Hi, the most current is: Bats in the Anthropocene: Conservation

of Bats in a Changing World;

or you can also consult: "Bat Biology, Genomes, and the Bat1K Project: To Generate Chromosome-Level Genomes Bat for All Living Species, available here:

This was really helpful. Thankyou very much.

A lot of references quotes about 1,232 (Shipper et al., 2008, Meyer et al., 2011, 2014) but it was updated as 1,300 (Shi and Rabosky, 2015). Further, if you needs PDF file of mentioned references, i can provide.

from National Bat Conference 2018 -

Keynote talk: Challenges and opportunities of global bat conservation by Winifred Frick (Saturday 8 September 2018) -

1386 species now recognized (Nancy Simmons, personal communication)

Marco Riccucci This is really fresh. Thankyou very much. And 1386 is huge. I guess I should wait for Dr. Simmons and BCI(Dr. Frick) to come out with a publication really soon.

Respected Marco Riccucci and Rajlakshmi Mishra the recent update on the diversity of bats is 1386 but other than web notes on bats, it is not observe in any publication. I am also eagerly waiting for it.

Raj, this is a helpful reference to your question. Burgin et al., 2018 recently published the updated numbers of mammals in the world https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article-abstract/99/1/1/4834091

Thankyou Kriz Krizler C. Tanalgo . If you have this full paper, will you send it across on my email?

Thanks

Rajlakshmi Mishra here it is! All the best!

Thank you so much Kriz.

There is also an informal update made last week in the NASBR conference: https://twitter.com/jonrflanders/status/1055469135977680896

Incidentally, is there an existing list of number of bats species per country (at least the estimated number)? I've been looking for it in the web but no luck in finding it. Thanks ahead!

Here is the list of Brazil:

Krizler C. Tanalgo Hey Kriz! Here is the latest database from India. And you have a very valid and interesting point. It would be really useful to have separate databases from different countries.

Hi,

this is a helpful database for African bats:

Technical Report African Chiroptera Report 2018

Thank you Gerson Paulino Lopes Rajlakshmi Mishra @Bakwo Fils for providing this list. I raised a separate discussion here on RG https://www.researchgate.net/post/Latest_number_of_bat_species_per_country_territory for this concern.

1411 species world wide

Hi,

Here is the database of all bat species

http://bat1k.ucd.ie/species-database/

Hi.

The best source about the subject is probably the next, forthcoming volume (Vol. 9) on bats within the series HANDBOOK OF THE MAMMALS OF THE WORLD, of Lynx Editorial (Barcelona, Spain). We will find in it a complete commented list and illustrations of all the bat species living in the world. See this link:

https://www.lynxeds.com/es/hmw/handbook-mammals-world-volume-9.

Best regards.

In Algeria there is 26 species of Microchiroptera.

Thanks Rajlakshmi for this question, its interesting to know. At many times, we use to write number of species of bat in research papers and don't find recent publication of that.

It seems that the most reliable way to get this information is to ask researchers from the countries concerned for the latest data. But Dr Daniela Hamidowic declared that she is currently collecting material for a larger database for individual countries. Of course, there are countries, of which there are not currently up-to-date faunistic publications of this kind, only data from, for example, 2005, are available.
