Artibeus schwartzi ( İngilizce )

wikipedia EN tarafından sağlandı

Artibeus schwartzi, or Schwartz's fruit-eating bat, is a species of bat found in the Lesser Antilles. It was previously considered a subspecies of the Jamaican fruit bat, (A. jamaicensis). It has been hypothesized that it arose from hybridization of three Artibeus species: A. jamaicensis, A. planirostris, and an unknown third species.[2]

Taxonomy and etymology

A. schwartzi was described as a new subspecies of the Jamaican fruit bat in 1978.[3] In 2007, however, Larsen et al. determined that A. schwartzi should be recognized as a full species based on genetic data.[2] The eponym for the species name "schwartzi" is in honour of American biologist Albert Schwartz.[4]

Biology and ecology

It is likely frugivorous.[1]

Range and habitat

It is endemic to the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea. Its range includes Barbados, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. It has been documented at elevations up to 120 m (390 ft) above sea level.[1]

Conservation

As of 2016, it is assessed as a data deficient species by the IUCN. Very little is known about this species, and its population size and trend are unknown.[1]

Поширення

Країни поширення: Барбадос, Гренада, Монтсеррат, Сент-Кітс і Невіс, Сент-Люсія, Сент-Вінсент і Гренадини, Тринідад і Тобаго[1].

Поведінка

Очікується, що це кочівний фруктоїдний вид. Ймовірно, споживає плоди Фікуса та інші фрукти з верхніх частин дерев. Цей вид був виловлений поблизу бананових плантацій[1].

Загрози й охорона

Як і інші види малих островів, ці кажани страждають від суворих погодних умов (тропічних штормів), а також від трансформації природних лісів у житлові райони та плантації[1].

На цих островах є декілька лісових та природних заповідників, і цей вид може бути захищений у них[1].
