, and covers all aspects of mammalian biology and ecology, including behavioural ecology, biogeography, conservation, ecology, ethology, evolution, genetics, human ecology, management, morphology, and taxonomy. We publish Reviews drawing together information from various sources in the public domain for a new synthesis or analysis of mammalian biology; Predictive Reviews using quantitative models to provide insights into mammalian biology; Perspectives presenting original views on any aspect of mammalian biology; Comments in response to papers published in Mammal Review; and Short Communications describing new findings or methods in mammalian biology.
