OSSA, Gonzalo; VILCHES, Karol  y  FAUNDEZ, Pablo Valladares. First records of the endangered Atacama Myotis Myotis atacamensis (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae), at high altitude in the Parinacota Province, northern Chile. Idesia [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.4, pp.75-78. ISSN 0718-3429.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-34292017000400075.

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 echolo-cation call analysis at localities above 3000 melevation, increasing the distribution of the species by more than 1000 min altitude.

Palabras clave : Arica y Parinacota Region; endangered species; desert ecosystem; echolocation; high altitude..
