Aerodynamics of hovering flight in the long-eared bat Plecotus auritus. (1/1577)

Steady-state aerodynamic and momentum theories were used for calculations of the lift and drag coefficients of Plecotus auritus in hovering flight. The lift coefficient obtained varies between 3-1 and 6-4, and the drag coefficient between --5-0 and 10-5, for the possible assumptions regarding the effective angles of attack during the upstroke. This demonstrates that hovering flight in Plecotus auritus can not be explained by quasi-steady-state aerodynamics. Thus, non-steady-state aerodynamics must prevail.  (+info)

Corticofugal amplification of facilitative auditory responses of subcortical combination-sensitive neurons in the mustached bat. (2/1577)

Recent studies on the bat's auditory system indicate that the corticofugal system mediates a highly focused positive feedback to physiologically "matched" subcortical neurons, and widespread lateral inhibition to physiologically "unmatched" subcortical neurons, to adjust and improve information processing. These findings have solved the controversy in physiological data, accumulated since 1962, of corticofugal effects on subcortical auditory neurons: inhibitory, excitatory, or both (an inhibitory effect is much more frequent than an excitatory effect). In the mustached bat, Pteronotus parnellii parnellii, the inferior colliculus, medial geniculate body, and auditory cortex each have "FM-FM" neurons, which are "combination-sensitive" and are tuned to specific time delays (echo delays) of echo FM components from the FM components of an emitted biosonar pulse. FM-FM neurons are more complex in response properties than cortical neurons which primarily respond to single tones. In the present study, we found that inactivation of the entire FM-FM area in the cortex, including neurons both physiologically matched and unmatched with subcortical FM-FM neurons, on the average reduced the facilitative responses to paired FM sounds by 82% for thalamic FM-FM neurons and by 66% for collicular FM-FM neurons. The corticofugal influence on the facilitative responses of subcortical combination-sensitive neurons is much larger than that on the excitatory responses of subcortical neurons primarily responding to single tones. Therefore we propose the hypothesis that, in general, the processing of complex sounds by combination-sensitive neurons more heavily depends on the corticofugal system than that by single-tone sensitive neurons.  (+info)

Co-expression of cytokeratins and vimentin by highly invasive trophoblast in the white-winged vampire bat, Diaemus youngi, and the black mastiff bat, Molossus ater, with observations on intermediate filament proteins in the decidua and intraplacental trophoblast. (3/1577)

Histological and immunocytochemical studies of gravid reproductive tracts obtained from the white-winged vampire bat (Diaemus youngi) and the black mastiff bat (Molossus ater) have established that both species develop unusually invasive trophoblast. This is released by the developing discoidal haemochorial placenta, expresses both cytokeratins and vimentin, and invades the myometrium and adjacent tissues (including the ovaries) via interstitial migration within the walls of maternal blood vessels. Hence, this trophoblast is noteworthy for the extent to which it undergoes an epithelial-mesenchymal transformation. In Molossus, it originates from the cytotrophoblastic shell running along the base of the placenta, is mononuclear, and preferentially invades maternal arterial vessels serving the discoidal placenta. This trophoblast may have a role in dilatation of these vessels when the discoidal placenta becomes functional. In Diaemus, the highly invasive trophoblast appears to originate instead from a layer of syncytiotrophoblast on the periphery of the placenta is multinucleated, and vigorously invades both arterial and venous vessels. During late pregnancy, it becomes extensively branched and sends attenuated processes around many of the myometrial smooth muscle fibres. In view of its distribution, this trophoblast could have important influences upon myometrial contractility and the function of blood vessels serving the gravid tract. Other aspects of intermediate filament expression in the uteri and placentae of these bats are also noteworthy. Many of the decidual giant cells in Molossus co-express cytokeratins and vimentin, while the syncytiotrophoblast lining the placental labyrinth in Diaemus late in pregnancy expresses little cytokeratin.  (+info)

Vectors of Chikungunya virus in Senegal: current data and transmission cycles. (4/1577)

Chikungunya fever is a viral disease transmitted to human beings by Aedes genus mosquitoes. From 1972 to 1986 in Kedougou, Senegal, 178 Chikungunya virus strains were isolated from gallery forest mosquitoes, with most of them isolated from Ae. furcifer-taylori (129 strains), Ae. luteocephalus (27 strains), and Ae. dalzieli (12 strains). The characteristics of the sylvatic transmission cycle are a circulation periodicity with silent intervals that last approximately three years. Few epidemics of this disease have been reported in Senegal. The most recent one occurred in 1996 in Kaffrine where two Chikungunya virus strains were isolated from Ae. aegypti. The retrospective analysis of viral isolates from mosquitoes, wild vertebrates, and humans allowed to us to characterize Chikungunya virus transmission cycles in Senegal and to compare them with those of yellow fever virus.  (+info)

Single cortical neurons serve both echolocation and passive sound localization. (6/1577)

The pallid bat uses passive listening at low frequencies to detect and locate terrestrial prey and reserves its high-frequency echolocation for general orientation. While hunting, this bat must attend to both streams of information. These streams are processed through two parallel, functionally specialized pathways that are segregated at the level of the inferior colliculus. This report describes functionally bimodal neurons in auditory cortex that receive converging input from these two pathways. Each brain stem pathway imposes its own suite of response properties on these cortical neurons. Consequently, the neurons are bimodally tuned to low and high frequencies, and respond selectively to both noise transients used in prey detection, and downward frequency modulation (FM) sweeps used in echolocation. A novel finding is that the monaural and binaural response properties of these neurons can change as a function of the sound presented. The majority of neurons appeared binaurally inhibited when presented with noise but monaural or binaurally facilitated when presented with the echolocation pulse. Consequently, their spatial sensitivity will change, depending on whether the bat is engaged in echolocation or passive listening. These results demonstrate that the response properties of single cortical neurons can change with behavioral context and suggest that they are capable of supporting more than one behavior.  (+info)

Comparative anatomy of the vomeronasal organ complex in bats. (7/1577)

