Peurach U.S.G.S Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Smithsonian Institution, P.O. Box 37012, National Museum of Natural History, NHB 378, MRC 111, Washington, D.C. 20013-7012 On 9 October 2001, a U.S. Air Force T-37-B jet sustained a wildlife strike during a night flight (2030 hours) over Lawton, Oklahoma. The pilot and a student in the aircraft heard and felt the strike at an altitude of 2,438 meters (8,000 feet) above ground level and immediately recorded the time and location (U.S. Air Force strike number 50313). The strike occurred on the leading edge of the aircraft engine near the intake (B. S. Bowman, pers. comm.). The remains of the animal were recovered from the outside of the aircraft upon landing and initially sent to the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, Division of Birds, for identification. The sample, which consisted of a large section of skin with attached fur, eventually was transferred to the U.S. Geological Survey, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Biological Survey Unit, Division of Mammals, for identification. The alternating banding pattern visible to the naked eye and the frosted tips of the hairs indicated that this bat was a species of Lasiurus, and most likely a hoary bat (L. Cinereus. To identify the sample to the level of species, I prepared a slide of the hair according to techniques described for feathers by Laybourne and Dove (1994) and compared the hairs with a reference collection housed in the Division of Mammals, National Museum of Natural History. Samples were examined at low (100-x), medium (200-x) and high (400-x) power on a Zeiss comparison light microscope. Measurements were taken using an ocular micrometer. The sample was compared macroscopically, as well as microscopically, with samples from species of Lasiurus that occur in Oklahoma (Choate and Jones 1998), including the hoary bat, red bat (L. borealis), and Seminole bat (L. seminolus). Comparisons of unknown hair samples can be difficult when the region of the body that a sample came from is unknown. For bats, however, the form and scale pattern of hairs sampled from different regions of the body, as well as from different sexes, have no marked differences, although color and size of hairs do vary (Benedict, 1957). Under the microscope, scale patterns on hairs from the strike formed a spiral pattern along portions of the shaft, as described for Lasiurus and some species of Myotis and Eptesicus (Nason, 1948). The hairs from the strike showed a banding pattern (dark at the base, followed by a pale band, and then dark distally) that was characteristic of L. cinereus, as described by Moore and Braun (1983). The imbricate crenate scale pattern found at the widest portion of the hair shaft of the unknown sample was a character used by Nason (1948) to distinguish L. cinereus from L. borealis and L. seminolus. The diameter at the widest portion of the hair shaft was reported to be greater than 12.5 microns for L. cinereus and less than 12.5 microns for L. borealis (Moore and Braun, 1983). The diameter of the widest portion of one of the hair shafts found in the wildlife strike was 19 microns. Hairs from voucher specimens of L. seminolus were examined under the microscope and compared to hairs from the strike. The diameter at the widest portion of the hair shaft of L. seminolus was found to be no larger than 12 microns. Hence, the hair sample from the aircraft strike over Oklahoma best matched L. cinereus, according to microscopic characters, macroscopic examination, and geographic distribution. High-altitude flights have been documented for Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis), using visual triangulation (Davis et al. 1962) and radar with associated helicopter visualization to identify the bats (Williams et al.1973). The elevation of Lawton, Oklahoma, is approximately 462 meters and the highest altitude in the state is 1,516 meters at the peak of Black Mesa. Although no records for high-altitude flight were found in the literature for L. cinereus, this flight at 2,438 meters (8,000 feet) above ground level probably represents an altitudinal record for the species.

We tested the hypothesis that a long-term evolutionary association led P. iheringi to choose very specific wing locations to infest the great fruit-eating bats,Artibeus lituratus. Seven anatomical wing regions and the uropatagium from 140 bats were analyzed and a total of 78 parasites were collected. Periglischrus iheringi had a significant preference for the plagiopatagium and dactylopatgium major wing regions (i.e., large, proximal regions) and infestation was directly correlated to area (r=0.9744). However, other factors may also influence mite choice, such as higher and more stable temperature and humidity, vascularization and lower risk of displacement.

Only limited published anecdotal observations exist for roost sites used by this species. Western red bats were split taxonomically from the eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis) in 1988, but summaries of roosting behaviors for western red bats still appear to stem from former associations with the commonly studied eastern red bat.

NATURAL HISTORY Taxonomy: There are six recognized subspecies of Yuma Myotis 1. Because of distributional uncertainties, it is unclear which subspecies occur in Wyoming. In general, the subspecies M. y. yumanensis occurs in the southern Rocky Mountains, while M. y. sociabilis occurs in the northern Rocky Mountains 1, 2. Description: Yuma Myotis may be difficult to identify in the field, even by skilled observers. The species is a small vespertilionid bat, but medium in size among bats in the genus Myotis. Pelage color is variable across the species’ range. Dorsal fur is short, dull, and varies from gray and brown to pale tan in color. Ventral fur is lighter in color, white or buffy. The ears, wing, and tail membranes are pale brown to gray 1. Males and females are identical in appearance, but females may be significantly larger than males in some populations 1. Juveniles are similar in appearance but can be differentiated from adults by the lack of ossified joints in the phalanges for the first summer 3, 4. Yuma Myotis is similar in appearance to other co-occurring Myotis species. Yuma Myotis can be distinguished from Long-legged Myotis (M.

  • Mammal Watching in Northern Mexico Vladimir Dinets
    Mammal watching in Northern Mexico Vladimir Dinets Seldom visited by mammal watchers, Northern Mexico is a fascinating part of the world with a diverse mammal fauna. In addition to its many endemics, many North American species are easier to see here than in USA, while some tropical ones can be seen in unusual habitats. I travelled there a lot (having lived just across the border for a few years), but only managed to visit a small fraction of the number of places worth exploring. Many generations of mammologists from USA and Mexico have worked there, but the knowledge of local mammals is still a bit sketchy, and new discoveries will certainly be made. All information below is from my trips in 2003-2005. The main roads are better and less traffic-choked than in other parts of the country, but the distances are greater, so any traveler should be mindful of fuel (expensive) and highway tolls (sometimes ridiculously high). In theory, toll roads (carretera quota) should be paralleled by free roads (carretera libre), but this isn’t always the case. Free roads are often narrow, winding, and full of traffic, but sometimes they are good for night drives (toll roads never are). All guidebooks to Mexico I’ve ever seen insist that driving at night is so dangerous, you might as well just kill yourself in advance to avoid the horror. In my experience, driving at night is usually safer, because there is less traffic, you see the headlights of upcoming cars before making the turn, and other drivers blink their lights to warn you of livestock on the road ahead.
