Chiroptera
Bats are mammals of the Order (biology), order Chiroptera.''cheir'', "hand" and πτερόν''pteron'', "wing". With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more agile in flight than most birds, Bat flight, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin skin, membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and arguably the smallest extant mammal, is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is in length, across the wings and in mass. The largest bats are the Flying fox#Physical characteristics, flying foxes, with the giant golden-crowned flying fox, ''Acerodon jubatus'', reaching a weight of and having a wingspan of . The second largest order of mammals after rodents, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,400 species. These were traditionally divided into two suborders: the largely fruit-eating megabats, and the Animal echolocation, echolocating microbats. But more r ...

Zootaxa
''Zootaxa'' is a peer-reviewed scientific mega journal for animal taxonomists. It is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland, New Zealand). The journal was established by Zhi-Qiang Zhang in 2001 and new issues are published multiple times a week. From 2001 to 2020, more than 60,000 new species have been described in the journal accounting for around 25% of all new taxa indexed in The Zoological Record in the last few years. Print and online versions are available. Temporary suspension from JCR The journal exhibited high levels of self-citation and its journal impact factor of 2019 was suspended from ''Journal Citation Reports'' in 2020, a sanction which hit 34 journals in total. Biologist Ross Mounce noted that high levels of self-citation may be inevitable for a journal which publishes a large share of new species classification. Later that year this decision was reversed and it was admitted that levels of self-citation are appropriate considering the large proportion of papers f ...

Plecotus Strelkovi
Strelkov's long-eared bat (''Plecotus strelkovi'') is a species of Vespertilionidae, vesper bat found in mountainous regions of Central Asia. Taxonomy It was described in 2006 based on specimens previously classified without justification as Ward's long-eared bat (''P. wardi'') and later the grey long-eared bat (''P. austriacus''). However, genetic and morphological evidence confirmed that these populations represented a distinct, previously undescribed species, and it was described as ''Plecotus strelkovi''. Phylogenetic evidence supports it being a Sister group, sister species to a group comprising Christie's long-eared bat (''P. christii''), the Mediterranean long-eared bat (''P. kolombatovici''), and the grey long-eared bat (''P. austriacus''). It is accepted as a distinct species by the American Society of Mammalogists, the IUCN Red List, and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System, ITIS. The species is named in honor of Russian mammalogist Petr Petrovich Strelkov. D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
