dc.description.abstractThe common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) is a sanguivorous (i.e., blood-eating) bat species distributed in the Americas from northern Mexico southwards to central Chile and Argentina. Desmodus rotundus is one of only three mammal species known to feed exclusively on blood, mainly from domestic mammals, although large wildlife and occasionally humans can also serve as a food source. Blood feeding makes D. rotundus an effective transmissor of pathogens to its prey. Consequently, this species is a common target of culling efforts by various individuals and organizations. Nevertheless, little is known about the historical distribution of D. rotundus. Detailed occurrence data are critical for the accurate assessment of past and current distributions of D. rotundus as part of ecological, biogeographical, and epidemiological research. This article presents a dataset of D. rotundus historical occurrence reports, including >39,000 locality reports across the Americas to facilitate the development of spatiotemporal studies of the species. Data are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/ m9.figshare.15025296.en
dc.description.notesThe authors would like to thank the institutions and individuals that made their data openly available for this project and that participated in the technical validation process. We thank Daniel G. Streicker for providing critical data of the species' distribution in Peru; Fernando Sarmiento Parra, Hugo Lopez, Joaquin Guillermo Ramirez Gil, and Abelardo Rodriguez Bolanos who provided data from Colombia; Andrea Najera and Sergio Guillermo Perez who provided data from Guatemala, and Silene Manrique Rocha who provided data from Brazil. We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of Diego Soler-Tovar and David Treanor in the curation of occurrence data.
