| frequency shifting reduces but does not eliminate acoustic interference between echolocating bats: a theoretical analysis. | bats have been observed to shift the frequency of their echolocation calls in the presence of other echolocating bats, ostensibly as a way to reduce acoustic interference. few studies, however, have examined the theoretical efficacy of such jamming avoidance responses. the present study uses the wideband ambiguity function to analyze the effects of acoustic interference from conspecifics and congeneric heterospecifics on the target acquisition ability of myotis californicus and myotis yumanensis ... | 2017 | 29092549 |
| assessment of the hindlimb membrane musculature of bats: implications for active control of the calcar. | the striking postcranial anatomy of bats reflects their specialized ecology; they are the only mammals capable of powered flight. bat postcranial adaptations include a series of membranes that connect highly-modified, or even novel, skeletal elements. while most studies of bat postcranial anatomy have focused on their wings, bat hindlimbs also contain many derived and functionally important, yet less studied, features. in this study, we investigate variation in the membrane and limb musculature ... | 2018 | 29418120 |
| environmental conditions favoring bat infection with histoplasma capsulatum in mexican shelters. | histoplasma capsulatum was isolated from gut, lung, liver, and spleen of 17 of 208 captured bats belonging to 6 different genera and species. three of the 17 infected bats were from the state of guerrero and 14 were from the state of morelos. all were adult bats: 6 males (1 pteronotus parnellii, 2 natalus stramineus, 2 artibeus hirsutus, and 1 leptonycteris nivalis) and 11 females (1 myotis californicus, 1 mormoops megalophylla, 8 a. hirsutus, and 1 l. nivalis). high rates of bat infection with ... | 1999 | 10674670 |
| molecular epidemiology of enzootic rabies in california. | molecular characterization of rabies virus has been used to trace spillover transmission from reservoir species to non-reservoir animals and humans (molecular epidemiology), and to monitor emergence of specific strains of the virus into new species and geographic areas (molecular surveillance). | 1999 | 10614858 |
| six new eimeria species from vespertilionid bats of north america. | twenty species of bats (molossidae, vespertilionidae) were collected from california, new mexico, oregon, south carolina, utah, and baja california norte (mexico), and 29 of 404 (7%) animals, including antrozous pallidus, eptesicus fuscus, myotis auriculus, myotis californicus, myotis ciliolabrum, myotis evotis, myotis lucifugus, myotis thysanodes, myotis vivesi, myotis volans, myotis yumanensis, and nycticeius humeralis were infected with eimeria spp., which represent 6 new species. sporulated ... | 1999 | 10386443 |
