Resumen
Los murciélagos frugívoros tienen una alta capacidad de dispersión de semillas contribuyendo al establecimiento de numerosas especies vegetales. Aquí, examinamos la dieta frugívora de los murciélagos filostómidos en el Parque Nacional Cavernas do Peruaçu, al norte de Minas Gerais, Brazil, una región de ecotonos de los biomas de Caatinga y Cerrado. Realizamos cuatro expediciones entre diciembre de 2008 y noviembre de 2009, totalizando 80 noches de muestreo, para recolectar datos y heces de murciélagos capturados. Artibeus planirostris y Carollia perspicillata proporcionaron el mayor número de muestras fecales. Se registraron cuatro familias de plantas, el mayor número para Cecropiaceae, seguida de Solanaceae; Piperaceae y Moraceae.
