摘要

蝙蝠正面临着许多威胁,如土地利用变化、栖息地丧失、过度开发食物、风力涡轮机装置死亡、疾病和全球气候变化。确定蝙蝠物种的生物多样性可以帮助保护生物学家优先考虑蝙蝠保护的区域。在本研究中,我们收集了伊朗所有蝙蝠的分布记录,生成了第一张蝙蝠丰富度图,因为该国没有蝙蝠物种的丰富度图。通过建立广义线性模型,我们确定了影响全国蝙蝠物种丰富度的历史和环境因素。丰富度制图结果显示,扎格罗斯山脉是伊朗物种数量最多的地区。我们发现降水是影响伊朗蝙蝠丰富度的最大变量,解释了26%的物种丰富度变化。地形异质性占解释方差的19%,是蝙蝠丰富度的第二大决定因素。我们还估计了该国生物群落中蝙蝠组合的相似性。温带草原、稀树草原和灌丛是最明显的生物群落。另一方面,从蝙蝠种类分布来看,山地草原和灌丛地、沙漠和干旱灌丛地是最相似的生物群系。被确定具有较高物种多样性的地区是该国蝙蝠生物多样性保护的高度优先区域。温带草原、热带稀树草原和灌丛地是蝙蝠物种最独特的栖息地,具有重要的保护意义。因此,为了加强对蝙蝠的保护并维持它们提供的重要生态系统服务,我们必须清楚地了解它们的丰富程度和基本需求。

Biogeography of bats in Iran: Mapping and disentangling environmental and historical drivers of bat richness

Biogeography of bats in Iran: Mapping and disentangling environmental and historical drivers of bat richness

Bats are facing several threats like land-use change, habitat loss, overexploitation for food, mortality at wind energy turbine installations, disease, and climate change worldwide. Defining biodiversity of bat species can help conservation biologists to prioritize areas for bat conservation. In this study, we assembled distribution records of all bats of Iran to generate the first richness map of bats, as no richness map is available for bat species in the country. By constructing generalized linear models, we determined which historical and environmental factors drive the richness of bat species across the country. Results of richness mapping showed that Zagros Mountains host the highest number of species in Iran. We found that precipitation is the most influential variable in shaping bat richness in Iran by explaining 26% of variation in species richness. Topographic heterogeneity, with 19% of explained variance, was the second most important determinant of bat richness. We also estimated bat assemblage similarity among the biomes in the country. Temperate Grasslands, Savannas, and Shrublands biome was the most distinct biome based on bat assemblage. On the other hand, Montane Grasslands and Shrublands and Deserts and Xeric Shrublands were the most similar biomes based upon distributions of the bat species. Areas that were identified to have higher species diversity were regions with high priority for the conservation of bat biodiversity in the country. Temperate Grasslands, Savannas, and Shrublands, which host the most unique assemblage of bat species, have high importance for conservation. Therefore, to enhance the conservation of bats and maintain the important ecosystem services which they provide, we must have a clear knowledge of their richness and essential needs.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research (JZSER)is a peer-reviewed, international forum for publication of high-quality research on systematic zoology and evolutionary biology. The aim of the journal is to provoke a synthesis of results from morphology, physiology, animal geography, ecology, ethology, evolutionary genetics, population genetics, developmental biology and molecular biology. Besides empirical papers, theoretical contributions and review articles are welcome. Integrative and interdisciplinary contributions are particularly preferred. Purely taxonomic and predominantly cytogenetic manuscripts will not be accepted except in rare cases, and then only at the Editor-in-Chief''s discretion. The same is true for phylogenetic studies based solely on mitochondrial marker sequences without any additional methodological approach. To encourage scientific exchange and discussions, authors are invited to send critical comments on previously published articles. Only papers in English language are accepted.
