(nematoda: muspiceoidea: muspiceidae), a peculiar intradermal parasite, is described based on gravid adults, eggs, and first-, second-, and third-stage larvae collected from dermal nodules formed in myotis macrodactylus and myotis ikonnikovi bats from hokkaido, japan. the nematode is readily distinguished from 3 previously described congeners in having a globular body with brown, transverse striae in the anterior region of fully grown females. the third-stage larv ... | 2012 | 22493947 |
| acoustic identification of eight species of bat (mammalia: chiroptera) inhabiting forests of southern hokkaido, japan: potential for conservation monitoring. | assessing the impact of forest management on bat communities requires a reliable method for measuring patterns of habitat use by individual species. a measure of activity can be obtained by monitoring echolocation calls, but identification of species is not always straightforward. we assess the feasibility of using analysis of time-expanded echolocation calls to identify free-flying bats in the tomakomai experimental forest of hokkaido university, hokkaido, northern japan. echolocation calls of ... | 2004 | 15459453 |
