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

    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).

  • Food Choice in Frugivorous Bats

    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.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores

    The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores

    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.
