  • Carnivora from the Late Miocene Love Bone Bed of Florida
    Bull. Fla. Mus. Nat. Hist. (2005) 45(4): 413-434 413 CARNIVORA FROM THE LATE MIOCENE LOVE BONE BED OF FLORIDA Jon A. Baskin1 Eleven genera and twelve species of Carnivora are known from the late Miocene Love Bone Bed Local Fauna, Alachua County, Florida. Taxa from there described in detail for the first time include the canid cf. Urocyon sp., the hemicyonine ursid cf. Plithocyon sp., and the mustelids Leptarctus webbi n. sp., Hoplictis sp., and ?Sthenictis near ?S. lacota. Postcrania of the nimravid Barbourofelis indicate that it had a subdigitigrade posture and most likely stalked and ambushed its prey in dense cover. The postcranial morphology of Nimravides (Felidae) is most similar to the jaguar, Panthera onca. The carnivorans strongly support a latest Clarendonian age assignment for the Love Bone Bed. Although the Love Bone Bed local fauna does show some evidence of endemism at the species level, it demonstrates that by the late Clarendonian, Florida had become part of the Clarendonian chronofauna of the midcontinent, in contrast to the higher endemism present in the early Miocene and in the later Miocene and Pliocene of Florida.

Leaché Cori Lausen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Biology University of Washington Abstract Diversity, distributions, and activity of bats in the San Juan Islands Rochelle M. Kelly Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sharlene E. Santana Biology The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats are some of the greatest threats to terrestrial biodiversity. Much of the practice of conservation science is rooted in Island Biogeography Theory (IBT). IBT postulates that species richness on islands is driven by a dynamic equilibrium between the effects of area on extinction rates and the effects of isolation on colonization rates. However, studies of plants and animals on oceanic islands and man-made habitat islands suggest that IBT needs to be broadened to consider additional habitat characteristics beyond area and isolation. Additionally, species-specific differences in ecology, life-history, morphology, and mobility are all implicated to mediate how species respond to habitat fragmentation. In Chapter one, I investigated how island area, isolation, and habitat quality influence species richness in a naturally fragmented landscape - The San Juan Archipelago. I also examined whether ecological traits or morphological traits associated with mobility mediate species-specific distribution and activity patterns on the islands. I found that species richness increased on larger islands, but was not affected by habitat quality or isolation at this scale.

We are excited to provide you with the first installment of our annual newsletter, which highlights some of our major achievements in 2015. We had a busy and productive year, as we continued to fulfill the collection’s mission to archive mammal diversity, support scientific inquiry, and contribute to science teaching and public outreach within Washington State and beyond. 2015 Activity Summary The collection continued its steady growth in 2015, thanks to fieldwork Specimens catalogued 697 efforts by Mammalogy staff, institutional partnerships, and chance events, Research visits 387 as detailed in several sections within this newsletter. The collection Research projects at the Burke 27 continued to receive specimens from large scale research initiatives in Specimens examined at the Burke 2,419 Washington State, including the Elwha River Dam Removal and the Mt. St. Specimens loaned 426 Helens Biodiversity Monitoring Project. Scientific publications 18 Students served 420 Visitors engaged in public outreach 1,600+ Mammalogy specimens were used in a wide variety of research projects, spanning the fields of biology, engineering, archeology, paleontology and art. Previous research at Burke Mammalogy yielded 18 scientific publications in 2015 (full list on page 6). Eleven classes, serving 420 students at the University of Washington, the Northwest School, Alderleaf Wilderness College, and Seattle Public Schools used specimens from the collection to provide hands-on learning experiences. Last November, over 1,000 visitors came through the Burke’s door for the 10th annual Meet the Mammals family day.

  • Do Roost-Excavating Bats Have Stronger Skulls?
    Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 102, 1–10. With 3 figures Do roost-excavating bats have stronger skulls? SHARLENE E. SANTANA1* and ELIZABETH R. DUMONT2 1Graduate Program in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA, USA 2Department of Biology, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA, USA Received 14 April 2010; accepted for publication 27 July 2010bij_1551 1..10 In addition to feeding, many vertebrates use their skulls for other functions that are highly relevant to fitness. One such function is roost excavation by the bat Lophostoma silvicolum. Males of this species use their canines to create cavities inside active termite nests, which are significantly harder than the prey they eat. Here we investigate whether the skull of L. silvicolum is specialized for roost excavation relative to the ecologically similar species Tonatia saurophila and Micronycteris hirsuta, which do not excavate roosts. We conducted a finite element analysis that simulated roost excavating and feeding behaviours. These analyses were informed by our observations of feeding and roost-excavating behaviours, bite force, and dissections of the cranial musculature of the three bat species. During the simulation of roost excavation (bilateral canine biting), our data indicate that most regions of the skull of L. silvicolum exhibit less stress than those of T. saurophila and M. hirsuta; however, the latter exhibited the lowest peak stress at the zygomatic arches. During loads that simulate feeding (bilateral molar biting), the three species exhibit similar stress levels. It is not clear whether L. silvicolum has a skull shape that is stronger under the loads imposed by excavation, but it does exhibit relatively higher bilateral canine bite forces that are generated via relatively larger temporalis muscles.

  • Sensory and Cognitive Constraints and Opportunities in Bats
    Sensory and Cognitive Constraints and Opportunities in Bats by Jeneni Thiagavel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto © Copyright by Jeneni Thiagavel, 2019 i Sensory and Cognitive Constraints and Opportunities in Bats Doctor of Philosophy, 2019 Jeneni Thiagavel, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Toronto Here I report on three comparative studies and one review chapter addressing the relationships between sensory reliance, neuroanatomy, skull morphology and body size, as they relate to diet and foraging in bats. In chapter two, I use morphological and echolocation data to test whether (i) mass-signal frequency allometry or (ii) emitter-limited (maximum gape) signal directionality better explain the negative relationship between size and peak frequency in bats. The results suggest that body mass and forearm length were important predictors of open space echolocation call peak frequency in ways that (i) reflect species- specific size differences, and (ii) suggest the influence of preferred foraging habitat. In chapter three, I test the predictions that the ancestral bat had (i) an auditory brain design capable of supporting early laryngeal echolocation, but (ii) eyes of insufficient absolute size to allow insect tracking at night. The results suggest that bats’ common ancestor had eyes too small to allow for successful aerial hawking of flying insects at night, but an auditory brain design sufficient to afford echolocation. Further, we find that those with less sophisticated biosonar have relatively larger eyes than do sophisticated echolocators. ii In chapter four, I continue to explore apparent trade-offs between echolocation call design and vision in predatory bats.
