Local adaptations can determine the potential of populations to respond to environmental
changes, yet adaptive genetic variation is commonly ignored in models forecasting species …

Recently, many new (extant) mammal species have been named, mostly by raising
subspecies to species rank. This is primarily a consequence of the phylogenetic species …

A complete list of bat records available from Iran was compiled from literature and from new
records, based on field studies and examination of museum specimens. The record review …

During the last few decades, bat lyssaviruses have become the topic of intensive molecular
and epidemiological investigations. Since ancient times, rhabdoviruses have caused fatal …

New records of 18 bat species from Tunisia are reported; these include Rhinolophus
ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. euryale, R. mehelyi, R. blasii, Asellia tridens …

The rapid diversification of Myotis bats into more than 100 species is one of the most
extensive mammalian radiations available for study. Efforts to understand relationships …

Background Temperate winters produce extreme energetic challenges for small
insectivorous mammals. Some bat species inhabiting locations with mild temperate winters …

The Myotis nattereri species complex consists of an entangled group of Western Palaearctic
bats characterized by fringing hairs along the rear edge of their uropatagium. Some …

Background Bat-borne virus surveillance is necessary for determining inter-species
transmission risks and is important due to the wide-range of bat species which may harbour …

Identification of intraspecific conservation units and incorporating the distribution of genetic
diversity into management plans are crucial requirements for assessing effective protection …
