蝙蝠作为种子传播者、传粉者、昆虫控制者和营养循环者，在生态系统中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，目前还没有对世界所有生物地理区域蝙蝠的这些作用进行全面的全球评估。通过对近20年来发表的相关文献进行综述，筛选出283篇相关研究，其中蝙蝠控制潜在害虫的研究78篇，其他节肢动物的抑制研究80篇，本土或特有种种子传播研究60篇，引进植物种子传播研究11篇，本土或特有种授粉研究29篇，引进植物授粉研究1篇，鸟粪肥料利用研究24篇。我们的文献检索显示，将“种子传播”、“食虫蝙蝠”、“食蜜蝙蝠”、“鸟粪利用”和“生态系统服务”这几个词结合起来的查询返回了577项研究，但不到一半是实验性的。研究发现，生态系统服务功能评价主要集中在新热带和古北纬地区。为了检测所选研究之间的差异，并解释蝙蝠提供的生态系统服务研究的趋势，我们采用了拟合泊松分布的广义线性混合模型（GLMM）来分析不同采样方法的潜力。我们确定了提供生态系统服务的409种蝙蝠（752种蝙蝠消耗的昆虫和549种蝙蝠传播或授粉的植物）。我们的综述总结了保护蝙蝠种群及其提供的生态服务的重要性，这在当前冠状病毒大流行期间是一个特别重要的问题。这篇文章受版权保护。版权所有。
Bats play crucial ecosystem services as seed dispersers, pollinators, controllers of insect, and nutrient recyclers. However, there has not been a thorough global review evaluating these roles in bats across all biogeographical regions of the world. We reviewed the literature published during the last two decades and identified 283 relevant studies: 78 studies where bats controlled potential insect pests, 80 related to the suppression of other arthropods, 60 on the dispersal of native or endemic seeds, 11 related to the dispersal of seeds of introduced plants, 29 on the pollination of native or endemic plants, one study of pollination of introduced plants, and 24 on the use of guano as fertilizer. Our literature search showed that queries combining the terms "seed dispersal", "insectivorous bats", "nectarivorous bats", "use of guano" and "ecosystem services" returned 577 studies, but less than half were experimental in nature. We found that the evaluation of ecosystem services has been mostly conducted in the Neotropical and Palearctic regions. To detect differences in the selected studies, and to explain trends in the study of ecosystem services provided by bats, we performed generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) fitted with a Poisson distribution to analyze the potential of different sampling methods. We identified 409 bat species that provide ecosystem services (752 insect species consumed by bats and 549 plant species either dispersed or pollinated by bats). Our review summarizes the importance of conserving bat populations and the ecological services they provide, which is an especially crucial concern during the current coronavirus pandemic.
