Nos últimos anos, a perda de habitat e a fragmentação foram as principais causas para o o declínio e/ou extinção de espécies e a urbanização é o principal fator que contribui para estes efeitos. A alteração antrópica dos habitats naturais resulta na simplificação da estrutura das taxocenoses de morcegos, o que resulta na drástica redução no número de espécies. Sendo assim a fragmentação coloca as espécies em situação de risco, podendo resultar no desaparecimento de espécies e na perda de populações geneticamente viáveis. Portanto, este livro reúne os resultados do inventário de quirópteros realizados no Parque Municipal Fazenda Lagoa do Nado, localizado no município de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. A espécie Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) foi a mais freqüente. Esta espécie tem sido relatada regularmente para ocorrer em áreas urbanas no Brasil, possivelmente devido ao seu comportamento oportunista, sugerindo certa tolerância à urbanização. Estes dados devem contribuir para o conhecimento das espécies de morcegos em parques urbanos no Brasil e deve ser útil para profissionais da área de zoologia e ecologia.
