Abstract

ABSTRACTStreblidae and Nycteribiidae are ectoparasitic flies exclusive to bats, with an estimated diversity of over 100 species in Brazil. Its distribution and abundance may be influenced by host’s shelter, geographic distribution, behavior, and size. Bat species respond differently to environmental changes, such as changing land use and land cover for cocoa production in the eastern Amazon. We sought to investigate the community of ectoparasite flies (Diptera: Streblidae) on Phyllostominae and Stenodermatinae (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) bats and the parasite-host interactions in cacao plantations and natural areas in the Brazilian Amazon. Twenty-two bats were collected, reaching a total of 54 flies. The observed richness was 15 (estimated in 24) species, with Trichobius dugesioides being the most abundant. The cacao plantations showed greater richness, eight species more than the natural ones, however, showing the absence of a specific distribution pattern for each area. This result may be because human interference in cocoa areas are barely perceptible, at least for the bats studied. In addition, the adoption of cabruca-type cocoa plantations can influence the result, as previously shown in the literature.KEYWORDS: Biodiversityparasite-host networkinteractioninventoryAmazon AcknowledgmentsThis study benefited from resources provided from the environmental compensation funds deposited by Vale S.A., and administered by the National Research Center for Cave Conservation (Cecav/ICMBio) and Brazilian Society for the Study of Chiroptera – SBEQ, as part of the DD program – The Least Know Species of Brazil, and resources from the Speleological Compensation Agreement – TCCE VALE 1/2018, Edital Ferruginosas 01/2021, administered by the Brazilian Institute for Sustainable Development – IABS, and the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brasil (CAPES) - Finance Code 001, concede to RJRA.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoa-mento de Pessoal de Nível Superior [001]; cecav\ICMBio .

产于亚马孙地区可可区和自然地区的毛茛科和窄皮科蝙蝠蝇(双翅目:毛茛科)

摘要streblidae和Nycteribiidae是蝙蝠特有的外寄生蝇类，在巴西估计有超过100种。其分布和丰度可能受寄主的住所、地理分布、行为和大小的影响。蝙蝠物种对环境变化的反应不同，例如亚马逊东部土地利用和可可生产土地覆盖的变化。本研究旨在调查巴西亚马孙地区可可种植园和自然区域外寄生蝇(双翅目:链蝇科)在毛条科和窄皮科(翼翅目:毛条科)蝙蝠上的群落分布及寄主与寄生虫的相互作用。采集了22只蝙蝠，共捕获54只苍蝇。观察到的丰富度为15种(估计有24种)，其中以dugesioides最为丰富。可可人工林的物种丰富度比天然人工林高8种，但没有明确的区域分布格局。这一结果可能是因为人类对可可产区的干预几乎无法察觉，至少对被研究的蝙蝠来说是这样。此外，采用cabruca型可可种植园可以影响结果，如先前的文献所示。关键词:本研究受益于由巴西国家洞穴保护研究中心(Cecav/ICMBio)和巴西Chiroptera研究协会(SBEQ)提供的环境补偿基金提供的资源，该基金是巴西最不知道的物种DD计划的一部分，以及来自洞穴补偿协议(TCCE Vale 1/2018)的资源。由巴西可持续发展研究所(IABS)和巴西高级经济与经济协调机构(CAPES) -金融法典001管理的第01/2021号铁公报向RJRA让步。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究得到了协调机构 aperfeipa -mento de Pessoal de Nível Superior的支持[001];cecav \ ICMBio。

期刊介绍： There is still a far from complete understanding of the complex ecosystems in the Neotropics, although they have been studied since the first expeditions of the old world naturalists Marcgrave, Humboldt, Spix, Darwin, Bates and Müller. The aims and scope of the Journal are, besides taxonomic and zoogeographic surveys, analyses of animal communities and their relationship with biotic and abiotic environmental conditions. This includes the fauna of both terrestrial and fresh water ecosystems in the Neotropics. Contributions that represent original research and mini-reviews are welcome. Manuscripts presenting just checklists and new geographic records are not considered for publication. If manuscripts do not meet the requirements of the journal, the editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts on submission or to ask for revisions prior to formal peer review.
