List of bats of the Caribbean by island

The bat fauna of the Caribbean region is diverse.

For the purposes of this article, the "Caribbean" includes all islands in the Caribbean Sea (except for small islets close to the mainland) and the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, and Barbados, which are not in the Caribbean Sea but biogeographically belong to the same Caribbean bioregion.

Overview

edit

The genera of Caribbean bats are classified as follows:[1]

Greater Antilles and associated islands

edit

The four islands of the Greater Antilles, Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico, and the surrounding smaller islands are home to a diverse indigenous bat fauna.

Cuba

edit

Cuba, the largest of the Antilles, and its surrounding islands, of which the Isla de la Juventud is the most significant, harbor a diverse bat fauna.

Isla de la Juventud

edit

Isla de la Juventud is a large island south of Cuba and politically part of it.

Jamaica

edit
edit

Navassa Island is a small U.S. island between Jamaica and Hispaniola.

Hispaniola

Barbados

edit

Barbados lies east of the main island chain of the Lesser Antilles.

Trinidad

edit

Trinidad, the larger island of Trinidad and Tobago, is close to mainland Venezuela and as a result has a very diverse bat fauna, including over 60 species, more than on any other Caribbean island, including much larger islands such as Cuba and Hispaniola.[90]

Tobago

edit

Tobago is the smaller of the main islands of Trinidad and Tobago, located to the northeast of Trinidad.

ABC islands

edit

The ABC islands are three islands off northwestern Venezuela that are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Cozumel

edit

Cozumel is a large island near the mainland of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. In addition to the species listed here, Centurio senex, a species of Corynorhinus (possibly C. mexicanus), Glossophaga soricina, Mimon cozumelae, and Molossus rufus have also been mentioned for the island, but the specimens these records were based on may have come from mainland Mexico instead.[162]

Lighthouse Reef

edit

Lighthouse Reef is a coral atoll off Belize.

Roatán

edit

Roatán is a Honduran island in the southern Caribbean.

San Andrés

edit

San Andrés is a Colombian island, part of the department of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, isolated in the southwestern Caribbean.

edit

Providencia, also known as Old Providence, is another Colombian island in the San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina department.

Escudo de Veraguas

edit

Escudo de Veraguas is a small island off northwestern Panama. Despite the fact that it has been isolated from the mainland for only 9000 years, it supports at least two mammals that occur nowhere else, including the bat Dermanura watsoni incomitata and a sloth, Bradypus pygmaeus.[172] Several other mammals on the island also differ from mainland forms.[173]
