Paranyctimene Tenax Marculus
'' Paranyctimene '' is a genus of bats in the family Pteropodidae. They are distributed in Indonesia Taxonomy The genus was proposed by George Henry Hamilton Tate in ''American Museum Novitates'' (1942), describing specimens obtained on the Archbold 1936-37 expedition to New Guinea. Resembling the genus '' Nyctimene'', the tube-nosed bats, the taxon was reduced to a subgenus of that group in 2001. However, the Mammal Species of the World demurred from this arrangement, pending analysis of the phylogeny of both groups, instead recognising the following taxa, *''Paranyctimene'' :* '' Paranyctimene raptor'' (Lesser tube-nosed fruit bat), the type, first proposed in 1942. :* ''Paranyctimene tenax'' Bergmans, 2001 (Steadfast tube-nosed fruit bat) ::* ''Paranyctimene tenax tenax '' Paranyctimene '' is a genus of bats in the family Pteropodidae.

George Henry Hamilton Tate
George Henry Hamilton Tate (April 30, 1894 – December 24, 1953) was a British-born American zoologist and botanist, who worked as a mammalogist for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. In his lifetime he wrote several books on subjects such as the South American mouse opossums and the mammals of the Pacific and East Asia. Biography He was born in London on April 30, 1894. He had a brother, Geoffrey Tate. In 1912 he migrated from Britain to New York City with his family. From 1912 to 1914 he worked as telegraph operator on Long Island. He then joined the British Army to fight in World War I. At the end of the war, he studied at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London, England without taking a degree. He then migrated back to the United States and became a field assistant in mammalogy at the American Museum of Natural History. In 1927 he completed his B.S. at Columbia University in Manhattan, and became a United States citizen. In Septemb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Paranyctimene Raptor
The lesser tube-nosed fruit bat or unstriped tube-nosed bat (''Paranyctimene raptor'') is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae found in West Papua, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Taxonomy First described by George H. H. Tate in 1942, the species was re-diagnosed when a sympatric In biology, two related species or populations are considered sympatric when they exist in the same geographic area and thus frequently encounter one another. An initially interbreeding population that splits into two or more distinct species sh ... species was described in 2001. The first description did not adequately exclude the new species, and specimens previously recorded as ''Paranyctimene raptor'' may have been misdiagnosed. The 2001 revision re-allocated specimens from the type locality, and did not recognise the taxon ''Paranyctimene'' except as a subgenus of '' Nyctimene''.

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Richard Archbold
Richard Archbold (April 9, 1907 – August 1, 1976) was an American zoologist and philanthropist. He was independently wealthy, being the grandson of the capitalist John Dustin Archbold. He was educated at private schools, and later attended classes at Columbia University though he never graduated. He used his share of his family's wealth first to sponsor a series of biological expeditions to New Guinea for the American Museum of Natural History, and later to establish, maintain and endow a biological research station in Florida. In 1929, Archbold joined the ranks of members of the Explorers Club in New York. Madagascar expedition In 1928 Archbold was invited to participate in a Franco-British-American zoological expedition to Madagascar (1929–1931), led by Jean Delacour, on which he was responsible for mammal collecting. The American component of this expedition was funded by his father, John F. Archbold, with the proviso that his son be included. It was on this expedition t ...

Nyctimene (genus)
''Nyctimene '' is a genus of bats in the Pteropodidae family. Commonly known as tube-nosed fruit bats, they are found in the central Philippines, eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the north-east coast of Australia. Taxonomy The genus was erected by Moritz Balthasar Borkhausen in 1797. The name ''Nyctimene'', derived from Ancient Greek, means 'night moon'. Description The facial features of the species are distinguished by projecting nostrils, rather than the simple features of most other megabats, the appearance of which has been likened to a frightened horse. Species The recognised taxa are named in the vernacular as tube-nosed fruit bats or tube-nosed bats, and includes the following * Broad-striped tube-nosed bat, ''Nyctimene aello'' * Common tube-nosed bat, ''Nyctimene albiventer'' * Pallas's tube-nosed bat, ''Nyctimene cephalotes'' * Dark tube-nosed bat, ''Nyctimene celaeno'' * Mountain tube-nosed bat, '' Nyctimene certans'' * Round-eared tube-nosed bat, '' Nyctim ...

Mammal Species Of The World
''Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference'' is a standard reference work in mammalogy giving descriptions and bibliographic data for the known species of mammals. It is now in its third edition, published in late 2005, which was edited by Don E. Wilson and DeeAnn M. Reeder. An online version is hosted by Bucknell University, from which the names of the species can be downloaded as a custom dictionary.

Paranyctimene Tenax
The steadfast tube-nosed fruit bat (''Paranyctimene tenax'') is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae found in West Papua, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. The species was first proposed as a subgeneric arrangement of '' Nyctimene'', published as ''Nyctimene'' (''Paranyctimene'') ''tenax''. The epithet ''tenax'', derived from the Latin for 'steadfast', was intended to describe the conservation work of Peter Nijhoff, whose retirement was announced when the new species was discovered. The subspecific epithet ''marculus'', derived from Latin, translates as 'little hammer' and the diminutive form of Marc Argeloo's name, a dedication to his collections of bats for the Amsterdam Zoological Museum. Two subspecies were recognised by Mammal Species of the World (2005), *''Paranyctimene'' :* '' Paranyctimene raptor'' (Lesser tube-nosed fruit bat), the type, first proposed in 1942. :* ''Paranyctimene tenax'' Bergmans, 2001 (Steadfast tube-nosed fruit bat) ::* ''Paranyctimene te ...
