Small mammals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Small mammals accounted for the majority of new mammal records registered by Identidad Madidi. Pre-expedition studies on bats identified a baseline of 68 species. Using a combination of assessment methods, a total of 83 bat species were recorded during Identidad Madidi, of which 35 are new records for the park and 3 are new to Bolivia. It is possible that two of these records are new species for science: Sturnira<\/em> sp. nov. e Histiotus<\/em> sp. Currently, the list of confirmed bats for Madidi totals 103 species.<\/p>\n

En cuanto a los peque\u00f1os mam\u00edferos terrestre, antes de la expedici\u00f3n se ten\u00edan reportadas 25 especies. En los tres a\u00f1os de estudio se identificaron 74 especies, de los cuales 53 fueron nuevas para el parque, aumentando a 79 la lista de especies, y cuatro de las cuales son candidatas para la ciencia. Algunas de de las especies reportadas por primera vez en Madidi fueron: Chinchillula sahamae<\/em>, observed in the Yungas and high Andean p\u00e1ramo habitats; Nectomys apicalis<\/em>, an aquatic rat from the piedmont forest of the upper Madidi; Dactylomys boliviensis<\/em>, a bamboo rat of the Mamacona montane forest; the four-eyed opossum, Philander canus<\/em>, and another opossum Cryptonanus unduaviensis<\/em>, both species recorded in the Heath grasslands; and the second record for Bolivia of Lestoros inca<\/em>, a treeline forest marsupial.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Medium and large-sized mammals<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the three years of Identidad Madidi sampling, 14 new records were obtained for the park, representing a 24% increase over the baseline. The baseline before the expedition was 59 species, which increased to 73 confirmed species of medium and large mammals with the new records generated during the expedition, including species of conservation relevance, such as the Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita<\/em>), the pampas cat (Leopardus garleppi<\/em>) and the vicu\u00f1a (Vicugna vicugna<\/em>).<\/p>\n
