Detection and characterization of hemotropic mycoplasmas in bats in Chile
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2019-10-01) Millán, Javier ; Cevidanes, Aitor ; Sacristán, Irene; Alvarado-Rybak, Mario ; Sepúlveda, Gastón ; Ramos-Mella, Christopher A. ; Fulgencio Lisón; Lisón Gil, Fulgencio; Ecología e Hidrología
Hemoplasma DNA was found in 22% (12/55) of samples from six bat species in Chile, including one of three big-eared brown bats (Histiotus macrotus), one of three small big-eared brown bats (Histiotus montanus), and 10 of 27 Chilean myotis (Myotis chiloensis). Characterization of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene identified three genotypes phylogenetically related to other bat, rodent, and human hemoplasmas.

Effect of forest landscapes composition and configuration on bird community and its functional traits in a hotspot of biodiversity of Chile
(Elsevier, 2022-06-24) Camilo Matus-Olivares; Troncoso, Ernesto ; Catalan, German ; Jiménez-Franco, María Victoria; Lisón Gil, Fulgencio; Ecología e Hidrología
Understanding the effect of landscape configuration on the bird species richness and their functional traits (dietary preferences) is important to link the conservation and restoration plans to the production of the crops. Our aims were: 1) to study the influence of forest types (native, mixed and plantations) on the bird species richness in two agroforestry landscapes (heterogeneous/homogeneous); 2) to assess the effect of size/density of forest patches in the birds’ functional traits; 3) to evaluate the effect of isolated trees on them, and 4) to discuss conservation and restoration measures for the birds’ functional traits in agroforestry landscapes. We used hierarchical occupancy models to evaluate the effect of different landscape metrics and detectability measures on bird communities. We recorded a total of 64 bird species. The estimated species richness was considerable higher in homogeneous landscape (31.7 ± 2.7) than heterogeneous (27.3 ± 2.5). Our results showed the bird assemblage had a positive trend with native forests, negative with mixed forests and neutral trend for plantations. The granivores and insectivore’s species showed significant preferences for homogeneous landscape, while omnivores had significant preferences for heterogeneous landscape. Carnivores/Piscivores and herbivores/frugivores species did not show preferences by any landscape type. The response of functional traits depended on different forests attributes. The isolated trees had a significant effect on the birds’ functional traits. In conclusion, it is necessary a deep knowledge about the relationship between the landscape configuration and the bird species richness/functional traits. These findings could help in the future with the conservation, restoration, and rewilding policies in this important hotspot of biodiversity, avoiding alterations in the ecosystem services.

Bat ecology and conservation in semi-arid and arid landscapes: a global systematic review
(Wiley, 2019-11-22) Jiménez Franco, María V.; Altamirano, Adison; Haz, Ángeles; Calvo, José Francisco; Jones, Gareth; Lisón Gil, Fulgencio; Ecología e Hidrología
1. Semi-arid and arid landscapes (dry-lands) cover 41% of the Earth’s land surface over five continents. These areas are home to 55% of mammal spe cies. Bats have the second highest species richness among mammals, and, although many species are adapted to arid conditions, they are particularly sensitive in these habitats and require conservation priority.2. Information on bats in arid and semi-arid landscapes is scattered, patchy and focused on small-scale studies; therefore, we undertook a systematic re view using the PRISMA protocol to identify the current knowledge status, detect knowledge gaps and propose future research priorities. 3. We analysed 346 published articles and evaluated 40 topics within five topic categories (taxa studied, methodologies used, biology, ecology and conserva tion). The most commonly studied topic categories were ecology and biology. However, we found a gap in the topic category conservation (including topics such as conservation status and roost conservation). Our network analysis of topics within the categories showed that most ecology papers were focused on distribution, species richness and habitat use. 4. When we analysed keywords, we found that phylogeny, taxonomy and dis tribution demonstrated relatively high presence. Moreover, comparison of the percentage of studies conducted in dry-lands and the percentage of land surface area covered by dry-lands in the continents revealed that dry-lands in Africa and Australia were especially under-represented. Our review shows that knowledge of bats in semi-arid and arid landscapes is biased towards new records of the distribution of species, as well as covering systematic/taxonomic and morphological aspects of bat biology 5. We suggest that research on conservation measures and guidelines to protect the bat species found in semi-arid and arid landscapes should be prioritised, together with the sharing of knowledge with local practitioners and the de velopment of citizen science programmes.

