  • Bat Count 2003
    BAT COUNT 2003 Working to promote the long term, sustainable conservation of globally threatened flying foxes in the Philippines, by developing baseline population information, increasing public awareness, and training students and protected area managers in field monitoring techniques. 1 A Terminal Report Submitted by Tammy Mildenstein1, Apolinario B. Cariño2, and Samuel Stier1 1Fish and Wildlife Biology, University of Montana, USA 2Silliman University and Mt. Talinis – Twin Lakes Federation of People’s Organizations, Diputado Extension, Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines Photo by: Juan Pablo Moreiras 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large flying foxes in insular Southeast Asia are the most threatened of the Old World fruit bats due to deforestation, unregulated hunting, and little conservation commitment from local governments. Despite the fact they are globally endangered and play essential ecological roles in forest regeneration as seed dispersers and pollinators, there have been only a few studies on these bats that provide information useful to their conservation management. Our project aims to promote the conservation of large flying foxes in the Philippines by providing protected area managers with the training and the baseline information necessary to design and implement a long-term management plan for flying foxes. We focused our efforts on the globally endangered Philippine endemics, Acerodon jubatus and Acerodon leucotis, and the bats that commonly roost with them, Pteropus hypomelanus, P. vampyrus lanensis, and P. pumilus which are thought to be declining in the Philippines. Local participation is an integral part of our project. We conducted the first national training workshop on flying fox population counts and conservation at the Subic Bay area.

  • ANTIQUITY 2008 (In Press) an Unexpected, Stripe-Faced Flying Fox in Ice Age Rock Art of Australia's Kimberley. “Jack” Pett
    ANTIQUITY 2008 (in press) An Unexpected, Stripe-faced Flying Fox in Ice Age Rock Art of Australia’s Kimberley. “Jack” Pettigrew, Marilyn Nugent, Anscar McPhee, Josh Wallman Bradshaw rock art of northern Australia enjoys continuing controversy concerning what community painted them and how to interpret the images (Roy 2002). The keen observation and accurate depictions of the natural world shown here, as well as the extraordinary longevity of the stains used, all tend to support the side of the controversy that posits a distinct cultural entity. We describe a painting unmistakably depicting flying foxes with features not found in bats presently found in Australia. Thermoluminescence dating of wasp nest overlying the art suggests an ice age migration to Australia, either of the bats or of the artists who painted them, a more likely scenario biologically than younger dates. The bat depictions were found on a sandstone wall protected by overhangs, near Kalumburu (14.30 °S; 126.64 °E), amongst other walls showing characteristic Bradshaw art (Walsh 2002). The depiction shows eight roosting megabats (flying foxes, Family Pteropodidae, sub-Order Megachiroptera) hanging from a slender branch, or more likely, a vine (Figs 1,2). Each bat has a distinctive white facial stripe and pale belly (Fig. 3). Figure1. White-striped flying foxes depicted in Bradshaw rock art at Kalumburu, in the Kimberley of Western Australia. Figure 2. Extension, to the left, of the same depicted group of shown in Fig. 1, with which there is some overlap. Dating: The indelible inks used in Bradshaw art penetrate more than a millimetre into the sandstone but have resisted all attempts so far to date them directly, with a number of different estimates of their age (Michaelson and Ebersole 2000).

Abstract Chemosignaling – passing information by means of chemical compounds that can be detected by members of the same species – is a very important form of communication for most mammals. Flying fox males have odiferous marking secretions on their neck-ruffs that include a combination of secretion from the neck gland and from the urogenital tract; males use this substance to establish territory, especially during the mating season.

Raya Cibinong Km 46, Cibinong 16911, Indonesia (MHS) The pteropodid genus Dyacopterus Andersen, 1912, comprises several medium-sized fruit-bat species endemic to forested areas of Sundaland and the Philippines. Specimens of Dyacopterus are sparsely represented in collections of world museums, which has hindered resolution of species limits within the genus. Based on our studies of most available museum material, we review the infrageneric taxonomy of Dyacopterus using craniometric and other comparisons. In the past, 2 species have been described—D. spadiceus (Thomas, 1890), described from Borneo and later recorded from the Malay Peninsula, and D. brooksi Thomas, 1920, described from Sumatra. These 2 nominal taxa are often recognized as species or conspecific subspecies representing these respective populations. Our examinations instead suggest that both previously described species of Dyacopterus co-occur on the Sunda Shelf—the smaller-skulled D. spadiceus in peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo, and the larger-skulled D.

  • Molecular Phylogenetic Relationship Between and Within the Fruit
    Journal of American Science, 2011;7(10) http://www.americanscience.org Molecular Phylogenetic Relationship Between and Within the Fruit Bat (Rousettus Aegyptiacus) and the Lesser Tailed Bat (Rhinopoma Hardwickei) Deduced From RAPD-PCR Analysis Ramadan A. M. Ali Department of Zoology, College for Women, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt [email protected] Abstract: The RAPD-PCR in the present study was used to determine the genetic variation within and among two Egyptian bat species, Rousettus aegyptiacus and Rhinopoma hardwickei. The animals were captured from one locality at Giza governorate, Egypt. A total of 39 bands were amplified by the three primers OPAO2, OPAO8 and OPCO3 with an average 13 bands per primer at molecular weights ranged from 1409 to 107 bp. The polymorphic loci between both species were 34 with percentage 87.18 %. The numbers of monomorphic bands in Rousettus aegyptiacus aegyptiacus and Rhinopoma hardwickei arabium were 14 and 9 bands, respectively. The two species are sharing 5 (12.8 %) monomorphic bands. The similarity coefficients value between the two bat species was ranged from 0.353 to 0.500 with an average of 0.404 (40.4%). Dendrogram showed that, the two bats genotypes are separated from each other into two clusters and more variation among members of Rhinopoma hardwickei arabium was observed in comparison to those of Rousettus aegyptiacus aegyptiacus. It is concluded that, the similarity coefficient value between the two bat species indicates that, the two bat species may have the same origin but are not identical and separated into two clusters.

  • Bats of the Philippine Islands –A Review of Research Directions and Relevance to National- 2 Level Priorities and Targets 3 Krizler Cejuela
    1 Bats of the Philippine Islands –a review of research directions and relevance to national- 2 level priorities and targets 3 Krizler Cejuela. Tanalgo & Alice Catherine Hughes 4 Landscape Ecology Group, Centre for Integrative Conservation, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, 5 Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yunnan, P.R. China 6 7 Abstract 8 Effective science-based conservation priorities and policies are crucially important to 9 effectively maintain biodiversity into the future. For many threatened species and systems 10 insufficient information exists to generate priorities, or the mechanisms needed to effectively 11 conserve species into the future, and this is especially important in megadiversity countries like 12 the Philippines, threatened by rapid rates of development and with few overarching strategies 13 to maintain their biodiversity. Here, using a bibliographic approach to indicate research 14 strengths and priorities, we summarised scientific information on Philippine bats from 2000- 15 2017. We examine relationships between thematic areas and effort allocated for each species 16 bat guild, and conservation status. We found that an average of 7.9 studies was published 17 annually with the majority focused on diversity and community surveys. However, research 18 effort is not even between taxonomic groups, thematic areas or species, with disproportionate 19 effort focusing on ‘taxonomy and systematics’ and ‘ecology’. Species effort allocation between 20 threatened and less threatened species does not show a significant difference, though this may 21 be because generalist species are found in many studies, whereas rarer species have single 22 species studies devoted to them. A growing collaborative effort in bat conservation initiatives 23 in the Philippines has focused on the protection of many endemic and threatened species (e.g., 24 flying foxes) and their habitats.
