spinturnicid mites (gamasida: spinturnicidae) associated with bats in central brazil.	the results of a survey of spinturnicid mites (gamasida: spinturnicidae) infesting bats near brasília, d.f., brazil, are presented. one hundred twenty-five bats were collected, representing three families and 15 species. seven species of spinturnicid mites (genus periglischrus) were collected from nine species of bats (family phyllostomidae). each of the following six species of periglischrus was associated with a single species of bat: periglischrus acutisternus machado-allison and p. torrealba ...	1989	2795621
localization of rrna genes in phyllostomidae bats reveals silent nors in artibeus cinereus.	we analyzed the nucleolus organizer regions (nors) of thirteen bats from genera phyllostomus, phylloderma, trachops, tonatia, sturnira, platyrrhinus, artibeus and glossophaga. we used silver staining and fish with rdna probe. nine species had only one ag-nor-bearing chromosome pair. artibeus lituratus, a. jamaicensis and a. fimbriatus presented multiple ag-nors located in the short arms of pairs 5, 6 and 7, and an additional mark in the long arm of one chromosome 5 in a. fimbriatus. artibeus cin ...	2002	12369099
meiotic analysis of xx/xy and neo-xx/xy sex chromosomes in phyllostomidae by cross-species chromosome painting revealing a common chromosome 15-xy rearrangement in stenodermatinae.	we analyzed the meiotic behavior of the sex chromosomes of the bats glossophaga soricina (xx/xy), artibeus cinereus and uroderma magnirostrum (neo-xx/xy) using multicolor fish. the x chromosome and pair 15 autosome probes are from phyllostomus hastatus and the y from carollia brevicauda. on both species with the neo-xx/xy system, the autosome translocated to the sex chromosomes is the pair 15 in p. hastatus, a synapomorphy. the analysis of meiosis confirms that the x and y have a pseudo-autosoma ...	2010	20635197
