| characteristics of echolocating bats' auditory stereocilia length, compared with other mammals. | the stereocilia of the organ of corti in 4 different echolocating bats, myotis adversus, murina leucogaster, nyctalus plancyi (nyctalus velutinus), and rhinolophus ferrumequinum were observed by using scanning electron microscopy (sem). stereocilia lengths were estimated for comparison with those of non-echolocating mammals. the specialized lengths of outer hair cells (ohc) stereocilia in echolocating bats were shorter than those of non-echolocating mammals. the specialized lengths of inner hair ... | 2007 | 17653670 |
| karyotype relationships of six bat species (chiroptera, vespertilionidae) from china revealed by chromosome painting and g-banding comparison. | the vespertilionidae is the largest family in the order chiroptera and has a worldwide distribution in the temperate and tropical regions. in order to further clarify the karyotype relationships at the lower taxonomic level in vespertilionidae, genome-wide comparative maps have been constructed between myotis myotis (mmy, 2n = 44) and six vesper bats from china: myotis altarium (mal, 2n = 44), hypsugo pulveratus (hpu, 2n = 44), nyctalus velutinus (nve, 2n = 36), tylonycteris robustula (tro, 2n = ... | 2006 | 17065796 |
