| first record of the bat mimon crenulatum (e. geoffroy, 1801) (mammalia: chiroptera) in the state of rio de janeiro, southeastern brazil. | the present study reports an extension of the geographic range of the phyllostomid bat mimon crenulatum. this is the first record of this species in the state of rio de janeiro, southeastern brazil. bats were captured in two conservation units of the atlantic forest. data on the ecology and morphometry of the individuals are presented and compared with data recorded for other localities. the occurrence of this bat species in the region, though new, is consistent with information on its natural h ... | 2006 | 16710521 |
| ticks infesting bats (mammalia: chiroptera) in the brazilian pantanal. | ticks associated with bats have been poorly documented in the neotropical zoogeographical region. in this study, a total of 1028 bats were sampled for tick infestations in the southern portion of the brazilian pantanal. a total of 368 ticks, morphologically identified as ornithodoros hasei (n = 364) and o. mimon (n = 4), were collected from the following bat species: artibeus planirostris, platyrrhinus lineatus, phyllostomus hastatus, mimon crenulatum and noctilio albiventris. morphological iden ... | 2016 | 26912332 |
| karyotypic variation in rhinophylla pumilio peters, 1865 and comparative analysis with representatives of two subfamilies of phyllostomidae (chiroptera). | the family phyllostomidae belongs to the most abundant and diverse group of bats in the neotropics with more morphological traits variation at the family level than any other group within mammals. in this work, we present data of chromosome banding (g, c and ag-nor) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish) for representatives of rhinophylla pumilio peters, 1865 collected in four states of brazil (amazonas, bahia, mato grosso and pará). two karyomorphs were found in this species: 2n=34, fn=6 ... | 2012 | 24260663 |
| carios mimon (acari: argasidae): description of adults and redescription of larva. | carios mimon is an argasid tick common on chiroptera, originally described from larvae collected on bats mimon crenulatum from bolivia and eptesicus brasiliensis from uruguay. later it was also registered from argentina and recently included among the brazilian tick fauna. in brazil, this species is very aggressive to man, resulting in intense inflammatory response and pain. it is known only by the larval description and its morphology resembles that from other species currently included into th ... | 2010 | 21161720 |
