To determine that the bat they captured was a unique species the research team had to distinguish it from species that they are closely related to (M. tricolor and M. welwitschii). To do this they analyzed the bone structure of each of the species. They also looked at the wing membrane to compare and contrast the differences for each of the ...
The 121 extant species of Myotinae are divided between three genera: Eudiscopus and Submyotodon with one species each, and Myotis, or the mouse-eared bats, with the other 119. A few extinct prehistoric myotine species have been discovered, though due to ongoing research and discoveries the exact number and categorization is not fixed. [3]
This new fruit bat was discovered in two bat collections from Malawi. The species is intermediate in size between the sympatric species E. labiatus and E. crypturus. Its wings are relatively broad, its tail membrane is narrow. In females, the 5th palatal ridge is partly between the first upper molars. [23]
The two oldest-known fossil skeletons of bats, unearthed in southwestern Wyoming and dating to at least 52 million years ago, are providing insight into the early evolution of these flying mammals ...
Walston's bat is one of 126 new species found in the Greater Mekong region during 2011. [4] There were two other tube-nosed bats found in Southeast Asia in 2011: Ashy-gray tube-nosed bat (Murina cineracea) and Beelzebub's tube-nosed bat (Murina beelzebub). [4] All three species are small for bats and M. walstoni is small for a Murina bat. [4]