The morphology of the vomeronasal organ complex was histologically described in eight out of fourteen chiropteran species investigated. Of the six families examined, all except the family Pteropodidae (suborder Megachiroptera) were found to have at least one member possessing the organ. The organ is best developed in phyllostomatids. It is absent in vespertilionids (including a Myotis embryo) except in Miniopterus. An accessory olfactory bulb is reported for the first time in the latter. The organ is described for the first time in Rhinopoma, Megaderma, and Hipposideros. The organ in Rhinolophus is also described. Homologous anterior nasal cartilages and patent nasopalatine ducts are present in all species. The organ occupies the anterior ventral nasal septum region. In Megaderma and Hipposideros it is level with the nasal cavity floor. Areas of epithelium similar to olfactory epithelium have been observed in some organs. Epithelia, vascular sinuses, vomeronasal nerves, paravomeronasal ganglia, accessory olfactory bulbs, and vomeronasal glands have been investigated. In bats with regressed or rudimentary organs (Megaderma, Rhinopoma, Rhinolophus, Hipposideros) accessory olfactory bulbs could not be identified. Thus, presence of the organ does not necessarily indicate presence of the accessory olfactory bulb. Septal pockets located superior to the organ complex and lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium are described in Hipposideros and may play a part in nasophonation. A unique role is proposed for the organ in the feeding behaviour of Desmodus. The desirability of extending the useful terms 'diosmatic' and 'monosmatic' to all vertebrates in reference to their respective possession or lack of the vomeronasal organ is suggested.  (+info)

On the homology of the alisphenoid. (8/1577)

The relationships of the elements of the cavum epiptericum in a hypothetical primitive mammalian precursor are reconstructed, and these are analysed in relation to the development of recent mammals, especially the fruit bat Nyctinomus johorensis. The alisphenoid in mammals is part cartilage bone, part membrane bone. The mammalian homologue of the primitive reptilian processus ascendens appears to be internal to the maxillary nerve. If so, then the 'lamina ascendens', that portion of the alisphenoid of mammals which lies between maxillary and mandibular nerves, cannot be a true processus ascendens but must be neomorphic. It is suggested that the mammalian lamina ascendens arose from an upgrowth of the root of the quadrate ramus of the epipterygoid in cynodonts, separating foramen rotundum from foramen ovale. In Ditremata the alisphenoid is completed by an element of membrane bone; this, it is suggested here, originated as the anterior lamina of the periotic in cynodonts, which is retained in monotremes. It is suggested that the alicochlear commissure of mammals originated as the later flange of the periotic in cynodonts.  (+info)

Antibiotic resistance mediated by bacterial production of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL) is a global threat to public health. ESBL resistance is most commonly hospital‐acquired; however, infections acquired outside of hospital settings have raised concerns over the role of livestock and wildlife in the zoonotic spread of ESBL‐producing bacteria. Only limited data are available on the circulation of ESBL‐producing bacteria in animals. Here, we report ESBL‐producing Escherichia coli in wild common vampire bats Desmodus rotundus and livestock near Lima, Peru. Molecular analyses revealed that most of this resistance resulted from the expression of blaCTX‐M‐15 genes carried by plasmids, which are disseminating worldwide in hospital settings and have also been observed in healthy children of Peru. Multilocus sequence typing showed a diverse pool of E. coli strains carrying this resistance that were not always host species‐specific, suggesting sharing of strains between ...

There has been growing interest in the study and conservation of bats throughout the world. Declines in their absolute numbers in recent decades are due, in part, to the fact that insectivorous bats may bioaccumulate toxic pollutants. The purpose of the present study was to quantify heavy metal concentrations in kidney, liver, and pectoral muscle samples in relation to metallothionein (MT) levels. In total, 106 bats belonging to 11 European species (i.e., Myotis myotis, Myotis daubentonii, Myotis brandtii, Myotis nattereri, Myotis emarginatus, Myotis mystacinus, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Pipistrellus nathusii, Pipistrellus pygmaeus, Nyctalus noctulla, Eptesicus serotinus) were used for the study. The highest MT levels were found in Pipistrellus pipistrellus. High MT levels were also found in juvenile bats and aquatic-insect-foraging species. Cadmium was found only in the liver and kidney of Myotis myotis, except for a solitary finding in Pipistrellus pipistrellus. Myotis myotis juveniles had ...

Abstract Hog cholera control efforts in Belize in 1975 included the slaughter of village pigs, a primary food source for the vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus). The bats then fed on secondary food sources, including humans. In 1 village, 22% of the families interviewed were exposed to attacks: 17 children and 2 adults were bit. Human depredation was not continuous as Desmodus located other hosts.

The Little Brown Bat Struggles to Survive - Mackinac State Historic Parks | Mackinac State Historic ParksThe Little Brown Bat Struggles to Survive - Mackinac State Historic Parks | Mackinac State Historic Parks
WNS is a disease caused by an invasive, cold-loving fungus that thrives in caves and mines where bats hibernate during the winter months. This white fungus grows on the nose, ears, wings and tails of hibernating bats. The bats are irritated by the fungus, so they frequently wake from hibernation and use up their winter fat reserves long before spring arrives. These starving bats often leave their caves in midwinter, only to starve or freeze to death. At some sites nearly all of the bats have died. It is estimated that the bat population in the northeastern U.S. has declined by 80% because of WNS.. Here at the Straits we have witnessed a dramatic decrease in the population of the Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus), which probably hibernate in some of the infected caves located in the eastern Upper Peninsula..

Microcystis aeruginosa is a type of cyanobacteria capable of producing a hepatotoxin called microcystin (MC). As toxic M. aeruginosa overwinters in the sediments of lakes, it is consumed by some mayfly larva, such as those of the Hexagenia spp., and thus MC bioaccumulates in these insects. Each summer, Hexagenia emerge from the lake to reproduce. While individual Hexagenia may only live for 48 hours, the emergence of these species can last for several weeks, providing a temporary food source for many terrestrial organisms such as birds and bats. Little brown bats, Myotis lucifugus, feed opportunistically on aquatic insects. To test if microcystin is moving from aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems via trophic transfer, we 1) tested the bat feces for the presence of Hexagenia mayflies; and 2) tested the bat livers and feces for microcystin. In June 2013, bat feces were collected from underneath a maternity roost near Little Traverse Lake (Leelanau County, MI). That same night, one male little brown bat was

Currently there is overwhelming evidence that bat communities are strongly affected by light pollution. To try to reduce such impacts, this summer we have been testing new eco-friendly streetlights on bat activity, particularly for the highly light sensitive greater horseshoe bat. For this, we created a phantom street in the environment erecting streetlights with either normal white LED streetlights on them or new red lights (a description of a similar project can be found here https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2017.0075). We are currently working our way through the data now and hope to have the results of this experiment very soon.. The more we learn about the impacts of anthropogenic pressures, such as lights or traffic noise, the more we can strategically plan to limit their impact on our landscape. For this, we are currently developing a predictive tool to investigate functional connectivity within the landscape for greater horseshoe bats. We hope that this tool will ...

