Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox The Bogota fruit-eating bat (Dermanura bogotensis) is a species of bat found in South America.

Taxonomy and etymology

This bat was described in 1906 by Danish mammalogist Knud Andersen. He described it as a subspecies of the Gervais's fruit-eating bat, A. cinereus. The holotype had been collected near Bogotá, Colombia, undoubtedly inspiring the species name "bogotensis."[1] Later, beginning in 1987, the taxon was considered a subspecies of the silver fruit-eating bat, D. glauca. In 2008, researchers proposed that the Bogota fruit-eating bat should be elevated to species rank.[2]

It has pale brown fur and distinct white stripes on its face.[3] The length of its head and body is Шаблон:Convert. It lacks a tail. Its hind feet are Шаблон:Convert long; its ears are Шаблон:Convert; and its forearm is Шаблон:Convert long. It weighs Шаблон:Convert.[4]

Biology and ecology

This bat is frugivorous. It is bimodally polyestrous, meaning that it has two breeding seasons in a year. These breeding seasons correspond to seasonal fruit abundance.[5] Like many bat species, it is nocturnal, roosting in sheltered places during the day such as caves.[6]

Range and habitat

It has been documented in several countries in South America, including Colombia, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. It has been recorded at elevations from Шаблон:Convert above sea level. It is often found in montane forests.[7]
