Abstract
Los cambios en riqueza de especies, abundancia relativa y biomasa de los murciélagos fueron monitoreados a lo largo de un gradiente altitudinal (800 a 2,560 m) en la Sierra Madre Oriental en el este de México. En general, la riqueza de especies, densidad y biomasa estuvieron correlacionadas con la altitud; sin embargo, los murciélagos insectívoros fueron más numerosos en altitudes intermedias. Las especies frugívoras contribuyeron con la mayor proporción de la biomasa. Una especie migratoria (Tadarida brasiliensis) sólo fue colectada en el verano. Se sugiere que los patrones observados están correlacionados con la disponibilidad de alimento y las habilidades termorregulatorias de los murciélagos.