Common vampire bat - WikipediaCommon vampire bat - Wikipedia
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most bats do not have rabies.[29] For example, even among bats submitted for rabies testing because they could be captured, were obviously weak or sick, or had been captured by a cat, only about 6% had rabies.[29] However, of the few cases of rabies reported in the United States every year, most are caused by bat bites.[29] The highest occurrence of rabies in vampire bats occurs in the large populations found in South America. The danger is not so much to the human population, but rather to livestock.[30] Dr. Joseph Lennox Pawan, a government bacteriologist in Trinidad, found the first infected vampire bat in March 1932.[31] He soon proved various species of bat, including the common vampire bat, are capable of transmitting rabies for an extended period of time without artificial infection or external symptoms.[31] Fruit bats of the genus Artibeus were later shown to demonstrate the same abilities. During this asymptomatic stage, the ...

But so far, biologists dont have a good answer why the bats are surviving. While they were persisting, it wasnt clear how they were coping with the disease, she said, adding that these reasons can provide clues to the long-term trajectories of these bat populations.. To uncover why the bats were persisting, Langwig and her colleagues compared the patterns of infection in little brown bats in New York to areas in Illinois and Virginia where the disease had more recently been detected and populations were declining.. As part of the study, Langwig and her team swabbed the bats skin and then conducted tests to detect the amount of the fungus they carry during winter hibernation. They used mathematical models to examine three major hypotheses for how bats were persisting with white-nose syndrome, including reduced transmission, tolerance, and resistance. The team found that bats in the New York populations seemed to reduce their fungal pathogen loads toward the end of their hibernation. However, ...

BACKGROUND - The Urban EcologistBACKGROUND - The Urban Ecologist
Thats not what I found. Instead, urban assemblages seem more dominated by one bat species - similar to the results of studies elsewhere, except that in Calgary, the urban denizen was the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), whereas in other North American cities, its the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus).. Now, when one species becomes more dominant in a city like this, urban ecologists may classify it as an urban exploiter. Urban exploiters tend to rely heavily on human resources and can benefit from urbanisation so much that their urban populations explode. But this doesnt seem true for little brown bats in Calgary. Yes, theyre more abundant, but their insect prey are not, and so urbanisation might lead to greater competition for food and, ultimately, reduced fitness. Of course, many other factors are at play, but clearly, little brown bats arent urban exploiters in the Prairies. ...

Blind as bats: Echolocation study reveals key evolutionary trade-offs with other senses - Scienmag: Latest Science and Health...Blind as bats: Echolocation study reveals key evolutionary trade-offs with other senses - Scienmag: Latest Science and Health...
Among the most fascinating evolutionary adaptations has been the development of echolocation in bats. But to develop their unique sonar system for exploring caves in the dark, what evolutionary tradeoffs occurred between their other senses like smell, vision and hearing, i.e. to be blind as a bat?. There are two kinds of bats, Old World fruit bats and echolocating bats. Old World fruit bats have no laryngeal echolocating ability, and navigate largely by vision with excellent eyesight, whereas echolocating bats rely solely on echolocation for navigation. Now, using whole genome sequencing technology, a research team led by Dong Dong et al. performed a new comparative study of two sophisticated echolocating bats - the great leaf-nosed bat (Hipposideros armiger) and Chinese rufous horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sinicus), named for their protuberances on their noses. When navigating, they are sensitive enough to distinguish their ultrasonic calls from the Doppler shifted echoes (think of the sound of a ...

Therya [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.1, pp.71-73. ISSN 2007-3364. https://doi.org/10.12933/therya-17-440.. Systematics and taxonomy of bats is based in part on the morphological characteristics of the teeth and dental formulas. However, sometimes dental abnormalities appear that involve changes in the shape and number of teeth which can lead to erroneous taxonomic identifications. Numerous cases of dental anomalies have been reported for all groups of mammals, especially bats, the group with the most dental anomalies reported. This note presents a rare case of bilateral hyperdontia in Carollia brevicauda, for which only cases of oligodontia had previously been registered. The dental anomaly was found in a male specimen of silky shorttailed bat from the middle basin Rio Guayuriba, Acacias, Meta, Colombia. The unusual individual shows an ...

The aerodynamics of big ears in the brown long-eared bat Plecotus auritus | Semantic ScholarThe aerodynamics of big ears in the brown long-eared bat Plecotus auritus | Semantic Scholar
Wings are the most obvious adaptation bats have for powered flight and differences in wing morphology are known to correlate with flight behaviour. However, the function(s) of ancillary structures such as the ears and tail, which may also play an important role during flight, are less well understood. Here we constructed a simplified model of a bat body with ears based upon morphological measurements of a brown long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus) to examine the aerodynamic implications of flying with large ears. The forces and moments produced by the model were measured using a sensitive 6-component force and torque balance during wind tunnel testing. The large ears of the model bat produced positive lift as well as positive drag of the same order of magnitude. At small ears angles (0° to 10°), increasing the angle of the ears resulted in an increase of the lift-to-drag ratio. At higher ear angles (| 10°) separation of the flow occurred which caused a large decrease in the lift-to-drag ratio produced.

