  • Chromosomal Evolution and Phylogeny in the Nullicauda Group
    Gomes et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2018) 18:62 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1176-3 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Chromosomal evolution and phylogeny in the Nullicauda group (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae): evidence from multidirectional chromosome painting Anderson José Baia Gomes1,3, Cleusa Yoshiko Nagamachi1,4, Luis Reginaldo Ribeiro Rodrigues2, Malcolm Andrew Ferguson-Smith5, Fengtang Yang6, Patricia Caroline Mary O’Brien5 and Julio Cesar Pieczarka1,4* Abstract Background: The family Phyllostomidae (Chiroptera) shows wide morphological, molecular and cytogenetic variation; many disagreements regarding its phylogeny and taxonomy remains to be resolved. In this study, we use chromosome painting with whole chromosome probes from the Phyllostomidae Phyllostomus hastatus and Carollia brevicauda to determine the rearrangements among several genera of the Nullicauda group (subfamilies Gliphonycterinae, Carolliinae, Rhinophyllinae and Stenodermatinae). Results: These data, when compared with previously published chromosome homology maps, allow the construction of a phylogeny comparable to those previously obtained by morphological and molecular analysis. Our phylogeny is largely in agreement with that proposed with molecular data, both on relationships between the subfamilies and among genera; it confirms, for instance, that Carollia and Rhinophylla, previously considered as part of the same subfamily are, in fact, distant genera. Conclusions: The occurrence of the karyotype considered ancestral for this family in several different branches

Objective: To describe T. cruzi infection in bats from the states of Campeche and Yucatán, México. Materials and methods: Captures were made from March to November, 2017, at three sites in Yucatán and one in Campeche. Up to four mist nets on two consecutive nights were used for the capture. The bats’ species were identified and euthanasia was performed to collect kidney and heart samples for total DNA extraction. Trypanosoma cruzi infection was detected by conventional PCR with the amplification of a fragment belonging to theT . cruzi DNA nuclear. Results: Eighty-six bats belonging to five families (Vespertilionidae, Noctilionidae, Mormoopidae, Phyllostomidae, and Molossidae) and 13 species (Rhogeessa aeneus, Received: 07/04/2020 Noctilio leporinus, Pteronotus davyi, P.

  • Placental Haemophagous Organs in the Procyonidae and Mustelidae
    PLACENTAL HAEMOPHAGOUS ORGANS IN THE PROCYONIDAE AND MUSTELIDAE R. F. S. CREED and J. D. BIGGERS Royal Veterinary College, London, N.W. 1, and the King Ranch Laboratory oj Reproductive Physiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, U.S.A. {Received 9th January 1964) Summary. A description is given of some of the gross anatomical characteristics of the placenta of representatives of five carnivore species of the families Procyonidae and Mustelidae. Emphasis is laid on the occurrence of well-defined haemophagocytic structures in these placen- tae, which have not, hitherto, been investigated. INTRODUCTION Recently, the name haemophagous organ was proposed for a particular structure found in the raccoon {Procyon lotor lotor L.) placenta (Biggers & Creed, 1962). This highly vascular sac-like structure, which hangs into the allantoic cavity, is of macroscopic dimensions and emerges from a central antimesometrial region of the placental annulus in this procyonid carnivore (Pi. 1, Fig. 1). It increases in size and complexity until about two-thirds to three-quarters of the gestation period has elapsed, after which it regresses. Morphologically it is quite distinct from the rest of the placenta which is labyrinthine, and histo¬ logical examination shows it to be made up of a series of branching and anasto¬ mosing lamellae which consist of a thin core of foetal mesenchyme, containing foetal capillaries, lined on either side by tall foetal columnar epithelial cells. Interlamellar spaces are filled with maternal blood which gains access from the maternal side at the base of the haemophagous organ, and bathes the foetal columnar epithelium. The cells of this epithelium bear every indication of being phagocytic and appear to be concerned essentially with the ingestion of maternal blood corpuscles (Biggers & Creed, 1962; Creed & Biggers, 1963a, b).

  • Food Choice in Frugivorous Bats
    Food Choice in Frugivorous Bats Lauren Riegler Department of Biology, Trinity University ABSTRACT Frugivorous bats are important dispersers for many tropical plants and their conservation depends on furthering knowledge in their foraging behaviors and food preferences (Brosset et al. 1996). This study investigated a possible fruit preference of five frugivorous bat species (Carollia brevicauda, Artibeus lituratus, Artibeus jamaicensis, Artibeus toltecus and Platyrrhinus vittatus) found in Monteverde, Costa Rica among three wild fruit species (Solanum umbellatum, Solanum aphyodendron and Ficus pertusa) and two cultivated fruit species (Musa accuminata and Carica papaya). Fruits were presented to the bats in the Bat Jungle of Monteverde, where the foraging of bats can be closely observed. Artibeus toltecus showed a slight trend of preference for Solanum umbellatum over Solanum aphyodendron. However, due to small sample size and pseudoreplication there was no significant preference for any of the fruits by any of the bat species. RESUMEN Los murciélagos frugívoros son dispersores importantes de muchas plantas tropicales y su conservación depende del incremento de nuestro conocimiento de su comportamiento de forrajeo y preferencias dietéticas (Brosset et al. 1996). Este estudio investigó la posible predilección de cinco murciélagos frugívoros (Carollia brevicauda, Artibeus lituratus, Artibeus jamaicensis, Artibeus toltecus y Platyrrhinus vittatus) por tres especies silvestres de frutas Solanum umbellatum, Solanum aphyodendron y Ficus pertusa) y dos especies de frutas cultivadas (Musa accuminata y Carica papaya) en Monteverde, Costa Rica. Las frutas fueron presentadas a los murciélagos en la Jungla de Murciélagos de Monteverde, donde fue posible observar detenidamente el compartimiento de los murciélagos. Artibeus toltecus mostró una tendencia leve de preferencia por Solanum umbellatum.