Datos biométricos de cinco especies de murciélagos (Mammalia: Chiroptera) de la Región de Murcia (SE España)
(Murcia: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2012) Lisón Gil, Fulgencio; Departamento de Ecología e Hidrología
En los murciélagos, las medidas alares son elementos clave para identificar las especies y tienen serias implicaciones en su ecología. No obstante, dichas medidas pueden sufrir variaciones geográficas en el rango de distribución de las especies y en otros casos, puede existir un marcado dimorfismo sexual. En este trabajo se aportan las medidas alares de 5 especies de murciélagos de la Región de Murcia, con un total de 312 individuos analizados. Los resultados confirman que los individuos de nuestra región tienen medidas biométricas dentro del rango de variación de la especie, aunque para algunos valores se ha encontrado que los individuos de Murcia difieren en sus medidas de otros individuos ibéricos. Por otro lado, los resultados confirman la presencia de dimorfismo sexual para las medidas alares en Miniopterus schreibersii. Este trabajo resalta la necesidad de tener un mayor número de datos sobre biometría de los murciélagos ibéricos.

Conservation on the blink: Deficient technical reports threaten conservation in the Natura 2000 network
(Elsevier , 2017-02-10) Altamirano, Adison ; Field, Richard ; Jones, Gareth; Lisón Gil, Fulgencio; Ecología e Hidrología
Globally, laws define both where protected areas are and their level of protection. Usually, the legal protection is not absolute and alternative land-uses can be implemented if perceived gains outweigh conservation losses. Technical reports, describing the importance of each protected area, are therefore crucial for decision-making, impact assessments, mitigation policies and management plans, and thus effective conservation. While much research has focused on protected areas themselves, including the biodiversity they contain and the impact of illegal activities, almost no research has evaluated the adequacy of the technical reports. Given high levels of data availability, the European Natura 2000 network (N2000) might be expected to represent best practice. Here we compare known bat presences with records from Standard Data Forms (SDFs) of Spanish N2000 Special Areas of Conservation (SAC); the Habitats Directive protects all European bat species. Across 1206 SACs, we found far fewer bat species listed in the SDFs than are known to occur in the SACs they represent, for both Annex II and particularly Annex IV bat species. These findings have serious conservation implications, including that decisions are systematically biased against conservation outcomes: if SDFs greatly underestimate the conservation value of their SACs, development of the land (or sea) is much more likely to be permitted. Incorporating known species presences into the SDFs of SACs is low in cost and straightforward, and can potentially achieve tremendous conservation benefits for minimal outlay; it should therefore be a top conservation priority globally, and conservation scientists should urgently engage with government agencies, accordingly.

Ignoring seasonal changes in the ecological niche of non-migratory species may lead to biases in potential distribution models: lessons from bats
(Springer, 2018-04-13) Smeraldo, Sonia; Di Febbraro, Mirko ; Bosso, Luciano ; Flaquer, Carles ; Guixé, David ; Meschede, Angelika ; Juste, Javier ; Prüger, Julia ; Puig-Montserrat, Xavier ; Russo, Danilo ; Lisón Gil, Fulgencio; Ecología e Hidrología
Phenology is a key feature in the description of species niches to capture seasonality in resource use and climate requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) are widespread tools to evaluate a species’ potential distribution and identify its large-scale habitat preferences. Despite its chief importance, data phenology is often neglected in SDM development. Non-migratory bats of temperate regions are good model species to test the effect of data seasonality on SDM outputs because of their different roosting preferences between hibernation and reproduction. We hypothesized that (1) the output of SDMs developed for six non-migratory European bat species will differ between hibernation and reproduction; (2) models built from datasets encompassing both ecological stages will perform better than seasonal models. We employed a dataset of 470 independent occurrences of bat hibernacula and 400 independent records of nursery roosts of selected species and for each species we developed separate winter, summer and mixed (i.e. generated from both winter and summer occurrences) models. Seasonal and mixed potential ranges differed from each other and the direction of this difference was species-specific. Mixed models outperformed seasonal models in representing species niches. Our work highlights the importance of considering data seasonality in the development of SDMs for bats as well as many other organisms, including non-migratory species, otherwise the analysis will lead to significant biases whose consequences for conservation planning and landscape management may be detrimental.