Vampire Bats Can Donate Blood To Others Of Its Kind - Bug Busters USA, Inc.Vampire Bats Can Donate Blood To Others Of Its Kind - Bug Busters USA, Inc.
Vampire Bats Can Donate Blood To Others Of Its Kind. A recent study has shown that female vampire bats can share blood with their friends. Bats are amazingly altruistic creatures. Bats are known for being socially sophisticated mammals, but they are probably even more generous to those in need than you are. Vampire bats have a particularly bad reputation because people think that these bats would love to drink their blood. However, vampire bats dont consume human blood, and the blood they do take from other animal-hosts is in such small amounts that the animal hosts dont even realized that they are being robbed of their blood. Female vampire bats form a tight community. During the colder months, female vampire bats will keep other bats warm with their body heat. Female vampire bats will also help other females care for their young. But only recently have experts learned that they share blood.. If a female vampire bat should be hungry, and/or does not have enough food, then other female vampire ...

Between 1985 and 1987, fecal samples were collected from 71 bats representing 14 species (Desmodontidae, Molossidae, Noctilionidae, Phyllostomidae, Vespertilionidae) from 8 localities in 3 states (Beni, Pando, Santa Cruz) in Bolivia, South America. Of these, 2 black myotid bats (Vespertilionidae), Myotis nigricans, and 1 tent-making bat (Phyllostomidae), Uroderma magnirostrum, had oocysts in their feces that represent undescribed species of Eimeria. The new species from M. nigricans (2/4, 50%) has sporulated oocysts that are subspheroidal, 18.9 × 16.9 (17-23 × 14-20) μm, without a micropyle; oocyst residuum of 6-8 spheroidal globules and 1 highly refractile polar granule are present. The oocyst wall has 2 layers (~1.3 μm thick), with a rough outer layer. Ovoidal sporocysts are 10.1 × 7.4 (7-14 × 5-10) μm, with a Stieda body, substieda body, and a sporocyst residuum. The new eimerian species from U. magnirostrum (1/2, 50%) has sporulated oocysts that are subspheroidal to ellipsoidal, 23.8 × 20.8

Y1 - 2016/7/22. N2 - Background: Around 40 million years ago DNA transposons began accumulating in an ancestor of bats in the family Vespertilionidae. Since that time, Class II transposons have been continuously reinvading and accumulating in vespertilionid genomes at a rate that is unprecedented in mammals. Miniopterus (Miniopteridae), a genus of long-fingered bats that was recently elevated from Vespertilionidae, is the sister taxon to the vespertilionids and is often used as an outgroup when studying transposable elements in vesper bats. Previous wet-lab techniques failed to identify Helitrons, TcMariners, or hAT transposons in Miniopterus. Limitations of those methods and ambiguous results regarding the distribution of piggyBac transposons left some questions as to the distribution of Class II elements in this ...

Conflict can arise when bats roost in human dwellings and householders are affected adversely by their presence. In the United Kingdom, the exclusion of bats from roosts can be licensed under exceptional circumstances to alleviate conflict, but the fate of excluded bats and the impact on their survival and reproduction is not well understood. Using radio-tracking, we investigated the effects of exclusion on the soprano pipistrelle Pipistrellus pygmaeus, a species that commonly roosts in buildings in Europe. Exclusions were performed under licence at five roosts in England in spring, when females were in the early stages of pregnancy. Following exclusion, all bats found alternative roosts and colonies congregated in nearby known roosts that had been used by radio-tagged bats prior to exclusion. We found no difference in roosting behaviour before and after exclusion. Both the frequency of roost switching and the type of roosts used by bats remained unchanged. We also found no change in foraging behaviour.

Broken lines are at ±180 deg. and error bars extend one standard deviation above and below the mean. Time=0 is the time of peak impact force into the ceiling. C. brachyotis always made a four-point landing (A). Members of the other two species performed right-handed landings (B,F) or left-handed landings (C,G). Right-handed landings and left-handed landings were similar but with the yaw and roll angles changing in the opposite direction. Some C. perspicillata performed a variation of the right-handed (D) and left-handed (E) landings where yaw rotation was initiated later and thus made a smaller contribution to overall rotation than pitch did.

Comparative metabolomics of aging in a long-lived bat: Insights into the physiology of extreme longevityComparative metabolomics of aging in a long-lived bat: Insights into the physiology of extreme longevity
Vespertilionid bats (Mammalia: Order Chiroptera) live 3-10 times longer than other mammals of an equivalent body size. At present, nothing is known of how bat fecal metabolic profiles shift with age in any taxa. This study established the feasibility of using a non-invasive, fecal metabolomics approach to examine age-related differences in the fecal metabolome of young and elderly adult big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) as an initial investigation into using metabolomics for age determination. Samples were collected from captive, known-aged big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) from 1 to over 14 years of age: these two ages represent age groups separated by approximately 75% of the known natural lifespan of this taxon. Results showed 41 metabolites differentiated young (n = 22) and elderly (n = 6) Eptesicus. Significant differences in metabolites between young and elderly bats were associated with tryptophan metabolism and incomplete protein digestion. Results support further exploration of the

Viruses | Free Full-Text | Vampire Bat Rabies: Ecology, Epidemiology and ControlViruses | Free Full-Text | Vampire Bat Rabies: Ecology, Epidemiology and Control
Extensive surveillance in bat populations in response to recent emerging diseases has revealed that this group of mammals acts as a reservoir for a large range of viruses. However, the oldest known association between a zoonotic virus and a bat is that between rabies virus and the vampire bat. Vampire bats are only found in Latin America and their unique method of obtaining nutrition, blood-feeding or haematophagy, has only evolved in the New World. The adaptations that enable blood-feeding also make the vampire bat highly effective at transmitting rabies virus. Whether the virus was present in pre-Columbian America or was introduced is much disputed, however, the introduction of Old World livestock and associated landscape modification, which continues to the present day, has enabled vampire bat populations to increase. This in turn has provided the conditions for rabies re-emergence to threaten both livestock and human populations as vampire bats target large mammals. This review considers the ecology

Bats are nocturnal flying mammals that leave their roosts at dusk to feed and return to secluded dark places just before daylight. Most species are active during the warmer months and hibernate and/or migrate for the winter season. However, they do not fly in rainy or unseasonably cold weather.. Big brown bats: Female big brown bats form nursery colonies in the spring and are joined by males in late summer. They leave their roost at dusk in a slow, fluttering flight to find food. They feed close to the ground on various insects including beetles, ants, wasps, flies and mosquitoes.. Little brown bats: This species forms nursery colonies in early spring, then migrates south in autumn and hibernates in irregular clusters from September through April. They feed on insects, primarily flies and moths, and alternate their feeding with rest periods during which time they hang to digest their food.. Mexican free-tailed bat: This species migrates to Mexico for the winter, usually leaving in late October ...

