Resumen

Resumen: La producción agrícola convencional es una de las causas principales de pérdida de cobertura boscosa actualmente, por lo cual medidas como la agricultura regenerativa proponen una solución a la demanda de alimentos que a su vez conserva la cobertura forestal. Con esto surgen interrogantes ante como se pueden establecer métricas fiables y que bioindicadores pueden darnos respuestas a los diferentes niveles de sucesión en la regeneración de los bosques. Los murciélagos son un grupo con una alta variabilidad en sus dietas y demás necesidades, por lo que surgen como excelentes bioindicadores para este tipo de estudios. Se realizó un monitoreo de un año en las 6 huertas del Programa Costa Rica Regenerativa ubicado en Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Se registraron 31 especies en las 6 huertas con un total de 347 individuos, además se buscaron similitudes entre las distintas comunidades mediante dos métricas distintas (Jaccard y Morisita).
