Vespertilionidae
Vespertilionidae is a family of microbats, of the order Chiroptera, flying, insect-eating mammals variously described as the common, vesper, or simple nosed bats. The vespertilionid family is the most diverse and widely distributed of bat families, specialised in many forms to occupy a range of habitats and ecological circumstances, and it is frequently observed or the subject of research. The facial features of the species are often simple, as they mainly rely on vocally emitted echolocation. The tails of the species are enclosed by the lower flight membranes between the legs. Over 300 species are distributed all over the world, on every continent except Antarctica. It owes its name to the genus ''Vespertilio'', which takes its name from a word for bat, ', derived from the Latin term ' meaning 'evening'; they are termed "evening bats" and were once referred to as "evening birds". (The term "evening bat" also often refers more specifically to one of the species, '' Nycticeius humer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Big Brown Bat
The big brown bat (''Eptesicus fuscus'') is a species of vesper bat distributed widely throughout North America, the Caribbean, and the northern portion of South America. It was first described as a species in 1796. Compared to other microbats, the big brown bat is relatively large, weighing and possessing a wingspan of . Big brown bats are insectivorous, consuming a diverse array of insects, particularly night-flying insects, but especially beetles. Some of the beetles it consumes are serious agricultural pests, including cucumber beetles. They are nocturnal, foraging for prey at night and roosting in sheltered areas during the day such as caves, tunnels, tree cavities, and human structures. Their breeding season is in the fall, shortly before their annual hibernation. After hibernation ends in the spring, females form maternity colonies for giving birth to young. Oftentimes only one offspring is produced per litter, though twins are common in the Eastern US. Lifespans o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Argentine Brown Bat
The Argentine brown bat (''Eptesicus furinalis''), is a bat species from South and Central America. Description The Argentine brown bat is a small to medium sized bat, its dorsal pelage is a cinnamon brown color. Its ventral pelage is a dark brown to almost black. Based on time of year and the climate which the bat is found their dorsal pelage can range in various shades. usually from mid-September through march they may be slightly lighter, than in summer months. Argentine brown bats have distinctive; husky bodies, a large broad head, with short round ears. This species of bat differ from other species of the same family because their average body size is larger than '' E. diminutus'' but they are smaller than both '' E. basillensis'' and '' E. fuscus''. One of the main defining characteristics is that Argentine brown bats maxillary tooth row differ in length compared to other species in that their average maxillary tooth-row length is between 5.4 and 6.3 mm in length.

Oriental Serotine
The Oriental serotine (''Eptesicus pachyomus'') is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is widespread and found throughout Asia. Taxonomy This species was formerly considered a subspecies of the serotine bat (''E. serotinus''), which is thought to be its closest relative. However, a 2013 study found significant genetic divergence between ''E. serotinus'' and ''E. pachyomus'', and thus ''pachyomus'' was raised to species status. These results have been accepted by the American Society of Mammalogists, IUCN Red List, and ITIS. It has four subspecies: * ''E. p. pachyomus'': India, Nepal, possibly Myanmar * ''E. p. andersoni'': eastern Asia * ''E. p. pallens'': western China * ''E. p. horikawai'': Taiwan Habitat and distribution The species is widespread and in found in China, Taiwan, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Pakistan and Iran. It inhabits habitats such as semi-desert, steppe habitats, and tropical forests. It roosts in shaded areas such as crack ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orinoco Serotine
The Orinoco () is one of the longest rivers in South America at . Its drainage basin, sometimes known as the Orinoquia, covers , with 76.3 percent of it in Venezuela and the remainder in Colombia. It is the fourth largest river in the world by discharge volume of water. The Orinoco River and its tributaries are the major transportation system for eastern and interior Venezuela and the Llanos of Colombia. The environment and wildlife in the Orinoco's basin are extremely diverse. Etymology The river's name is derived from the Warao term for "a place to paddle", itself derived from the terms ''güiri'' (paddle) and ''noko'' (place) i.e. a navigable place. History The mouth of the Orinoco River at the Atlantic Ocean was documented by Christopher Columbus on 1 August 1498, during his third voyage. Its source at the Cerro Delgado–Chalbaud, in the Parima range, was not explored until 453 years later, in 1951. The source, near the Venezuelan–Brazilian border, at ab ...

Ognev's Serotine
Ognev's serotine (''Eptesicus ognevi'') is a species of vesper bat found in western and central Asia. Taxonomy Described in 1918 by Nikolay Alekseyevich Bobrinski, it was later synonymized with Botta's serotine (''E. bottae'') of Western Asia and Egypt. However, a 2013 genetic study found that while there were very subtle morphological differences between both taxa, mtDNA and nuclear DNA analyses supported both taxa being distinct from one another, and they were thus split as distinct species. The results of this study have been followed by the American Society of Mammalogists, the IUCN Red List, and the ITIS. It is named after Russian mammalogist Sergey Ognev. Distribution and habitat It is known from the Caucasus, Central Asia, and northern South Asia, ranging from Georgia east to Kazakhstan and south to Kashmir. It is known from northern Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, northernmost India, northeastern Iran, southernKazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, northernmost Pakistan, ...

Eptesicus Lobatus
''Eptesicus lobatus'' is a species of bat of genus ''Eptesicus'' and family Vespertilionidae. A history of taxon All representative of genus ''Eptesicus'' from Eastern and Southern parts of Ukraine used to be referred to the species ''Eptesicus serotinus'' before, a new species was isolated from ''serotinus''. A species was described by Ukrainian zoologist (teriologist) Igor Zagorodniuk in 2009 as a new species for science based on the material from Luhansk Oblast. The taxonomy revision was conducted for the reason various mistakes in identification of ''Eptesicus'' species (as well as adjacent species, in particular Vespertili) occurred based on available identification guides. The primary Ukrainian name of the species (ukr. ''Пергач донецький'') is associated with the Siverskyi Donets river, where the most of the records of the species were known on a moment of its description. As it is conceived in the species description, its name will be remained geographic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Japanese Short-tailed Bat
The Japanese short-tailed bat (''Eptesicus japonensis'') is a species of bat belonging to the family Vespertilionidae. It is endemic to Japan where it is found at the base of the northern Japanese Alps, the Chichibu Mountains and Oze National Park, mostly at altitudes higher than 700 m.

Meridional Serotine
The meridional serotine (''Eptesicus isabellinus'') is a species of bat native to the Iberian Peninsula, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. Taxonomy and etymology The taxonomic status of ''Eptesicus isabellinus'' has been revised several times since its initial description. This species was initially described in 1840 by Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck. He placed it in the genus ''Vespertilio'', naming it ''Vespertilio isabellinus''. In 1887, French zoologist Fernand Lataste intimated that he believed that the meridional serotine was a subspecies of the serotine bat, ''Eptesicus serotinus'', per Harrison 1963. In 1963, David Harrison determined that morphologically, ''Eptesicus isabellinus'' was indistinguishable from ''Eptesicus serotinus'', and suggested that its name should be ''Eptesicus serotinus isabellinus'' to recognize it as a subspecies of the latter. In 2006, Ibáñez and others examined the mitochondrial DNA of several members of the European ''Eptesicus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
