The influence of the landscape mosaic on the composition of the bat fauna regarding its trophic guild in a ranch area of northern Pantanal was evaluated. Seven trophic categories and five foraging strategies were found, composing 11 guild associations. Cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) revealed the structure of the data and enabled a broader understanding of resource exploitation. The similarity between sites for the presence of guilds was moderate, with the presence of aerial insectivores and trawling insectivores occurring in most of them, mainly in pasture areas and in the cambará forest. Gleaning sedentary frugivores, gleaning nomadic frugivores, and gleaning nectarivores were present in almost all sites, most often in dense acuri palm forest. Frugivores were the most numerous at the individual level, followed by trawling insectivores and hematophagous. The similarities between groups ranged from low to moderate. Some subgroups identified in the analyzes showed high similarity, with strong congruences between sites. The areas used by cattle do not seem to restrict the use by some species of bats, especially those already proven to be associated with degraded areas. However, information is still lacking to predict which level of alteration is acceptable for the conservation of each guild and foraging strategy of bat species.
