摘要

We investigated the patterns of bat species richness, abundance and distribution along an altitudinal gradient in the West region of Cameroon from December 2016 to November 2018 with the use of mist nets. Captures were conducted at 32 sites distributed over six distinct elevational ranges, comprising five sites in elevation range I (< 750 m a.s.l.), four sites in elevation range П (750-1,000 m a.s.l.), eight sites in elevation range III (1,000-1,250 m a.s.l.), six sites in elevation range IV (1,250-1,500 m a.s.l.), six sites in elevation range V (1,500-1,750 m a.s.l.) and two sites in elevation range VI (> 1,750 m a.s.l.). A total of 442 bats were captured during 95 sampling nights, comprising 25 species, 16 genera and six families. Out of the 25 species, Myonycteris angolensis was the most abundant species captured with 80 individuals, followed by Micropteropus pusillus (61 individuals) and Eidolon helvum (60 individuals). Moreover, species richness peaked at the mid-elevation range III (1,000-1,250 m a.s.l.), with 13 species, with richness decreasing both at higher and lower elevations. Elevation range I had the second highest species richness with 12 species, while elevational range VI had the least species riches with three species. Species abundance peaked at elevation range IV (750-1,250 m a.s.l.) and decreases at higher elevations. The sample efficiency was estimated as 72.8% and a species accumulation curve of bats did not reach an asymptote, indicating that our sampling was incomplete.Our data showed that species richness and abundance is affected by elevation, with species richness probably depending on habitat types and availability of resources such as food and suitable roost sites. Our data also contributes to a better descriptionof the local fauna and fills gaps on the species distribution for high altitude sites.
