| 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 |
| description of riouxgolvania kapapkamui sp. n. (nematoda: muspiceoidea: muspiceidae), a peculiar intradermal parasite of bats in hokkaido, japan. | riouxgolvania kapapkamui sp. n. (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 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of the korean ikonnikov's bat myotis ikonnikovi (chiroptera: vespertilionidae). | we have characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of a korean ikonnikov's bat species, myotis ikonnikovi. total length of the mitogenome is 16,585 bp with a total base composition of 34.0% a, 30.4% t, 22.8% c and 12.8% g. the mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna (12s and 16s rna) genes, 22 trna genes and 1 control region. the mitogenome of m. ikonnikovi exhibited similar features compared with the previously determined mitogenome of a myotis species, m. formosus. the resu ... | 2015 | 24021011 |
| cryptic mammalian species: a new species of whiskered bat (myotis alcathoe n. sp.) in europe. | the analysis of morphological, behavioural and genetic characters of whiskered bats revealed a new european bat species within the family vespertilionidae. we describe the morphology, karyology, genetic similarity, ecology and distribution of myotis alcathoe n. sp. it closely resembles myotis mystacinus, myotis brandtii and myotis ikonnikovi in morphology, but all four species show clear genetic differences in two mitochondrial genes (nd1 and 12s rrna). myotis alcathoe n. sp. is the smallest spe ... | 2001 | 11482435 |
