A tripartite survey of hyperparasitic fungi associated with ectoparasitic flies on bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in a neotropical cloud forest in Panama. Parasite 25(19):1-20 [ER 2727]

Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest

Altered habitat: secondary forest

Protection: nature reserve

Substrate: ground surface

MAT: 25.5

MAP: 1941.0

Habitat comments: "a large area of submontane forest surrounded by livestock pastures although still in contact with original vegetation. The reserve has premontane wet forests and tropical moist forests" and specifically a "site with old-growth broadleaf character- istics presenting proliferation of secondary vegetation and loss of arboreal cover, adjacent to a river and waterfall, with flyways heavily disturbed by horses, construction workers, and staff of the nature reserve; young secondary succession"
climate data are for Chucantí Nature Reserve and are from Méndez-Carvajal et al. (2015, Tecnociencia)

Life forms: bats

Sampling methods: no design, mist nets

Sample size: 77 captures or sightings

Sampling comments: sampling was in the rainy season in June 2017
"Bats were captured using three to four 6-m ground level mistnets (36-mm mesh, 4 shelves, Avinet, Portland, ME, USA)... The nets were usually open from sunset to around 11 pm and examined every 10 min"
25.7 mist net hours, implying that only two nets were actually used
