  • Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats As Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters
    Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats as Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Miranda Galey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Ron Moen, Dr. Jessica R. Sieber September 2020 Copyright © Miranda Galey 2020 Abstract Bat fecal samples are a rich source of ecological data for bat biologists, entomologists, and microbiologists. Feces collected from individual bats can be used to profile the gut microbiome using microbial DNA and to understand bat foraging strategies using arthropod DNA. We used eDNA collected from bat fecal samples to better understand bats as predators in the context of their unique gut physiology. We used high through- put sequencing of the COI gene and 16S rRNA gene to determine the diet composition and gut microbiome composition of three bat species in Minnesota: Eptesicus fuscus, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis. In our analysis of insect prey, we found that E. fuscus consistently foraged for a higher diversity of beetle species compared to other insects. We found that the proportional frequency of tympanate samples from M. septentrionalis and M. lucifugus was similar, while M. septentrionalis consistently preyed more often upon non-flying species. We used the same set of COI sequences to determine presence of pest species, rare species, and insects not previously observed in Minnesota. We were able to combine precise arthropod identification and the for- aging areas of individually sampled bats to observe possible range expansion of some insects. The taxonomic composition of the bat gut microbiome in all three species was found to be consistent with the composition of a mammalian small intestine.

Because Glades often exhibit very stressful abiotic conditions such as thin, nutrient-poor To those unfamiliar with the state, Alabama is surprising soils, high irradiance, and extremes in temperature, these in its biological diversity. Alabama ranks 5th in the U.S. habitats limit plant productivity (Baskin and Baskin, for overall biological diversity, and 1st east of the 2000; Garland, 2008). Glades typically contain endemic Mississippi River (Stein, 2002). The state also ranks or relict species typical of hotter and drier conditions of high (#7 in the U.S.) in the number of endemic species, deserts or dry prairies (Baskin and Baskin, 2000), and with 144 species that occur nowhere else in the world. the Bibb Co. Glades are no exception. They are home to Much of this biodiversity is due to high numbers of eight endemic species and subspecies of vascular plants aquatic species, but the diversity of terrestrial organisms that have been recently described as well as 44 rare is also very rich. In addition, terrestrial plants show vascular plants, the latter as formally recognized by the considerable biodiversity, placing Alabama as #9 in the Alabama Natural Heritage Program (Allison and US, and #3 of eastern states (Stein, 2002). Stephens, 2001). It is likely that no other area of the U.S.
