Clave de campo para la identificación de los murciélagos de Honduras

Field key for the identification of the bats of Honduras. The knowledge of the biology of bats in Honduras has increased greatly in the last decade. This is partly due to research conducted in other countries involving species that are also distributed in Honduras, but also due to the work of an emerging group of national researchers interested in the natural history and conservation of bats. The first key for the identification of bat species that occur in Honduras was published in 2016 and included 110 species. Since then, there have been significant advances in the taxonomy and distribution of Honduran bats. Here we present a new key that includes 113 species (112 now confirmed for the country, and one of possible presence), as well as seven additional species that are expected to occur in Honduras.
