developmental aspects of the neocortex of the bat.	golgi studies on the cerebral cortex (central region) of newborn and adult bats (myotis myotis) have shown that (a) extraverted cells in layer ii-iii are the source of a rich horizontal plexus originating from large numbers of long, proximal axonic collaterals, and (b) significantly greater numbers of basilar and apical dendrites (student's t-test, p less than 0.001) of extraverted pyramidal cells are found in the newborn than in the adult bat, indicating an overproduction of dendrites during th ...	1989	2797509
hemoglobins from bats (myotis myotis and rousettus aegyptiacus): a possible example of molecular adaptation to different physiological requirements.	the functional properties of the hemoglobin systems from two different species of bat i.e. rousettus aegyptiacus and myotis myotis have been studied as a function of chloride, polyphosphates, ph and temperature. apart from overall similarities shared with most mammalian hemoglobins, the two systems show significant differences with respect to the effect of chloride and temperature sensitivity. these findings have been related to the different physiological needs of the two species.	1989	2590470
helminth parasites in some spanish bats.	nineteen bats of the species rhinolophus ferrumequinum, r. hipposideros, myotis myotis, m. nattereri, pipistrellus pipistrellus, barbastella barbastellus, eptesicus serotinus and plecotus auritus captured in n. w. spain in 1983-85 were found to contain the following helminth parasites: mesotretes peregrinus (found in 4 host species and making up 31% of all helminths); plagiorchis vespertilionis (10.5%, in 2 host species); strongylacantha glycirrhiza, molinostrongylus alatus, molineidae gen. sp., ...	1991	1822047
ultrastructural changes in the gonadotrophic and prolactin cells of myotis myotis under experimental conditions.	the adenohypophyseal cells of the pregnant female myotis myotis present as very active elements organized in anastomosing cords in which several secretory cell types appear to intermingle. the prolactin granules are of variable shape, electron density and diameter (180 to 510 nm). the granules of the gonadotrophic cells are columnar or cuboidal and are of medium electron density; the majority are smaller than the prolactin granules. the adenohypophysis of pregnant females kept under experimental ...	1991	1790335
[short-term memory of the mouse-eared bat, myotis myotis, and its biological value].	myotis myotis can precisely locate and memorize sounds made by insects moving on the ground. its competent approach even after an interval indicates an accurate short-term memory, important in catching prey and greatly influencing its distribution and abundance.	1975	1202850
[blood parasites of small wild mammals in czechoslovakia].	the author investigated 4,853 specimens of wild living small mammals (43 species: insectivora, chiroptera, lagomorpha, rodentia, carnivora) from czechoslovakia for blood parasites. trypanosomes were found in talpa europaea, sorex alpinus, crocidura suaveolens, myotis myotis, apodemus sylvaticus, apodemus flavicollis, mus musculus, rattus norvegicus, clethrionomys glareolus and microtus agrestis. babesia was detected in myotis emarginatus, myotis myotis, clethrionomys glareolus, microtus arvalis ...	1975	1158292
[how do mother and young of the bat myotis myotis recognize each other after mother's return from a hunting flight?].	mouse-eared bats leave their young at their sleeping place during the nocturnal hunting flight. the young wait for their mothers' return crowded together in small groups. it is examined whether mother and offspring recognize each other upon the mother's return. it is experimentally shown that each recognizes the other by smell and ultrasonic sound.	1977	930446
occurrence of histoplasma capsulatum darling, 1906 in israel, with a review of the current status of histoplasmosis in the middle east.	the isolation of histoplasma capsulatum from a bat cave in the galilee region of israel is reported along with the discovery of a bat (myotis myotis) infected by h. capsulatum. soils collected in avian and chiropteran habitats throughout israel also yielded the following fungi of medical interest: arthroderma quadrifidum, a. tuberculatum, candida parapsilosis, chrysosporium indicum, c. keratinophilum, c. tropicum, cryptococcus neoformans, ctenomyces serratus, microsporum gypseum, and petriellidi ...	1977	842775
