Wing Loading Correlates Negatively with Genetic Structuring of Eight Afro-Malagasy Bat Species (Molossidae)

Peter J. Taylor, Steven Michael Goodman, M. Corrie Schoeman, Fanja H. Ratrimomanarivo et autres

We tested the effects of aspect ratio, wing loading and body size (forearm length) on four estimators of molecular diversity (based on mitochondrial D-loop and cytochrome-b DNA sequences) among eight Afro-Malagasy species of free-tailed (Family Molossidae) bats. As expected based on many …

The genus Neoromicia (Family Vespertilionidae) in Madagascar, with the description of a new species

Steven Michael Goodman, Peter J. Taylor, Fanja H. Ratrimomanarivo, Steven R. Hoofer

Using molecular genetics, male sexual organ morphology (baculum), and cranio-dental characters, we describe a new spe-cies of the genus Neoromicia from Madagascar, N. robertsi sp. nov. It is presumed to be endemic to the island and isknown from three specimens taken in …

Genetically and geographically isolated lineages of a tropical bat (Chiroptera: Molossidae) show demographic stability over the late Pleistocene

Jennifer M. Lamb, Theshnie Naidoo, Peter J. Taylor, Melanie Carmel. Napier et autres

The newly described molossid bat, Chaerephon atsinanana Goodman et al., 2010, endemic to eastern Madagascar, shows notably high levels of phylogeographic and genetic structure compared with allopatric Chaerephon leucogaster Grandidier, 1869 from western Madagascar. Such highly significant structuring of haplotypes among altitudinally …

The Effect of Tourist Visits on the Behavior of Rousettus madagascariensis (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) in the Caves of Ankarana, Northern Madagascar

Scott G. Cardiff, Fanja H. Ratrimomanarivo, Steven Michael Goodman

Disturbance by tourists of bats in their day roosts represents a potential threat to the conservation of these mammals. We assessed the effect of experimental tourist visits on behavior of the Malagasy endemic Rousettus madagascariensis (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) in the Ankarana National Park, …

Toward a Molecular Phylogeny for the Molossidae (Chiroptera) of the Afro-Malagasy Region

Jennifer M. Lamb, Taryn M. C. Ralph, Theshnie Naidoo, Peter J. Taylor et autres

We present phylogenetic information based on nuclear Rag2 and mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence data for six genera of Molossidae (Chaerephon, Mops, Mormopterus, Otomops, Sauromys, Tadarida) and 18 species, primarily from Africa and the Malagasy region (Madagascar and neighbouring islands), and further include …

Patterns of morphological and genetic variation in western Indian Ocean members of the Chaerephon 'pumilus' complex (Chiroptera: Molossidae), with the description of a new species from Madagascar

Steven Michael Goodman, WAHEEDA BUCCAS, Theshnie Naidoo, Fanja H. Ratrimomanarivo et autres

The species delimitations of African, Arabian Peninsula, and western Indian Ocean island members of the Molossidae bat species complex Chaerephon pumilus remain largely unresolved. Based on genetic analyses this group is paraphyletic, with C. leucogaster nested within C. pumilus sensu lato, and …

Hunting, disturbance and roost persistence of bats in caves at Ankarana, northern Madagascar

Scott G. Cardiff, Fanja H. Ratrimomanarivo, Guillaume Rembert, Steven Michael Goodman

Abstract Surveys and monitoring of 37 caves in and around the Ankarana Special Reserve, northern Madagascar, yielded evidence of hunting of bats and potential disturbance of bats by miners and tourists, and colony counts for several bat species of potential conservation concern. …

Geographic and Phylogeographic Variation inChaerephon leucogaster(Chiroptera: Molossidae) of Madagascar and the Western Indian Ocean Islands of Mayotte and Pemba

Fanja H. Ratrimomanarivo, Steven Michael Goodman, William T. Stanley, Theshnie Naidoo et autres

We examine patterns of morphological and genetic variation in Chaerephon leucogaster (family Molossidae) on Madagascar, Mayotte in the Comoros Archipelago, and the offshore Tanzanian island of Pemba. Five external, 10 cranial, and eight dental measurements of animals from different Malagasy populations (grouped …

Cryptic Lineages of Little Free-Tailed Bats,Chaerephon pumilus(Chiroptera: Molossidae) from Southern Africa and the Western Indian Ocean Islands

Peter J. Taylor, Jennifer M. Lamb, Devendran Reddy, Theshnie Naidoo et autres

We investigate mitochondrial DNA and craniometric variation in southern African and Malagasy populations of the small and morphologically variable, house-roosting molossid bat, Chaerephon pumilus in relation to Malagasy populations of the related, smaller-sized species, C. leucogaster. Both cytochrome b and D-loop sequences …
