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 "on the trail towards the summit of Chucantí, with many palm trees, oaks, fig trees, epiphytes, and bromeliads growing densely on tree branches and stems, and a few tall, giant trees. This site, to our knowledge, has not been used as agricultural land, and is the least disturbed of our sites, thus classified as primary forest"
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: 20 captures or sightings

Years: 2017

Days: 2

Seasons: wet or monsoon

Nets or traps: 2

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"
15 mist net hours, implying that only two nets were actually used
