Heavy metals in bat (chiroptera) species associated with a farm under silvopastoral management in the department of Cordoba, Colombia

| description | In this paper evaluated for the first time in the department of Córdoba, levels of trace elements (Zn, Cu, Pb and Hg) in muscle and liver of eight bats species of the families Phyllostomidae and Emballonuridae, present in a farm with silvopastoral management. The concentration of heavy metals was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry with graphite furnace (Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu) and cold vapor (Hg). Heavy metals were found in 24 bats of eight species. The heavy metal content in different tissues followed the order Zn> Cu> Pb> Hg for most species. The concentration of heavy metals in liver and muscle showed statistically significant differences. Contamination by heavy metals in bats associated with a silvopastoral system may be related to the use of agrochemicals, pesticides and phosphate compounds for this agro-ecosystem management. |

Metales pesados en especies de murciélagos (Quiróptera) asociados a una finca bajo manejo silvopastoril en el departamento de Córdoba, Colombia. En este trabajo se evaluó por primera vez para el departamento de Córdoba los niveles de oligoelementos (Zn, Cu,Pb y Hg) en músculo e hígado de ocho especies de murciélagos de las familias Phyllostomidae y Emballonuridae, presentes en una finca con manejo silvopastoril. Se determinó la concentración de metales pesados por espectrofotometría de absorción atómica con horno de grafito (Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu) y vapor frío (Hg). Se encontraron metales pesados en 24 murciélagos de ocho especies. El contenido de metales pesados en los diferentes tejidos siguió el orden Zn > Cu > Pb > Hg para la mayoría de las especies. La concentración de metales pesados en hígado y músculo presentaron diferencias estadísticas significativas. La contaminación por metales pesados en murciélagos asociados a un sistema silvopastoril posiblemente esté relacionada con el empleo de agroquímicos, pesticidas y compuestos fosfatados para el manejo de este agroecosistema.
