DESCRIPTION:Caves are among the most important roosts of hundreds of bat sp
 ecies worldwide. However\, caves can be formed in different lithologies. C
 ave structure and characteristics\, which are shaped by lithology\, can\, 
 in turn\, influence roost preferences for different bat species. Therefore
 \, cave lithology and characteristics can help us better understand why so
 me bat species may be rare in some caves and common in others. Brazil is a
  continental country rich in bat species (182 spp.)\, lithologies\, and ca
 ves (&gt\; 23\,000). However\, only a small fraction of the known caves ha
 ve been sampled for bats so far\, with no emphasis on the role lithology m
 ay have. Based on a literature review and using data on bat occurrence\, i
 n this study\, we explore the bat species rarity in Brazilian caves and in
 vestigate the influence of lithology on bat species richness. We considere
 d the caves' type of use (primarily\, regular or occasional) that each bat
  species presents in the country's different biomes and the relationship b
 etween lithology and cave size. We highlight the presence of endangered sp
 ecies in the caves and its conservation implications.\nSpeaker: Jenni Barr
