Appendix 3: Synonyms African Chiroptera Report 2009 1479 Appendix 3: Synonyms Appendix 3a: Synonyms by Name This appendix contains all of the synonyms found in the literature (excluding new name combinations and lapsi calami). For each of these synonyms the current name is included to be able to link the name to the information in the main text and the other appendices. The "Taxasyns-id" and "Taxis_id" fields contain the numbers used in the TAXIS African Chiroptera database and are used for internal purposes only.

I. Proposal of complete nomenclature. The first and also the last complete Czech vernacular nomenclature of bats was proposed by Presl (1834), who created names for three suborders (families), 31 genera and 110 species of bats (along with names for all other then known mammals). However, his nomenclature is almost forgotten and is not in common use any more. Although more or less representative Czech nomenclatures of bats were later proposed several times, they were never complete. The most comprehensive nomenclature was proposed by Anděra (1999), who gave names for all supra-generic taxa (mostly homonymial) and for 284 species within the order Chiroptera (ca. 31% of species names compiled by Koopman 1993). A new proposal of a complete Czech nomenclature of bats is given in the Appendix. The review of bat taxonomy by Simmons (2005) was adopted and complemented by several new taxa proposed in the last years (altogether ca. 1200 names). For all taxa, a Czech name (in binomial structure for species following the scientific zoological nomenclature) was adopted from previous vernacular nomenclatures or created as a new name, with an idea to give distinct original Czech generic names to representatives of all families, in cases of species- -rich families also of subfamilies or tribes.

Human activities, especially at the wildlife interphase, are at the core of forces driving the emergence of new viral agents. Global surveillance activities have identified bats as the natural hosts of diverse coronaviruses, with other domestic and wildlife animal species possibly acting as intermediate or spillover hosts. The African continent is confronted by several factors that challenge prevention and response to novel disease emergences, such as high species diversity, inadequate health systems, and drastic social and ecosystem changes. We reviewed published animal coronavirus surveillance studies conducted in Africa, specifically summarizing surveillance approaches, species numbers tested, and findings. Far more surveillance has been Citation: Geldenhuys, M.; Mortlock, initiated among bat populations than other wildlife and domestic animals, with nearly 26,000 bat M.; Epstein, J.H.; Paw˛eska,J.T.; Weyer, J.; Markotter, W.

Folia Zool. 58 (Monograph 1): 1–45. Abstract The genus Triaenops has been considered monospecific in its African and Middle Eastern range (T. persicus), while three other species have been recognised as endemic to Madagascar (T. menamena, T. furculus, and T. auritus), and another to the western Seychelles (T. pauliani). We analysed representative samples of T. persicus from East Africa and the Middle East using both morphological and molecular genetics approaches and compared them with most of the available type material of species of this genus. Morphological comparisons revealed four distinct morphotypes in the set of examined specimens; one in Africa, the others in the Middle East.

  • Tsitongambarika Forest, Madagascar
    TSITONGAMBARIKA FOREST, MADAGASCAR TSITONGAMBARIKA FOREST, MADAGASCAR Biological and socio-economic surveys, with conservation recommendations The biodiversity of Madagascar is well known to be exceptionally rich and highly threatened. Lowland humid evergreen forest is one of the most threatened vegetation types, but significant areas can still be found in the far south-east, notably at Biological and socio-economic surveys, with conservation recommendations Biological Tsitongambarika forest. This book presents the results of a series of biological and socio-economic surveys at Tsitongambarika. These clearly demonstrate the very great importance of this site, and point towards to approaches needed to conserve it. The work was coordinated by Asity Madagascar, with primary support and sponsorship from Rio Tinto, BirdLife International and Rio Tinto QMM.
