Title A name given to the resource LA HETEROGENEIDAD DEL PAISAJE DEL BORDE NORTE DE BOGOTÁ (COLOMBIA) AFECTA LA ACTIVIDAD DE LOS MURCIÉLAGOS INSECTÍVOROS LANDSCAPE HETEROGENEITY OF BOGOTÁ’S NORTHERN BORDER (COLOMBIA) AFFECTS INSECTIVOROUS BATS’ ACTIVITY Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Francisco Sánchez Description An account of the resource El borde norte de la Bogotá, Colombia, es un mosaico de ecosistemas transformados (urbanizaciones, cultivos, pastizales) y ecosistemas naturales (bosques andinos, humedales). En la actualidad, no se conoce cómo dicha heterogeneidad espacial afecta la ecología de las especies silvestres que sobreviven en la ciudad. Se propuso, que la heterogeneidad del paisaje del norte de Bogotá afecta el patrón temporal de actividad de los murciélagos insectívoros y su uso de hábitat. Se esperaba encontrar diferentes patrones de actividad temporal y de uso en sitios con diferentes grados de alteración humana. Se hicieron inspecciones acústicas en sitios con remanentes naturales, sitios con iluminación artificial y cercana a vías para automóviles. Los murciélagos insectívoros se registraron, tanto en áreas con remanentes naturales como intervenidas a lo largo del norte de Bogotá. La actividad de los murciélagos insectívoros cerca a vías importantes aumentó al avanzar la noche, mientras que en sitios sin vías principales fue en las primeras horas de la noche. Esto sugiere, que los murciélagos evitan zonas con alto flujo vehicular y estas vías reducen la disponibilidad de hábitats para los murciélagos insectívoros, al menos, en las primeras horas de la noche. Los sitios con iluminación artificial concentraron mayor actividad de forrajeo que sitios sin ella. La iluminación artificial parece beneficiar a algunos murciélagos, que encuentran allí parches, donde se acumulan sus presas potenciales y, es posible, que dicha iluminación se pueda usar en áreas agrícolas de la ciudad, para el control de poblaciones plaga, con la ayuda de los murciélagos.The northern border of Bogotá, Colombia, is a mosaic of transformed ecosystems (urbanizations, crops, pastures) and natural ecosystems (Andean forests, wetlands). Currently it is not known how such landscape heterogeneity affects the ecology of wild species that survive in the city. It was hypothesized that landscape heterogeneity affects insectivorous bats’ activity and habitat use. It was expected to find different temporal activity patterns and use of sites with different degrees of human intervention. To test these predictions, acoustic monitoring was used at natural ecosystems, sites with artificial illumination and near highways. Insectivorous bats were found both in natural and transformed ecosystems throughout Bogotá’s northern border. Insectivorous bats’ activity near highways increased toward midnight, whereas in areas with no major streets activity was higher few hours after sunset. This suggests that bats avoid areas with high vehicular flow and they reduce habitat availability for bats, at least during the first hours of the night. Sites with artificial illumination had higher foraging activity than places without it. Thus, the presence of artificial illumination seems to benefit some bats that encounter patches where potential prey accumulate, and it is possible that such illumination may be used in agricultural areas of the city to control pests with the bats’ help.
