List of agricultural pests and disease vectors detected in the diet of insectivorous bats in northern Madagascar

This table is part of the PhD thesis of Carme Tuneu-Corral, entitled 'Bats and rice: promoting Integrated Pest Management to enhance biodiversity conservation'. It is the Table A4.3 of the supplementary material of the Chapter 5 'Beyond borders: evaluating the role of protected areas in promoting bat-mediated pest suppression in rural areas of northern Madagascar', and shows the list of agricultural pests (known and potential) and disease vectors detected in the diet of insectivorous bats, BOLD ID percentage (similarity), and information on the type of crops attacked or disease transmitted by them in Madagascar and/or continental Africa. Methodology: To evaluate whether bats were consuming agricultural pests or disease vectors, we only considered prey identified to species level. Using published scientific literature, we classified each arthropod species in one of the following categories: ‘non-pest prey’, ‘known human-disease vector’ (species confirmed as human-disease vector in Madagascar), ‘known livestock-disease vector’ (species confirmed as livestock-disease vector in Madagascar), ‘potential human-disease vector’ (species not confirmed as human-disease vector in Madagascar, but considered as such in continental Africa), ‘potential livestock-disease vector’ (species not confirmed as livestock-disease vector in Madagascar, but considered as such in continental Africa), ‘known agricultural pest’ (species confirmed as agricultural pest in Madagascar), ‘potential agricultural pest’ (species not confirmed as agricultural pest in Madagascar, but considered as such in continental Africa).本表格出自卡尔梅·图内-科拉尔（Carme Tuneu-Corral）的博士论文《蝙蝠与水稻：推广害虫综合治理（Integrated Pest Management）以促进生物多样性保护》，为第5章《跨越边界：评估保护区在马达加斯加北部农村地区促进蝙蝠介导的害虫抑制作用中的作用》补充材料中的表A4.3，内容涵盖食虫蝙蝠饮食中检测到的农业害虫（已知与潜在）及疾病媒介物列表、BOLD识别率（相似度），以及这些物种在马达加斯加和/或非洲大陆所侵害的作物类型或传播的疾病相关信息。 研究方法： 为评估蝙蝠是否取食农业害虫或疾病媒介物，本研究仅纳入经鉴定至物种级别的猎物。通过已发表的科学文献，我们将每一种节肢动物归为以下类别之一：‘非害虫猎物’、‘已知人类疾病媒介’（经马达加斯加地区证实为人类疾病传播媒介的物种）、‘已知牲畜疾病媒介’（经马达加斯加地区证实为牲畜疾病传播媒介的物种）、‘潜在人类疾病媒介’（未在马达加斯加地区被证实为人类疾病媒介，但在非洲大陆被归类为此类的物种）、‘潜在牲畜疾病媒介’（未在马达加斯加地区被证实为牲畜疾病媒介，但在非洲大陆被归类为此类的物种）、‘已知农业害虫’（经马达加斯加地区证实为农业害虫的物种）、‘潜在农业害虫’（未在马达加斯加地区被证实为农业害虫，但在非洲大陆被归类为此类的物种）。