Objective: We investigated the relationship between a body mass index and tooth conditions in the black flying-fox to provide guidance on management of edentulous flying-foxes by bat carers and veterinarians.. Methods: Flying-foxes brought into care through injury were weighed, their forearms measured and the state of their teeth evaluated. Measurements were subjected to Chi-square, ANOVA, t-tests and regressions to tease out any relationship between body mass index and condition of canines and molar teeth, as well as in relation to gender and season. Results: There is no statistically significant relationship between the state of a bats dentition and its body mass index.. Conclusions: The black flying fox (Pteropus alecto) in Townsville appears to experience a rapid decline in dental condition through time. Despite this, there is little indication that loss of teeth results in a decline in body mass index. We attribute the lack of effect of tooth loss on body condition to the dominance of ...

Miniopterus mahafaliensis - WikipediaMiniopterus mahafaliensis - Wikipedia
Miniopterus mahafaliensis is a bat in the genus Miniopterus that occurs in southwestern Madagascar. Populations of this species have historically been included in Miniopterus manavi, but molecular data published in 2008 and 2009 indicate that this supposed species in fact consists of five separate species, including the newly described M. mahafaliensis. The species has been found in dry, spiny, and gallery forest, as well as more open habitats, in southwestern Madagascar. Miniopterus mahafaliensis is a small, brown Miniopterus; its forearm length is 35 to 40 mm (1.4 to 1.6 in). The hairs of the underparts have gray tips. The tragus (a projection in the outer ear) is thick and blunt-tipped. The uropatagium (tail membrane) is well-furred and the palate is concave. During the 2000s, molecular studies have revealed that the widely distributed African, Eurasian, and Australian genus Miniopterus is much more species-rich than previously thought. In a 1995 contribution to Faune de Madagascar on ...

Massive amplification of rolling-circle transposons in the lineage of the bat Myotis lucifugus | PNASMassive amplification of rolling-circle transposons in the lineage of the bat Myotis lucifugus | PNAS
The mammalian TE landscape has been finely delineated for the genomes of human, mouse, rat, and dog (1, 6-8). Although these genomes are rich in varied types of TEs, no Helitrons have been identified. Furthermore, only retrotransposons are known to be recently active in these lineages, and there has been no evidence that any mammalian DNA transposons have been active within the last 50 million years (1, 6, 9). Our results provide evidence for the relatively recent amplification of Helitrons, an atypical class of DNA transposons, in a mammalian lineage.. Reiterative searches of all current National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases with the REP/Helicase domains of HeliBat1 (or Helentrons) revealed no evidence of Helitrons in any other placental or marsupial species. This result is surprising because complete or partial WGS are presently available for 36 species from 15 different mammalian orders (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/leuks.cgi).

Insectivorous bats are integral components of terrestrial ecosystems. Despite this, a growing number of factors causing world-wide declines in bat populations have been identified. Relatively abundant species are important for bat conservation because of their role in ecosystems and the research opportunities they offer. In addition, species that have been well-studied present unique opportunities to synthesize information and highlight important areas of focus for conservation and research. This paper focuses on a well-studied abundant bat, Eptesicus fuscus. I review the relevant literature on habitat use, diet and roost selection by E. fuscus in North America, and highlight important areas of conservation and research for this species, including the effects of roost disturbance, control of economically important insect pests, exposure to pesticides, long-term monitoring of populations, and the potential consequences of expanding populations. These issues have broad implications for other ...

Rabies from vampire bats kill more than 500 cattle a year in Peru - Outbreak News TodayRabies from vampire bats kill more than 500 cattle a year in Peru - Outbreak News Today
Rabies is among the most important zoonoses for human and animal health in Latin America. The common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) is the principle reservoir, and the main prevention methods are culling of bats and vaccination of humans and livestock. In Peru, recent geographic expansion of vampire bat rabies (VBR) has raised public health concerns, but the true incidence of VBR and the rate of under-reporting of cases is unknown.. In the new work, Julio Benavides, of the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and colleagues focused on a region in the southern Peruvian Andes where VBR remains poorly controlled. They studied questionnaires on livestock health and VBR knowledge completed by farmers in 40 communities, as well as passive national surveillance data on 11 years of VBR outbreaks.. Their models calculated that there are 4.6 VBR cases per reported case, leading to between 505 and 724 cattle deaths in 2014 in the study area and costing US$121,797- US$171,992. Together, animal mortality costs ...

My main focus during the PhD is to investigate the echolocation behavior of the frugivorous bat Carollia perspicillata and to find out how natural echolocation sequences are processed in different brain regions. Recording the behavioral output of the animals during echolocation allows us to use natural and behaviorally relevant echolocation signals as acoustic stimuli during our electrophysiological recordings. Personally, the neuroethological investigation of orientation and navigation with multidisciplinary approaches fascinates me. Especially, the high diversity of different orientation behaviors in different animal species makes the research field highly attractive and exciting.. ...

Fifty-two bats captured during July 2008 in the Philippines were tested by reverse transcription-PCR to detect bat coronavirus (CoV) RNA. The overall prevalence of virus RNA was 55.8%. We found 2 groups of sequences that belonged to group 1 (genus Alphacoronavirus) and group 2 (genus Betacoronavirus) CoVs. Phylogenetic analysis of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene showed that groups 1 and 2 CoVs were similar to Bat-CoV/China/A515/2005 (95% nt sequence identity) and Bat-CoV/HKU9-1/China/2007 (83% identity), respectively. To propagate group 2 CoVs obtained from a lesser dog-faced fruit bat (Cynopterus brachyotis), we administered intestine samples orally to Leschenault rousette bats (Rousettus leschenaulti) maintained in our laboratory. After virus replication in the bats was confirmed, an additional passage of the virus was made in Leschenault rousette bats, and bat pathogenesis was investigated. Fruit bats infected with virus did not show clinical signs of infection.

