Resumo: | Myotis atacamensis occurs in southwestern Peru, and northern and central Chile. This species is considered Endangered (EN) by IUCN because of the strong dependence on desert and semi-arid habitat, which has become severely fragmented generating a lack of connectivity between populations. In this study, we describe the great ecological plasticiy for M. atacamensis through the description of its peculiar wing ecomorphology and the characterization of their variable calls. My results contribute to place M. atacamensis as one of the most abundant and common species in southwestern Peru, occupying environments from deserts with little vegetation to wetlands and dense riparian vegetation. This species is strategically adapted to those habitats due to its high maneuverability and broadband frequency modulated short calls. I discuss about its conservation status, diversity of habitat uses and distribution. |

Esta especie está considerada como En Peligro (EN) a nivel internacional por la IUCN por su especificidad al hábitat desértico y semiárido y la fuerte fragmentación de área de ocupación sin conectividad entre poblaciones. En este estudio, por medio de la descripción de su peculiar ecomorfología alar y de la caracterización de los llamados que son variables, se describe a la especie como de mayor plasticidad ecológica. Estos resultados contribuyen a ubicar a M. atacamensis como una de las especies más abundantes y comunes en el suroeste de Perú, al ocupar ambientes desde desiertos con escasa vegetación hasta humedales y montes ribereños con densa vegetación. Esta especie está estratégicamente adaptada a estos ambientes por su alta maniobrabilidad y amplios llamados de frecuencia modulada de corta duración. Además, se discute sobre su conservación, diversidad de uso de hábitat y distribución.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/115110.1590/SciELOPreprints.1151spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/1151/1746Copyright (c) 2020 Joaquín Ugartehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUgarte, Joaquínreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-08-28T08:33:52Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/1151Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-08-28T08:33:52SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
