CHACON-PACHECO, Julio J.; SALCEDO-RIVERA, Gerson A.  e  ZARRATE-CHARRY, Diego A.. Mammals of the Department of Sucre, Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.2, e1022.  Epub 22-Jun-2022. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/2539200x.1022.

We present a list of mammals in the department of Sucre, based on the review of specimens deposited in biological collections, new and verifiable records in scientific literature. We found 143 species, representing 26.3% of mammals recorded for Colombia. Five species are endemic to Colombia, Cebus versicolor, Pattonomys semivillosus, Proechimys chrysaeolus, Saguinus oedipus and Sylvilagus sanctaemartae; five are categorized as Data Deficient, and 13 and 17 in some category of threat at national and global level, respectively. The bat Ametrida centurio is recorded for the first time in Colombia, based on a photograph taken in the municipality of Santiago de Tolú. We recorded higher species richness to the north of the department, in the sub-regions Golfo de Morrosquillo and Montes de Maria, probably the result of the increased collection effort. It is necessary to increase local efforts, due to insufficient or null exploration in some areas of the department.
