The establishment of extensive livestock systems in the Colombian Caribbean Region has historically generated a strong loss of the tropical dry forest (TDF) with negative effects on biodiversity. Currently, the implementation of silvopastoral systems (SPS) has been proposed with strategy to curb the loss of biodiversity caused by the conventional management system (CS). The objective was to evaluate the effect of SPS and CS of extensive livestock on the assemblage of bats associated with fragments of TDF. During a continuous year and a sampling effort of 30,240 h-net/night, the structure and composition of bat assemblage between SPS and CS were compared. 2788 bats belonging to six families, 23 genera, and 39 species were captured. The Phyllostomidae family presented the highest species richness (S = 30), with the greatest abundance in the Stenodermatinae subfamily (n = 1543). Bat assemblage in the SPS fragments was more equitable; and the relative abundance per species, per genera, and per foraging guilds was also significantly higher. The capture success showed significant variations between the climatic seasons (dry and rainy). The rate of species turnover was higher in the CS fragments. The species Artibeus planirostris, Artibeus lituratus, Carollia perspicillata, Carollia castanea, Phyllostomus discolor, Dermanura phaeotis, Uroderma convexum, Glossophaga soricina, C. brevicauda, and Sturnira lilium accounted for 92% of the captures. In conclusion, frugivorous bats were more abundant in the SPS, type of extensive livestock management that can generate greater temporal stability of bat assemblage. This research provides the first scientific evidence of the positive effect of silvopastoral management on the diversity of bats in tropical dry forest areas of the Colombian Caribbean region.

在哥伦比亚加勒比地区建立广泛的畜牧系统历来造成热带干旱森林 (TDF) 的严重损失，对生物多样性产生负面影响。目前，已经提出了实施林牧系统（SPS）的战略，以遏制由传统管理系统（CS）造成的生物多样性丧失。目的是评估大量牲畜的 SPS 和 CS 对与 TDF 碎片相关的蝙蝠组合的影响。在连续的一年和 30,240 h-net/night 的采样工作中，对 SPS 和 CS 之间蝙蝠组合的结构和组成进行了比较。共捕获蝙蝠6科23属39种2788只。该Phyllostomidae家庭提出了物种丰富度最高（小号 = 30)，在Stenodermatinae亚科中丰度最高(n = 1543)。SPS 碎片中的蝙蝠组合更加公平；每个物种、每个属和每个觅食行会的相对丰度也显着更高。捕获成功表明气候季节（干燥和雨天）之间存在显着差异。CS 片段中的物种周转率更高。物种Artibeus planirostris、Artibeus lituratus、Carollia perspicillata、Carollia castanea、Phyllostomus discolor、Dermanura phaeotis、Urodermaconvexum、Glossophaga soricina、C. brevicauda和Sturnira lilium占捕获量的 92%。总之，食果蝙蝠在 SPS 中更为丰富，这是一种粗放式牲畜管理，可以产生更大的蝙蝠组合时间稳定性。这项研究提供了第一个科学证据，证明林牧管理对哥伦比亚加勒比地区热带干旱森林地区的蝙蝠多样性产生了积极影响。
