| new records of bats from the northern region of the peruvian amazon. | the northern amazon basin in peru is one of the most diverse areas for small mammals in the world. in this work, i present information related to the diversity of bat species in the amazonian region of iquitos, peru, where nearly 60% of the 152 bat species known to peru recorded. unlike in previous investigations in this area, bat surveys were designed to detect species living in urban and rural areas. the results have added a new bat species (eumops delticus) to the peruvian fauna, eight new sp ... | 2011 | 21509963 |
| ornithodoros peropteryx (acari: argasidae) in bolivia: an argasid tick with a single nymphal stage. | by the end of the 1960s, the argasid tick ornithodoros peropteryx was described from larval specimens collected from the bat peropteryx macrotis in colombia. since its original description, no additional record of o. peropteryx has been reported, and its post-larval stages have remained unknown. during july 2010, 18 larvae were collected from 9 bats (centronycteris maximiliani), resulting in a mean infestation of 2.0 ± 2.2 ticks per bat (range 1-8). these bats were captured in a farm in northeas ... | 2013 | 23543273 |
| bat assemblages in conservation areas of a metropolitan region in southeastern brazil, including an important karst habitat. | species richness and abundance of bats were studied in four nature reserves, including a karst area which has many potential rocky shelters for bats, such as caves and rock crevices. the reserves were located in the greater belo horizonte metropolitan area, one of the most populated regions of brazil, within the atlantic forest, and cerrado (brazilian savanna) ecological domains. bats were sampled using mist-nets and, in the karst area, also by active searches in shelters. a total of 1,599 bats ... | 2013 | 23917558 |
| on eimeria bragancaensis n. sp. (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) and tissue-cysts of an unidentified protozoan in the bat peropteryx macrotis (chiroptera: emballonuridae) from amazonian brazil. | a description is given of the mature oocysts and endogenous stages of eimeria bragancaensis n. sp., from the small intestine of the bat peropteryx macrotis from north brazil. oocysts are spherical to subspherical, 15.9 x 14.6 microns (range 14-17 x 14-17.7). the wall is of two layers: an outer, thicker one which is of a brownish-yellow colour and striated (pitted), and an inner one which is thin and colourless. the outer layer is frequently lost. no micropyle or oocyst residuum present, but the ... | 2000 | 10887659 |
| redescription of ornithodoros dyeri (ixodida: argasidae) based on morphologic and molecular data. | larvae, nymphs and adults of the cave dwelling tick ornithodoros dyeri, collected in 3 mexican states, were studied using morphological and molecular methods. the adults and nymphs were characterized by an elongated body in proportion to the width and a dorsum bounded by two contiguous ridges and one third ridge (inner) that was incomplete on each side. the larvae of this species have 14 pairs of dorsal setae, a venter body with nine pairs of setae plus a posteromedian; a moderately large, dorsa ... | 2016 | 27062447 |
