Globally, bats are of interest in many studies, beyond their ecological or epidemiological relevance or even the ecomorphological diversity of species. In Brazil, most of the indexed studies on chiropterans date from 1954, with a slow and heterogeneous progress in the publication increasing. The aim of this study was to analyze the literature on bats in Brazil, identifying patterns, tendencies and knowledge gaps in the Brazilian federal states. We carried out a sistematyzed search on the online databases Clarivate Analytics Web of Science (WoS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), PubMed and Scopus. We used the descriptive terms "Chiroptera" and "Brazil". Besides these bases, we included data from the manuscripts published in Chiroptera Neotropical. We obtained a total of 1,115 articles, which were analyzed and classified in 22 thematic categories based on the articles' approach. We observed that each Brazilian region and state had particularities in their knowledge panoramas of bats, not being possible to generalize conditions for each federal region. Even though the increasing in the number of articles by categories, we encourage that every approach keep being developded, once no thematic could had been considered enough explored till the moment.
在全球范围内，蝙蝠不仅在生态或流行病学方面具有重要意义，甚至在物种的生态形态多样性方面也具有重要意义，因此在许多研究中都受到关注。在巴西，大多数关于蝙蝠的索引研究都可以追溯到 1954 年，随着出版物的缓慢而不均匀的增加，其研究也在逐渐增多。本研究旨在分析巴西的蝙蝠文献，确定巴西各州的模式、趋势和知识空白。我们在 Clarivate Analytics Web of Science（WoS）、Scientific Electronic Library Online（SciELO）、PubMed 和 Scopus 等在线数据库中进行了系统搜索。我们使用了描述性术语“蝙蝠”和“巴西”。除了这些数据库，我们还包括了在《新热带蝙蝠》杂志上发表的手稿中的数据。我们共获得了 1115 篇文章，根据文章的方法对这些文章进行了分析和分类为 22 个主题类别。我们观察到，巴西的每个地区和州在蝙蝠知识方面都有其特殊性，不能将每个联邦地区的条件一概而论。尽管各分类的文章数量都在增加，但我们鼓励每一种方法都能继续发展，因为目前还没有任何一个主题可以被认为已经足够深入。
