    Neoichnology of Bats: Morphological, Ecological, and Phylogenetic Influences on Terrestrial Behavior and Trackmaking Ability Within the Chiroptera

    NEOICHNOLOGY OF BATS: MORPHOLOGICAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND PHYLOGENETIC INFLUENCES ON TERRESTRIAL BEHAVIOR AND TRACKMAKING ABILITY WITHIN THE CHIROPTERA BY MATTHEW FRAZER JONES Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Advisory Committee: ______________________________ Chairperson Stephen T. Hasiotis ______________________________ Co-chair David A. Burnham ______________________________ Robert M. Timm Date Defended: April 8, 2016 The Thesis Committee for MATTHEW FRAZER JONES certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: NEOICHNOLOGY OF BATS: MORPHOLOGICAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND PHYLOGENETIC INFLUENCES ON TERRESTRIAL BEHAVIOR AND TRACKMAKING ABILITY WITHIN THE CHIROPTERA ______________________________ Chairperson: Stephen T. Hasiotis ______________________________ Co-chairperson: David A. Burnham Date Approved: April 8, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Among living mammals, bats (Chiroptera) are second only to rodents in total number of species with over 1100 currently known. Extant bat species occupy many trophic niches and feeding habits, including frugivores (fruit eaters), insectivores (insect eaters), nectarivores (nectar and pollen-eaters), carnivores (predators of small terrestrial vertebrates), piscivores (fish eaters), sanguinivores (blood eaters), and omnivores (eat animals and plant material). Modern bats also demonstrate a wide range of terrestrial abilities while feeding, including: (1) those that primarily feed at or near ground level, such as the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) and the New Zealand short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata); (2) those rarely observed to feed from or otherwise spend time on the ground; and (3) many intermediate forms that demonstrate terrestrial competency without an obvious ecological basis. The variation in chiropteran terrestrial ability has been hypothesized to be constrained by the morphology of the pelvis and hindlimbs into what are termed types 1, 2, and 3 bats.
  • G- and C-Banding Chromosomal Studies of Bats of the Family Emballonuridae

    G- and C-Banding Chromosomal Studies of Bats of the Family Emballonuridae

    G- AND C-BANDING CHROMOSOMAL STUDIES OF BATS OF THE FAMILY EMBALLONURIDAE CRAIG S. HOOD AND ROBERT J. BAKER Department of Biological Sciences and The Museum, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409 Present address of CSH: Department of Biological Sciences, Loyola University, New Orleans, LA 70118 ABSTRACT.—Extent and nature of chromosomal change among nine species representing six genera (Saccopteryx, Rhynchonycteris, Diclidurus, Balantiopteryx, Cormura, and Taphozous) were examined using data from G- and C-banded chromosomes. Heterochromatin was restricted to centromeric regions in most taxa; extensive additions of C-positive material occurred in Bal- antiopteryx and Cormura. Comparisons of G-bands of euchromatic arms revealed considerable variation in G-band pattern and imply extensive chromosomal evolution among emballonurid species. Outgroup comparisons of G-band karyotypes proposed as primitive for several families of bats failed to reveal conserved G-band patterns, thus limiting the usefulness of differentially stained chromosomal data for resolving phylogenetic relationships of the Emballonuridae. The karyotype of Cormura brevirostris includes an extraordinarily large X chromosome that is mostly euchromatic. Evolution of the X chromosome and the nature of the sex-determining system in Cormura are unclear, but the species appears to possess a unique sex chromosome mechanism. The bat family Emballonuridae contains 13 genera and about 50 species and has a broad, pantropical distribution (Corbet and Hill, 1980; Hill and Smith, 1983). From both a systematic and cytogenetic standpoint these bats represent one of the least understood chiropteran families. With the exception of a G-band figure presented in Baker et al. (1982) for Saccopteryx canes- cens, published chromosomal data are limited to nondifferentially-stained karyotypes for 13 species representing 9 genera (Baker et al., 1982, and references therein; Harada et al., 1982; Ray-Chaudhuri et al., 1971).

Acknowledgements We thank the following individuals for their contribution to this work: Marcos Gorresen, Adam Miles, Jorge Palmeirim, Dave Waldien, Dick Watling, and Gary Wiles. ii Executive Summary This Species Report uses the best available scientific and commercial information to assess the status of the semicaudata subspecies of the Pacific sheath-tailed bat, Emballonura semicaudata semicaudata. This subspecies is found in southern Polynesia, eastern Melanesia, and Micronesia. Three additional subspecies of E. semicaudata (E.s. rotensis, E.s. palauensis, and E.s. sulcata) are not discussed here unless they are used to support assumptions about E.s. semicaudata, or to fill in data gaps in this analysis. The Pacific sheath-tailed bat is an Old-World bat in the family Emballonuridae, and is found in parts of Polynesia, eastern Melanesia, and Micronesia. It is the only insectivorous bat recorded from much of this area.

    Inf.EUROBATS.MoP7.45 7th Meeting of the Parties Brussels, Belgium, 15 – 17 September 2014 Report on Autecological Studies for Priority Species Convenor: Stéphane Aulagnier In accordance with Resolution 4.12, the current work being carried out on autecological studies of the Priority List of species (Rhinolophus euryale, Myotis capaccinii and Miniopterus schreibersii) should be updated by the Advisory Committee and should be made public. References of papers and reports dealing with autecological studies Rhinolophus euryale Barataud M., Jemin J., Grugier Y. & Mazaud S., 2009. Étude sur les territoires de chasse du Rhinolophe euryale, Rhinolophus euryale, en Corrèze, site Natura 2000 des Abîmes de la Fage. Le Naturaliste. Vendéen, 9 : 43-55. The cave of la Fage (Noailles, Département of Corrèze) is a major site for the Mediterranean horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus euryale Blasius 1853. However, contrary to the tendency to increase noted over the last 20 years in various other birth sites in France, numbers at la Fage have shown no change. One of the suspected causes links this to the presence of the A20 motorway, less than a kilometre away, where corpses have been collected. This article presents the results of a radio-tracking study of the space occupied by the colony, during the summers of 2006 and 2007. Voigt C.C., Schuller B.M., Greif S. & Siemers B.M., 2010. Perch-hunting in insectivorous Rhinolophus bats is related to the high energy costs of manoeuvring in flight. Journal of Comparative Physiology Biochemical Systemic and Environmental Physiology, 180(7): 1079-1088 Foraging behaviour of bats is supposedly largely influenced by the high costs of flapping flight.

This is the second species in the genus described from bats in the New World, since most of the rictaluriids reported in these hosts belong to the closely related genus Rictularia Froelich, 1802.
