| Diğer Bilgiler: | The fragmentation of primary forest cover has afected many especies and taxonomic groups due the lost of conectivity, the border effect and the lack of resources. For that reason biological corridors have been created as a conservation estrategy in many different countries. Considering the need for evaluating the social and biological viability of the Chorotega Biological Corridor (Diriá-Ostional), we selected the bat assembly as an important element in the biological evaluation. For that reason, in the present study we evaluated the diversity and assemblage of the bat comunity within the biological corridor. The main goal of the study was to evaluate the biological viability of the corridor for the bat assembly and to obtain information that will allow in the future the decition making in the area. During the presented study we registred 25 especies with a sampling effort of 54 hrs/net in 4 sampling points along the corridor. The majority of the especies registred are considered to be generalistic but important for the regeneration of the forest within the corridor given their wide seed dispersal capability. |