The genome sizes of megabats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) are remarkably constrained | Biology LettersThe genome sizes of megabats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) are remarkably constrained | Biology Letters
The results of this study raise three important questions: (i) why are all bat genome sizes small relative to other mammals, (ii) why are megabat genome sizes smaller than those of microbats, and (iii) why do species of megabats differ (albeit modestly) in genome size from one another as they do?. An answer to the first question is coming into clearer focus, thanks to recent studies of all three groups of vertebrates that independently evolved powered flight. Overall, the patterns now documented in pterosaurs, birds and both major bat groups support the notion that some factor(s)-most probably including high metabolic rate-has imposed a limit on genome size in each lineage (Organ & Shedlock 2008; Andrews et al. 2009). It has recently been hypothesized that genome sizes began shrinking prior to the evolution of flight in all three groups (Organ & Shedlock 2008), which seems plausible. However, this may be difficult to test in bats (cf. dinosaurs/birds and pterosaurs; Organ et al. 2007; Organ & ...

Fungus Causing White-Nose Syndrome in Bats Continues to Spread in Texas | Texas A&M NRIFungus Causing White-Nose Syndrome in Bats Continues to Spread in Texas | Texas A&M NRI
TPWD - The fungus that causes white-nose syndrome (WNS) in bats has continued to spread into parts of Central, South, and East Texas, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.. The fungus was detected for the first time in Texas in early 2017 in six Panhandle counties. This year it was detected at 22 sites in 16 counties, 11 of which were new. There are now 21 counties in Texas where the fungus has been detected in Texas. It was found on 43 cave myotis, 4 tri-colored bats, and 13 Mexican free-tailed bats. No signs of WNS, the disease in bats caused by the fungus, were reported. Biologists say it usually takes a few years after detecting the fungus for the disease to manifest.. A detection in Liberty County is the first yet in East Texas. Detections in Frio and Victoria Counties are now the most southerly detections of the fungus in the country.. The amount the fungus has spread this year is concerning said Jonah Evans, TPWD mammologist. On the bright side, we have yet to observe ...

White-nose syndrome fungus (Geomyces destructans) in bats, EuropeWhite-nose syndrome fungus (Geomyces destructans) in bats, Europe
White-nose syndrome is an emerging disease in North America that has caused substantial declines in hibernating bats. A recently identified fungus (Geomyces destructans) causes skin lesions that are characteristic of this disease. Typical signs of this infection were not observed in bats in North America before white-nose syndrome was detected. However, unconfirmed reports from Europe indicated white fungal growth on hibernating bats without associated deaths. To investigate these differences, hibernating bats were sampled in Germany, Switzerland, and Hungary to determine whether G. destructans is present in Europe. Microscopic observations, fungal culture, and genetic analyses of 43 samples from 23 bats indicated that 21 bats of 5 species in 3 countries were colonized by G. destructans. We hypothesize that G. destructans is present throughout Europe and that bats in Europe may be more immunologically or behaviorally resistant to G. destructans than their congeners in North America because they

Several bat species are known to migrate long distances between summer and winter roosts. During migration, many bats even cross the North Sea. The developments of offshore wind farms in the North Sea could therefore pose a collision risk for migrating bats. While bats have been observed inside offshore wind farms, their activity at turbine rotor height yet remains unknown. We therefore installed acoustic bat detectors at wind turbines in the Belgian part of the North Sea. Seven detectors were installed on the service platform of the transition piece (16 m above mean sea level) and four were installed on the nacelle of the turbines, in the centre of the rotor swept area (93 m above mean sea level). A total of 151 recordings of call sequences of Pipistrellus nathusii (Nathusius pipistrelle) were made during 20 nights over an entire autumn migration season (8 August - 30 November 2017). 45 recordings contained more than 10 calls. These were further investigated for behavioural clues. We identified 32

An Aerial-Hawking Bat Uses Stealth Echolocation to Counter Moth Hearing | BioAcoustica: Wildlife Sounds DatabaseAn Aerial-Hawking Bat Uses Stealth Echolocation to Counter Moth Hearing | BioAcoustica: Wildlife Sounds Database
Ears evolved in many nocturnal insects, including some moths, to detect bat echolocation calls and evade capture [1, 2]. Although there is evidence that some bats emit echolocation calls that are inconspicuous to eared moths, it is difficult to determine whether this was an adaptation to moth hearing or originally evolved for a different purpose [2, 3]. Aerial-hawking bats generally emit high-amplitude echolocation calls to maximize detection range [4, 5]. Here we present the first example of an echolocation counterstrategy to overcome prey hearing at the cost of reduced detection distance. We combined comparative bat flight-path tracking and moth neurophysiology with fecal DNA analysis to show that the barbastelle, Barbastella barbastellus, emits calls that are 10 to 100 times lower in amplitude than those of other aerial-hawking bats, remains undetected by moths until close, and captures mainly eared moths. Model calculations demonstrate that only bats emitting such low-amplitude calls hear ...

We found antibodies against LBV in healthy E. helvum bats in Ghana. Previous studies have suggested that healthy bats develop antibodies to other lyssavirus infections (7,10,11), which may reflect past exposure, rather than survival from clinical disease. LBV likely co-evolved with its natural megachiropteran host until a genetic stasis had been reached in which the virus-host relationship was in equilibrium. This situation would result in high seroprevalence rates after a wave of virus circulation in a colony. Nine seropositive bats (8 E. helvum, 1 E. buettikoferi) were apparently healthy pregnant females. These results support theories that lyssaviruses are endemic within specific bat populations, that they may not cause high mortality rates, that exposure rates of LBV between megachiroptera in Old World African bats are high, and that bats may breed successfully after LBV exposure (7,8). The number of high reciprocal titers against LBV (Figure 1) and the history of LBV isolation in E. helvum ...

