Resumen
Los murciélagos son animales predominantemente nocturnos, pero algunos estudios, principalmente de regiones templadas e islas, reportan murciélagos volando durante el día. Reportamos el forrajeo diurno de tres especies de murciélagos en México, una especie de la familia Vespertilionidae, y dos Phyllostomidae (Anoura y Artibeus). Además, documentamos el primer registro in situ del consumo de frutos en el suelo para Artibeus. El vuelo diurno en murciélagos es una conducta poco documentada en los trópicos. Además, sugerimos que el calor extremo y sequías pueden influenciar esta conducta, pues dos reportes ocurrieron durante periodos de sequías.
