The Cuban greater funnel-eared bat (Natalus primus) is a species of funnel-eared bat. It is endemic to a cave on Isla de la Juventud (Isle of Pines) in Cuba.[2]

Natalus primus is a member of the order Chiroptera and the family Natalidae.[3]

Taxonomy

The bats within the genus Natalus have had a complex taxonomic history due to its morphological conservatism.[4] The taxonomy of Natalidae has been recently updated by the discovery and rediscovery of live species and fossils, and on the basis of new morphological and molecular evidence.[5]

Description

The Cuban greater funnel-eared bat has funnel-like ears and a tail as long as the head and body combined.[6] The dimensions/measurements collected on the Cuban greater funnel-eared bat (Natalus primus) were recorded as given. Legs were shorter than the forearm, dorsal hair length was 8-9 mm long, ventral hair length was 7-8 mm long, a single hair was divided into three different colors going from dark on the base, light in the middle, and the tip a little darker than the middle.[7] They have black, stiff hairs above the upper lip, much like a moustache, and white hairs below the lower lip. They have tan and reddish-brown fur with a paler belly.[8]

These bats have a diet consisting largely of moths, crickets, and beetles.[9] In 1992, the first living population was discovered in a cave in Cueva La Barca.[6] Caribbean hurricanes early in the evolutionary history of Natalids may account for specialized cave roosting.[10]

Conservation

Natalus primus is considered vulnerable and only inhabits one cave in Cueva La Barca on Isla de la Juventud island and province.[11] The population is abundant in that single cave, but this species is likely to go extinct due to its limited dispersal range,[6] human disturbance and loss of habitat.[12] It is estimated that there are only 100 mature individuals.[9]

This species is known to have become extirpated throughout most of Cuba suggesting a population decline that may have continued until the present.[13] The survival of Cuban bats is threatened by forest destruction and cave modification.[14]

Habitat loss through erosion is a major concern. The ongoing collapse of the cave roof is likely to upset the thermal balance in this hot cave and result in Natalus primus extinction.[6] Cave-dwelling Cuban bat species conservation should be a cooperative effort promoting research and habitat management.[14]
