Bizarre bat with longest tongue discovered in Bolivian
park

Summary:

A groundbreaking Bolivian scientific
expedition, Identidad Madidi, has found a bizarre bat along with a new species
of big-headed or robber frog (Oreobates sp. nov.) from the Craugastoridae
family in Madidi National Park.

..............................

WCS reports that the groundbreaking
Bolivian scientific expedition, Identidad Madidi, has found a bizarre bat along
with a new species of big-headed or robber frog (Oreobates sp. nov.) from the
Craugastoridae family in Madidi National Park.

The researchers found the bizarre
tube-lipped nectar bat (Anoura fistulata) -- the first record of this
species in the park. Described in Ecuador just a decade ago and known from only
three records. It has the longest tongue in relation to its size of any mammal
-- stretching 8.5 cm to reach into the deepest flowers.

The frog was found during the first leg
of an 18-month long expedition to chronicle the staggering wildlife living in
what is believed to be the world's most biodiverse park.

James Aparicio and Mauricio Ocampo, two
professional herpetologists from the Bolivian Faunal Collection and the
National Natural History Museum, immediately suspected they had found something
exceptional in the first week of the expedition in the tropical montane
savannas and gallery forests of the Apolo region of Bolivia. Subsequent
examination of available literature supports this discovery as a probable new
species for science to be confirmed with forthcoming genetic studies.

James Aparicio said, "Robber frogs
are small to medium-sized frogs distributed in the Andes and Amazon region and
to date there are 23 known species. As soon as we saw these frogs' distinctive
orange inner thighs, it aroused our suspicions about a possible new species,
especially because this habitat has never really been studied in detail before
Identidad Madidi."

Mauricio Ocampo added, "We have
spent the last two months ruling out known species at the Bolivian Faunal
Collection and also from published accounts, especially recently described
species from southern Peru, but we are now confident that this will indeed be
confirmed as a new species for science once genetic analyses are completed."

Identidad Madidi is a
multi-institutional effort to describe still unknown species and to showcase
the wonders of Bolivia's extraordinary natural heritage at home and abroad. The
expedition officially began on June 5th, 2015 and will eventually visit 14
sites lasting for 18 months as a team of Bolivian scientists works to expand
existing knowledge on Madidi's birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish
along an altitudinal pathway descending more than 5,000 meters (more than
16,000 feet) from the mountains of the high Andes into the tropical Amazonian
forests and grasslands of northern Bolivia.

Participating institutions include the
Ministry of the Environment and Water, the Bolivian National Park Service, the
Vice Ministry of Science and Technology, Madidi National Park, the Bolivian
Biodiversity Network, WCS, the Institute of Ecology, Bolivian National
Herbarium, Bolivian Faunal Collection and Armonia with funding from the Gordon
and Betty Moore Foundation and WCS.

Teresa Chávez, Director of the Bolivian
Biodiversity and Protected Areas Directorate expressed her satisfaction with
the scientific results of the Identidad Madidi expedition: "The
description of a new species of robber frog (Oreobates) for science is
important news for the country as it confirms the extraordinary biodiversity of
Madidi National Park and demonstrates the importance of scientific research in
protected areas."

Across the first two study sites in June
and July the Identidad Madidi team registered 208 and 254 species of vertebrates
respectively, including an impressive 60 species of vertebrates that are new
records for the official park list: 15 fish, 5 amphibians, 11 reptiles, 4 birds
and 25 mammals. Five of these additions, three catfish, a lizard and another
frog, are candidate new species for science and the team continues efforts to
determine their identity. Notable new records for the park include the
incredible tube-lipped nectar bat (Anoura fistulata) with a record
breaking tongue and only a fourth continental distribution record since its
discovery in 2005; the beautiful but deadly annellated coral snake (Micrurus
annellatus); the bizarre Hagedorn's tube-snouted ghost knifefish (Sternarchorhynchus
hagedornae); and the long-tailed rice rat (Nephelomys keaysi).

Dr. Robert Wallace of the Wildlife
Conservation Society stated, "This is just the beginning. We are
incredibly proud of the team's efforts across the first two study sites and
while we are expecting more new species for science, as important is the astounding
number of additional species confirmed for Madidi further establishing it as
the world´s most biologically diverse park."

The next leg of the expedition will
begin on August 20th and will explore three study sites in the High Andes of
Madidi, specifically within the Puina valley between 3,750 meters (12,303 feet)
and 5,250 meters (17,224 feet) above sea level in Yungas paramo grasslands,
Polylepis forests and high mountain puna vegetation.
