Abstract
Abstract. Lesions of the pinnae of captive bats are common, but there are few reports for free-living bats. In those reports, causal agents of the lesions were attributed to mites, fungus, or a combination of factors, but specific information regarding pinna lesions is generally lacking. This is the first report in Mexico of pinna lesions, associated mites, and histopathological findings for 2 species of free-living bats: the Jamaican fruit-eating bat (Artibeus jamaicensis) and the Honduran yellow-shouldered bat (Sturnira hondurensis). Resumen. Reportes de lesiones en las pinas de murciélagos en cautiverio son comunes, pero hay pocos para murciélagos de vida libre. Aunque se han atribuido a agentes causales como ácaros, hongos o una combinación de factores, información específica sobre las causas que afectan las pinas es escasa. Este es el primer reporte en México de lesiones en pinas, ácaros asociados y hallazgos histopatológicos, para el murciélago frugívoro de Jamaica (Artibeus jamaicensis) y el murciélago de hombros amarillos de Honduras (Sturnira hondurensis) en vida libre.
期刊介绍:
The Western North American Naturalist places neither restriction nor preference on manuscripts within the disciplines of the biological sciences. Each issue treats diverse taxa from the perspectives of various disciplines (e.g., ecology, population dynamics, behavior, systematics, anatomy, and physiology).
