Genetic diversity of the Chaerephon leucogaster/pumilus complex from mainland Africa and the western Indian Ocean islands.

Theshnie Naidoo

Chaerephon (Dobson, 1874), an Old World genus belonging to the family Molossidae, is part of the suborder Vespertilioniformes. Members of this genus are distributed across mainland Africa (sample sites; Tanzania, Yemen, Kenya, Botswana, South Africa and Swaziland), its offshore islands (Zanzibar, Pemba …

Cross-genus amplification and characterisation of microsatellite loci in the little free tailed bat, Chaerephon pumilus s. l. (Molossidae) from South Eastern Africa

Theshnie Naidoo, Angus H. H. Macdonald, Jennifer M. Lamb

Microsatellite loci for Chaerephon pumilus sensu lato from south eastern Africa were cross-amplified using primers developed for the Mexican free-tailed bat, Tadarida brasiliensis . Two dinucleotide and four tetranucleotide loci were recovered and genotyped for 74 bats, yielding 9 to 15 alleles …

Stable Pleistocene-Era Populations ofChaerephon pumilus(Chiroptera: Molossidae) in Southeastern Africa do not use Different Echolocation Calls

Theshnie Naidoo, M. Corrie Schoeman, Peter J. Taylor, Steven Michael Goodman et autres

Our extension of the phylogenetic study of Taylor et al. (2009) on a larger, more geographically representative sample confirmed their finding of genetically distinct sympatric lineages of bats currently referred to as Chaerephon pumilus sensu lato (s.l.) (family Molossidae) in southeastern Africa. …

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 …

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 …

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 …