The reference ranges for spectacled flying foxes are temporally comparable to black flying fox population and sex cohort analyte values (McMichael et al. 2015, 2016). Higher protein, albumin, and glucose values of spectacled flying foxes likely reflect a higher quality and quantity of food resources in a tropical rain forest habitat, whereas higher triglycerides may be consistent with black flying fox winter depletion of fatty acid reserves with putative thermoregulation demands of subtropical southeastern Queensland winters (McMichael et al. 2017). Intraerythrocytic protozoal parasites, subsequently characterised as Hepatocystis sp. (Schaer et al. 2018), were present in 56% (28 of 50) of spectacled flying foxes compared to only 4% (16 of 385) of black flying foxes, likely reflecting differing climatic conditions conducive to vector presence and transmission. For spectacled flying foxes, the higher eosinophil and platelet counts, higher aspartate transferase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT), and ...

Bat Death Toll From White-nose Syndrome Keeps Climbing - RedorbitBat Death Toll From White-nose Syndrome Keeps Climbing - Redorbit
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said on Tuesday that the death toll for bats in North America that have suffered from White-nose Syndrome has exceeded 5.5 million.. Biologists and partners of the service estimated that at least 5.7 million to 6.7 million bats have died from white-nose syndrome (WNS).. The syndrome was first documented in New York in 2006, and the disease quickly spread into 16 states and four Canadian provinces.. Bats with WNS have symptoms like flying around outside during the day, and clustering near the entrances of caves and mines.. The mortality rate of those bats suffering from WNS can reach up to 100 percent in some areas.. This startling new information illustrates the severity of the threat that white-nose syndrome poses for bats, as well as the scope of the problem facing our nation, Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said in a press release. Bats provide tremendous value to the U.S. economy as natural pest control for American farms and forests every ...

For the purpose of orientation, echolocating bats emit highly repetitive and spatially directed sonar calls. Echoes arising from call reflections are used to create an acoustic image of the environment. The inferior colliculus (IC) represents an important auditory stage for initial processing of echolocation signals. The present study addresses the following questions: i) How does the temporal context of an echolocation sequence mimicking an approach flight of an animal affect neuronal processing of distance information to echo delays? ii) How does the IC process complex echolocation sequences containing echo information from multiple objects (multi-object sequence)? Here we conducted neurophysiological recordings from the IC of ketamine-anaesthetized bats of the species Carollia perspicillata and compared the results from the IC with the ones from the auditory cortex. Neuronal responses to an echolocation sequence was suppressed when compared to the responses to temporally isolated and ...

Flying Fox - AWPC - Australian Wildlife Protection CouncilFlying Fox - AWPC - Australian Wildlife Protection Council
Flying foxes belong to chiroptera (hand-wing) or bats. Unlike small insect-eating microbats flying foxes do not have echolocation and use their eyes and ears like all other mammals. There are four species of native flying foxes on the Australian mainland. Little Red, Black, Grey-headed and Spectacled. Flying foxes are a keystone species. Their diet is nectar, pollen and fruit obtained at night when native tree flowers produce most of their nectar. Their ecological role is that of pollination and seed dispersal.. By flying long distances from their camps each evening (30-40 kilometres) and between camps (100s of kilometres) the bats carry seed and pollen(genetic material) to other forests and trees. The out-cross pollination is valuable to our forests and ecosystems ensuring a healthy flow of new genes.. All flying foxes species have declined since European settlement. The Spectacled flying foxes (Range - Nth QLD) and Grey-headed flying foxes (range: east coast from northern NSW to Geelong) ...

According to the predictions made by Lindhe-Norberg and Winter (Lindhe-Norberg and Winter, 2006), G. soricina should fly at a theoretical minimum power speed Ump≈6 m s−1, with a wingbeat frequency of 9.5-10.3 Hz, depending on the body mass. To allow comparison of wingbeat frequency at a calculated Ump with the results of Lindhe-Norberg and Winter (Lindhe-Norberg and Winter, 2006), we used Pennycuicks program [Flight 1.22 (Pennycuick, 1989)]. The program predicts that our bats should fly at 9.65 Hz at Ump=6.40 (bat 2) and 10.8 Hz at Ump=7.10 (bat 1). Both our bats were in the same range of body mass as the bats used by Lindhe-Norberg and Winter (Lindhe-Norberg and Winter, 2006), but were flying with a wingbeat frequency of 13.4-14.3 Hz at the high flight speeds (6.5-7.0 m s−1). There was a small difference between the bats as the slightly heavier bat 2 was operating at a somewhat higher wingbeat frequency. Our bats operated at higher wingbeat frequencies at all flight speeds than those ...

Posted Thursday, March 29, 2012. Another winter has come and gone and the negative impact of white-nose syndrome (WNS) on Virginia bat populations continues. While few surveys of hibernating bats were conducted this past year in order to minimize disturbance to already declining bat populations, new evidence of the spread of WNS was documented. Scott County was added to our list of WNS confirmed counties and additional WNS positive caves were added to counties already known to house the deadly disease. It now appears that Lee County is the only county in the mountain region of the state where WNS has not been documented. Because the WNS fungal spores are typically not present during the warm seasons Virginia has few records of bats with WNS symptoms outside the mountain region. Of the eight species of bats that hibernate in Virginia, only the Virginia big-eared bat has not been confirmed to contract the WNS disease.. Other research in Virginia designed to understand the spread of WNS has ...

US government takes on white-nose syndrome in bats : News blogUS government takes on white-nose syndrome in bats : News blog
To tackle the scourge of white-nose syndrome, which has killed more than a million bats in the northeastern United States, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has proposed a national framework of investigation and response to the outbreak. It is seeking comment on the plan from the public beginning 28 October.. Government officials have been working to manage the disease, which affects bats during their hibernation in the winter months, for at least two years, though mostly under different agencies, says Jeremy Coleman, a FWS biologist coordinating the governments white-nose syndrome response.. The plan brings together all the things weve been doing informally and allows state, federal, and tribal agencies to work together, he says.. The framework, which will be finalized by the end of the year, creates working groups to address various elements of response, including surveillance and monitoring, database construction, decontamination, and communication management between various ...

