Pipistrelli del Madagascar

Pipistrelli del Madagascar

In Madagascar sono state descritte 45 differenti specie di pipistrelli, 38 delle quali sono endemiche. Tra di esse vi sono rappresentanti di ben 6 delle 8 famiglie di pipistrelli presenti in Africa. Una famiglia (Myzopodidae) ed un genere (Paremballonura) sono presenti solo in Madagascar. Tre generi (Eidolon, Coleura e Triaenops) hanno origini africane mentre altri (Pteropus, Emballonura e Mormopterus) sono di origine asiatica.^[1]

Il numero delle specie note ha subito un notevole incremento nel corso dell'ultimo decennio: nella checklist redatta da Daniel Bennet & John Russ nel 2001 venivano censite 31 specie^[2] ma al 2011 il numero delle specie segnalate è salito a 44^[3].

In verde

||sono contrassegnate le specie endemiche.

Lo stato di conservazione è indicato in base alla Lista rossa della Unione Internazionale per la Conservazione della Natura (IUCN).^[4]
