The structure and composition of bat assembly, and fruit consumption by some species in a low nonflooded forest of the Yanachaga Chemillén National Park (Perú) during February 2019 was studied. 150 bats of 30 species belonging to three families (Phyllostomidae, Vespertilionidae, Emballonuridae) were captured. Phyllostomidae presented the highest richness, while the most abundant species were Artibeus obscurus and Carollia perspicillata. 63 fecal samples from 13 species of frugivorous bats were collected. This study highlights the role of bats as seed dispersers of pioneer plants.
