| 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 |
| secondary structure and feature of mitochondrial trna genes of the ussurian tube-nosed bat murina ussuriensis (chiroptera: vespertilionidae). | the complete mitogenome (nc_021119) of the ussurian tube-nosed bat murina ussuriensis (chiroptera: vespertilionidae) was annotated and characterized in our recent publication (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/nc_021119). here we provide additional information on methods in detail for obtaining the complete sequence of m. ussuriensis mitogenome. in addition, we describe characteristics of 22 trna genes and secondary structure and feature of 22 trnas of m. ussuriensis mitogenome. | 2015 | 26484258 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of the ussurian tube-nosed bat murina ussuriensis (chiroptera: vespertilionidae) in korea. | the complete mitochondrial genome of a korean ussurian tube-nosed bat, murina ussuriensis, was determined. the mitochondrial genome of m. ussuriensis is 17,285 bp in length with a total base composition of 33.8% a, 28.9% t, 23.8% c, and 13.4% g. all the protein-coding genes (total length of 11,401 bp) were encoded in h-strand except for nd6 in l-strand. the total length of 22 trna genes was 1516 bp varying from 62 bp (trna (ser) ((agy))) to 74 bp (trna (leu) ((uur)) and trna (gln)). the 12s rrna ... | 2013 | 23387342 |
| evidence for ussurian tube-nosed bats (murina ussuriensis) hibernating in snow. | surviving winter is a challenge for endothermic animals living at high latitudes. in bats, some species migrate to milder climates in winter, but others presumably stay and hibernate in thermally buffered roosts. however, we know little about where, or in what roosts bats hibernate. ussurian tube-nosed bats (murina ussuriensis) have occasionally been observed under or near the surface of snow. we collected the details of those accounts and used our own observations to conclude that these bats hi ... | 2018 | 30104736 |
