These results confirmed earlier findings of deep phylogeographic splits in four pairs of vicariant species (Myotis daubentonii/petax, M. nattereri/bombinus, Plecotus auritus/ognevi and Miniopterus schreibersii/ fuliginosus) and suggested previously unreported splits within Eptesicus nilssoni and Myotis aurascens. DNA barcodes support all taxa raised to species rank in the past 25 years and suggest that an additional species — Myotis sibiricus — should be separated from Myotis brandtii. Major phylogeographic splits occur between European and Asian populations of Myotis aurascens, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Myotis frater; smaller scale splits are observed between insular and mainland populations in the Far East (M. frater, Myotis ikonnikovi and Murina ussuriensis) and also between southeastern Europe and Ciscaucasia (Myotis daubentonii, Plecotus auritus, and Pipistrellus pipistrellus). One confirmed case of sequence sharing was observed in our dataset — Eptesicus nilssoni/serotinus. This study corroborates the utility of DNA barcodes as a taxonomic assessment tool for bats.

In the current study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Eophona personata, the Japanese Grosbeak, and the phylogenetic relationships of E. personata and 16 other species of the family Fringil- lidae based on the sequences of 12 mitochondrial protein-coding genes. The mitochondrial genome of E. personata consists of 16,771 base pairs, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and one control region. Analysis of the base composition revealed an A+T bias, a positive AT skew and a negative GC skew. The mitochondrial gene order and arrangement in E.

  • Cave Bat Species in Mongolia
    Cave bat species in Mongolia Ariunbold Jargalsaikhan Department of Biology, School of Mathematic and Natural Science, Mongolian National University of Education. [email protected] +976 99192925 Introduction Total of 19 bat species were recorded in Mongolia and most of them are resident species. A few them are migrant bat species, but never studied before migration of the bat species. There are about 1000 caves in Mongolia and 200 of them considered larger caves in size. Our recent study was determined hibernating places of migrant bat species. In Mongolia, there is almost no studies have been reported about biology of caves; however, Germany researcher M.Stubbe is recorded and ringed an Eastern water bat from cave Havtsal near Chono Kharaikh river in 1977. Our recent studies Ognev’s long-eared bat are recorded 10 species of bats from 14 caves. Conditions of Khevtee bosoo cave Hibernating and habitat conditions of bats, Hibernating and habitat conditions of Steppe environment of Khuit cave Methods whiskered bat, environment of Shar khanan cave In winter time, we have been searched for bats in gaps of walls, clump and ceiling of caves with flash light, and in summer time, just walk in cave and searched for bats and also closing the cave entrance and captured with mist net. All morphometrics of bats were measured and released after ringed the bats. Results and Conclusion The bat species were hibernated Dayandeerkhi, Khuit and Soogt in northern region, and also Tsagaandel, Shar khanan, Taliin agui in the southern region of Mongolia. Soogt cave is 72 m deep vertical shaped (Avirmed, 2008) and Ognev’s long-eared bat (Plecotus ognevi) hibernates there.

  • Echolocation Call Structure of Fourteen Bat Species in Korea
    Anim. Syst. Evol. Divers. Vol. 31, No. 3: 160-175, July 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.5635/ASED.2015.31.3.160 Echolocation Call Structure of Fourteen Bat Species in Korea Dai Fukui1,2,*, David A. Hill3,4, Sun-Sook Kim2, Sang-Hoon Han2 1The University of Tokyo Hokkaido Forest, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Hokkaido 079-1563, Japan 2Division of Animal Resources, National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon 404-708, Korea 3Wildlife Research Center, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8203, Japan 4Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, Aichi 484-8506, Japan ABSTRACT The echolocation calls of bats can provide useful information about species that are generally difficult to observe in the field. In many cases characteristics of call structure can be used to identify species and also to obtain information about aspects of the bat’s ecology. We describe and compare the echolocation call structure of 14 of the 21 bat spe­ cies found in Korea, for most of which the ecology and behavior are poorly understood. In total, 1,129 pulses were analyzed from 93 echolocation call sequences of 14 species. Analyzed pulses could be classified into three types according to the pulse shape: FM/CF/FM type, FM type and FM/QCF type. Pulse structures of all species were con­ sistent with previous studies, although geographic variation may be indicated in some species. Overall classification rate provided by the canonical discriminant analysis was relatively low. Especially in the genera Myotis and Murina, there are large overlaps in spectral and temporal parameters between species.

  • Bacterial Diversity in the Gastrointestinal Tracts of Rhinolophus Luctus and Murina Leucogaster in Henan Province, China
    Annals of Microbiology (2019) 69:1407–1414 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13213-019-01524-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Bacterial diversity in the gastrointestinal tracts of Rhinolophus luctus and Murina leucogaster in Henan Province, China Yan Sun1 & Zhimin Yuan1 & Yuming Guo2 & Yuanzhao Qin2 & Yongtian Ban2 & Hongxing Niu1 & Yanzhen Bu1 Received: 4 July 2019 /Accepted: 3 November 2019 /Published online: 21 November 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Purpose Previous studies have assessed the diversity of gastrointestinal bacteria in bats and reported that some of the strains are pathogenic to humans; therefore, bats are considered to be potential reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens. However, the bacterial diversity and types of pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tracts of Rhinolophus luctus and Murina leucogaster have not yet been determined. Humans frequently come into contact with these species; therefore, assessments of their gut microbiota, especially potential pathogens, are essential for public health. In the present study, MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was used to address this research gap, and the results were compared with those reported previously. Methods The V3–V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene were sequenced using the MiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform to determine the bacterial community of the stomach and the intestines of R. luctus and M. leucogaster. Results The bacteria in the gastrointestinal tracts of R. luctus and M. leucogaster were classified into three and four main bacterial phyla, respectively. In both R. luctus and M. leucogaster, the dominant phylum was Proteobacteria (stomach 86.07% and 95.79%, intestines 91.87% and 88.78%, respectively), followed by Firmicutes (stomach 13.84% and 4.19%, intestines 8.11% and 11.20%, respectively).

Movements of animals and people enable pathogens to travel faster than the incubation period of the epizootic diseases they cause and the health risks for humans, domestic animals and wildlife are rapidly evolving. Growth of the human population, climate change and increased land use are all factors that must be urgently taken into account to safeguard biodiversity on all continents. The Veterinary Services and veterinary teaching establishments must strengthen their capacities in the field of wildlife conservation and health management. New tools and new forms of collaboration and synergies need to be established between these services, wildlife specialists and users of the natural environment, which will in future provide valuable assistance in this field .

When Linnaeus in the mid­1700s began naming animals with a binomial nomenclature, he based names on the Latin Grammatical Form. Since many names have Latin or Greek roots, the name for an animal is the same throughout the world because Latin is no longer a spoken language and meanings of names will not evolve or change. In his use of Latin or a Latinized word for the genus and species, Linnaeus used descriptive words that will always be the same. Notwithstanding the importance of etymologies for scientific names, no study has addressed the etymology of scientific names for Korean mammals. Here, we list etymologies for scientific names of 127 mammal species, 84 genera, 32 families, and 8 orders from Korea. The origins of etymologies are mostly based on morphology, color of pelage, behavior, distribution, locality, country name, or a person’s name. This paper will be useful for new students and trained scholars studying Korean mammals.
