First records of the endangered Atacama Myotis Myotis atacamensis (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae), at high altitude in the Parinacota Province, northern Chile

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Myotis atacamensis is a bat species with severely fragmented populations along the coast of Peru and Chile, recently considered as Endangered by the IUCN because of habitat fragmentation. Here we report for the first time records of the species via echolocation call analysis at localities above 3000 melevation, increasing the distribution of the species by more than 1000 min altitude.
