Vesper Bat
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] |
Kachin Woolly Bat
The Kachin woolly bat (''Kerivoula kachinensis'') is a species of bat found in Southeast Asia. Taxonomy and etymology It was initially described as a new species in 2004. Its species name "''kachinensis''" is derived from Kachin State—the state in Myanmar where it was first documented. Description It is a relatively large member of its genus, with a forearm length of . Individuals weigh approximately . Its fur is grayish-brown. Its ears are large and hairless. The tragus is long and narrow, at . Its tail is long. Its skull has a flattened appearance. Its dental formula is for a total of 38 teeth. Biology and ecology It is nocturnal, roosting during the day and foraging at night. The state of its flattened skull led some researchers to hypothesize that during the day it roosts in small, constricted spaces. Range and habitat It was first documented in Myanmar in 2004, but its range was quickly expanded to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand after documentation in 2 ...

Bismarck's Trumpet-eared Bat
The Bismarck trumpet-eared bat (''Kerivoula myrella''), also known as the Manus Island woolly bat, is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in subtropical or tropical dry forests. Taxonomy The Bismarck trumpet-eared bat was described as a new species in 1914 by British mammalogist Oldfield Thomas. The holotype had been collected on Manus Island, which is part of the Bismarck Archipelago. Description Overall, the Bismarck trumpet-eared bat is similar in appearance to Hardwicke's woolly bat. It has a forearm length of . Biology and ecology It is an echolocating species with frequency modulation of its calls. The calls are broadband, with very slight curvature of the downward sweep of call frequencies. Its echolocation calls have low energy, meaning that it is unlikely to be detected by acoustic detectors unless it passes close to the device's microphone. Range and habitat It is found in Papua New Guinea, though its range may also include Indonesi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Papillose Woolly Bat
The papillose woolly bat (''Kerivoula papillosa'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Appearance The fur is typically dark brown on top, and lighter brown on the bottom. White hair is commonly found on the foot as well. This species has a unique interfemoral membrane. This membrane is hairless and is covered with small, soft, wart-like projections. The teeth are pointed and specialized for crushing the exoskeletons of insects. Ecology Tree hollows are used for roosts, and generally have between 1 and 14 bats inhabiting them. The habitats inhabited are lowland mixed deciduous forests In the fields of horticulture and Botany, the term ''deciduous'' () means "falling off at maturity" and "tending to fall off", in reference to trees and shrubs that seasonally shed leaves, usually in the autumn; to the shedding of petals, ... in the lower Asian peninsula.Simmons, N.B.

Spurrell's Woolly Bat
Spurrell's woolly bat (''Kerivoula phalaena'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae named after Herbert George Flaxman Spurrell. It is found in Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial f ...s.
