Spanish term or phrase: nómadas de dosel
A pesar de las condiciones extremas generalizadas en la porción norte de la Serranía de Chiribiquete, el área presenta una alta diversidad de quirópteros, que además incluyó la representación de diversos hábitos alimenticios (murciélagos insectívoras de espacios abiertos y de follaje; formas piscívoras; nectarívoras; frugívoros nómadas de dosel y sedentarios de sotobosque); lo que indica que en esta región existen arreglos complejos de especies de murciélagos con adaptaciones específicas que les permiten aprovechar los recursos disponibles en este lugar. Es de anotar que en la diversidad de quirópteros registrada en los muestreos se tiene representación de grupos con diferentes afinidades biogeográficas, situación que señala al sistema de Chiribiquete como un punto de confluencia de faunas con orígenes diversos y punto transicional entre regiones de alta diversidad para este grupo como la Amazonia, la Guayana, los Andes norte y la Orinoquía