Seasonal reliance on plant-based resources is very uncommon in temperate insectivorous bats. The pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) is an exception and in the Sonoran Desert switches from an arthropod-based diet to one that includes cactus nectar during spring when columnar cacti bloom. Such cactophily is a common strategy among nectar-feeding phyllostomid bats, including migratory Leptonycteris species that consume nectar and fruit from columnar cacti. Spring nectarivory by A. pallidus begs the question of whether they also consume cactus fruit during the summer, despite lacking morphological and physiological adaptations for frugivory. We recorded foraging behavior of bats at 134 fruits of the cardón cactus (Pachycereus pringlei) in Baja California Sur, Mexico, and used stable isotope analysis to quantify incorporation of fruit into the summer diet of A. pallidus. We found that A. pallidus visited cardón fruits just as frequently as the lesser long-nosed bat, Leptonycteris yerbabuenae(51.0% and ...

The Senegalese specimens of Pipistrellus rueppellii can be confidently assigned to P. r. senegalensis, which is distributed from Algeria to Senegal (type locality Richard-Toll in Senegal [2, 32]). They were large (forearm length = 33.3, 35.8 mm) relative to other non West African races [48] and were genetically similar to Moroccan samples (nd1; [37]). However, contrary to previous results from Morocco [37] and Sardinia [49], the Senegalese P. rueppellii formed a well-supported long branch that was basal in the Pipistrellus/Nyctalus clade. We, therefore, re-analysed the complete published nd1 data of Mayer et al. [37] with ML and BA and again recovered the basal position of P. rueppellii, confirming the differences between studies were due the different analytical approaches used (PP = 1, BS = 74; Additional file 6). The simple algorithm based methods such as neighbour joining used by Mayer et al. [37] may be biased by long-branch attraction [50]. Bayesian inference of phylogeny is especially ...

Studies of Arthropod-Borne Virus Infections in Chiroptera | The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and HygieneStudies of Arthropod-Borne Virus Infections in Chiroptera | The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
Summary The influence of lowered body temperature and depressed metabolic rate of the cold-exposed bat on experimental arbovirus infection has been studied using three species of insectivorous bats, Tadarida b. mexicana, Myotis l. lucifugus, and Eptesicus f. fuscus. One strain of St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) virus and two strains of Japanese B encephalitis (JBE) virus were employed. Although the effects of low temperature on experimental arbovirus infection in bats varied with the bat species used and the relationship between inoculation of virus and the initiation of cold-exposure, the results obtained indicated that these animals would be ideal hosts for overwintering of arboviruses in nature. Generally, infection in bats was suppressed by low temperature but sustained by the animals for several months as evidenced by (1) the demonstration of low levels of virus in the blood and brown adipose tissue of the hibernating bat, and (2) the activation of viral multiplication upon transfer to 24°C producing

Illinois Natural History Survey BatsIllinois Natural History Survey Bats
Approximately one-third of bat species eat fruit or nectar, serving as pollinators and seed dispersers in the process. The largest species of bat, the Malaysian flying fox, is a fruit eater, using its strong senses of sight and smell to locate food. These bats have a wingspan of over five feet.. The smallest bat species in the world is the bumblebee bat, with a body length of one inch and a wingspan of only six inches. The bumblebee bat and two-thirds of all bat species are insectivores, finding prey by echolocation -emitting sound waves and sensing their reflection. Bats have voracious appetites, with individuals capable of eating 1,000 small insects per hour. All 13 species of bat found in Illinois are insectivores and consume large numbers of insects whose larvae destroy farm crops, including cutworms, rootworms, and leafhoppers.. There are only three species of vampire bats, all living in Latin and South America. Unlike most bats, vampire bats are capable of walking or running, allowing ...

PLOS ONE: Genetic Diversity of Neotropical Myotis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) with an Emphasis on South American SpeciesPLOS ONE: Genetic Diversity of Neotropical Myotis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) with an Emphasis on South American Species
Background Cryptic morphological variation in the Chiropteran genus Myotis limits the understanding of species boundaries and species richness within the genus. Several authors have suggested that it is likely there are unrecognized species-level lineages of Myotis in the Neotropics. This study provides an assessment of the diversity in New World Myotis by analyzing cytochrome-b gene variation from an expansive sample ranging throughout North, Central, and South America. We provide baseline genetic data for researchers investigating phylogeographic and phylogenetic patterns of Myotis in these regions, with an emphasis on South America. Methodology and Principal Findings Cytochrome-b sequences were generated and phylogenetically analyzed from 215 specimens, providing DNA sequence data for the most species of New World Myotis to date. Based on genetic data in our sample, and on comparisons with available DNA sequence data from GenBank, we estimate the number of species-level genetic lineages in South

Phylogenetic Reconstruction by Cross-Species Chromosome Painting and G-Banding in Four Species of Phyllostomini Tribe ...Phylogenetic Reconstruction by Cross-Species Chromosome Painting and G-Banding in Four Species of Phyllostomini Tribe ...
The subfamily Phyllostominae comprises taxa with a variety of feeding strategies. From the cytogenetic point of view, Phyllostominae shows different rates of chromosomal evolution between genera, with Phyllostomus hastatus probably retaining the ancestral karyotype for the subfamily. Since chromosomal rearrangements occur rarely in the genome and have great value as phylogenetic markers and in taxonomic characterization, we analyzed three species: Lophostoma silvicola (LSI), Phyllostomus discolor (PDI) and Tonatia saurophila (TSA), representing the tribe Phyllostomini, collected in the Amazon region, by classic and molecular cytogenetic techniques in order to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships within this tribe. LSA has a karyotype of 2n=34 and FN=60, PDI has 2n=32 and FN=60 and TSA has 2n=16 and FN=20. Comparative analysis using G-banding and chromosome painting show that the karyotypic complement of TSA is highly rearranged relative to LSI and PHA, while LSI, PHA and PDI have similar

Flight3
  • The Chiroptera is one of only four groups of organisms that have achieved true flight (the others being the extinct Pterosaurs, the birds, and the insects). (utep.edu)
  • Thus, in direct contrast to all other mammals, in which locomotion is chiefly effected by action from behind, and the hind-limbs consequently greatly preponderate in size over the fore, in the Chiroptera the fore-limbs, being the agents in propelling the body forward during flight, immensely exceed the short and weak hinder extremities. (wikisource.org)
  • Although other factors such as hibernation and reproductive rate have been shown to play a role in bat longevity ( 22 ), these factors are accordant with evolutionary theory of aging, and it is clear that the exceptional longevity of Chiroptera as a whole is the result of flight. (pnas.org)
