Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Altered habitat: fragment

Protection: nature reserve

Substrate: ground surface

MAT: 25.0

MAP: 1025.0

Habitat comments: described by Soares et al. (2017, Revista Brasileira de Zoociências) as "25 hectares of Atlantic Forest, surrounded by sugarcane plantations and pastures. The rainy season typically lasts from April to August... The bat individuals were captured" at "the forest edge, natural clearings, next watercourses, and roosts"
MAP is based on Soares et al. (2017)
MAT is for the Reserva Ecológica Gurjaú and is from Oliveira et al. (2015, Brazilian Journal of Biology)

Life forms: bats

Sampling methods: no design, mist nets

Sample size: 326 captures or sightings

Years: 2007, 2008

Days: 24

Nets or traps: 4

Net or trap nights: 96

Basal area status: not applicable

Sampling comments: two collection events (presumably one night each) per month for 12 months: the number of net nights is unclear from Dantas-Torres et al. (2009)
according to Soares et al. (2017): "Four mist nets (12 m x 3 m, mesh 25 mm) were set between 18:00 h and 00:00 h on two to four nights during each month during the study period (May–November 2006 and March 2007–February 2008)" and also "Bats were captured in daytime roosts using a hand-net"; there were a total of 43 study nights over the three years
the seven months of 2006 data are not included by Dantas-Torres et al., who report on the 12 months of 2007 to 2008 data, suggesting there were 2.26 nights per month = 27 nights over 2007 to 2008 (roughly consistent with 24)
