▼ The plagiopatagiales proprii are an array of muscles hypothesized to modulate stiffness of the armwing membrane and prevent excessive billowing during flight in bats. Electromyographic (EMG) recordings have demonstrated these muscles are active during the downstroke of the wingbeat cycle, but their mechanical role remains uncertain. To improve our understanding of their function, we recorded high-speed videos of three Jamaican fruit bats (Artibeus jamaicensis) flying in a wing tunnel before and after temporary paralysis from nanoliter injections of diluted botulinum toxin A (Botox®) into the plagiopatagiales proprii. Measurements of membrane deflection and curvature were made from 3D time-resolved point cloud reconstructions, and kinematic parameters analyzed from three anatomical markers. We found that without activating muscles, bats were only capable of sustained flight in the presence of a headwind, which contrasts with predicted flight behavior. When provided a headwind and flying at comparable flight speeds, the temporal fluctuation in the membrane deformation, monitored at a representative point in the mid-armwing, increased after injections, particularly during the first third of downstroke. In addition, the variance in the spanwise camber of the wing increased and qualitatively resembles the control case at low flight speed. The Daniel Number, which we define as the ratio of dorsal surface area to projected wing and body area, provided a more complete quantification of wing membrane deflection and showed an increase in wing deflection at comparable flight speeds after injections. Following loss of muscle function, kinematic parameters, including wingbeat amplitude and flapping frequency changed modestly, but sweep angle decreased substantially; this contrasted with our expectation that bats would increase extension at wing joints to maintain membrane tension. These results together show that the plagiopatagiales modulate membrane deflection and, thus, implicitly modulate stiffness, but also that, under certain circumstances, A. jamaicensis can alter kinematics to retain flying capability without functioning plagiopatagiales.

M.Sc.

Members of the Suborder Microchiroptera consume large numbers of insects. When large enough numbers of these bats are present in agricultural areas, the need for insecticides can be reduced significantly. The ZZ2 Tomato Farms in Mooketsi and the Secrabje Farm in Waterpoort, in the Limpopo Province were chosen as study sites. Although ZZ2 focuses on the production of tomatoes, both farms produce a variety of vegetables and fruit. These farms were chosen because the management of both have shown a commitment to conservation and attempt to minimise their impact on the environment. Bat species indigenous to the study areas were captured by means of mist nets for identification purposes. Basic morphological data of captured specimens were collected and recorded. Their roosting behaviour and preferences were studied by visiting diurnal roosts in the two study sites. Microclimatic measurements were taken in roosts occupied by Chaerephon pumilus, Mops condylurus and Taedarida aegyptiaca. Microclimatic measurements were also done in bat houses designed for the housing of bats in agricultural areas. Results suggest that other factors, additional to temperature and relative humidity, contribute to the success and probability of bat house occupancy by bats. Existing roosts in man-made structures such as roofs, can successfully be enhanced to stimulate increase in colony size. Bat activities were determined in agricultural areas and adjacent natural habitats by means of recordings of the echolocation calls of the different bat Families. These were compared to the occurrence of nocturnal flying insect orders that were captured in light traps at the same localities. Of the bat species studied, a positive correlation between increased bat activity and higher number of insects, including pest species, was found. It seems as if the Molossidae has the greatest potential to be utilised in the control of insect pests of agricultural areas in the Limpopo of the bat species studied. A holistic approach favouring insectivorous bats on farms is recommended. This can be done i.a. through the conservation of abundant areas of natural vegetation adjacent to the agricultural areas which would provide foraging for bats during winter, periods of drought or when the lands lie fallow. The excessive and injudicious use of insecticides, which has a negative effect on bats, counteracts the beneficial and cheap alternative of natural insect pest control provided by insectivorous bats.

▼ Many Missouri land management agencies are restoring savannas and woodlands using prescribed fire and forest thinning, and information is needed on how wildlife species respond to these management activities. Our objectives were to 1) determine the relationship of temporal and environmental factors to the probability of detection (p), and 2) determine how site occupancy (Ψ) varies among savannas, woodlands, and forests as a function of vegetation structure and management history for 5 common bat species in the Missouri Ozark region: big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis), northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), evening bat (Nycticeius humeralis), and tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). We identified sites that were actively managed for savanna and woodland conditions, and control areas on similar landforms that had no recent management and had succeeded to more closed canopy forest. We used Anabat detectors to survey bats during August 2010, May to July 2011, and May to June 2012. We fit single-season occupancy models for each species. We evaluated a priori hypotheses in an information theoretic approach by first evaluating factors affecting p and then evaluating support for site occupancy models that included habitat and landscape effects. The probability of detecting bat species with acoustic detectors varied by species and was related to temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, tree density, Julian date, distance to water, and visit. Generally, higher temperatures, lower humidity, lower tree density, and later dates in the summer resulted in higher p for several bat species in the Missouri Ozark Highlands. The probability a site was occupied by foraging bats varied among species as a function of percent forest and urban land cover, stand stocking, distance to water and roads, number of fires in the last 10 years, and vegetative composition. It is important to consider the effects on p when conducting acoustic surveys of bats. In general, vegetativ Advisors/Committee Members: Thompson, Frank R. (Frank Richard) (advisor).

▼ With over 1,300 known species, the order Chiroptera makes up about 20 percent of all mammalian species. Due to its sub-tropical climate, the northern part of Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa is believed to have the highest bat species richness in the country. However, the last comprehensive assessment of bat diversity in the region was conducted more than 30 years ago. In 2017 and 2018, I undertook the first detailed re-assessment of the bat communities of the northern KNP since the early 1980’s. I used both live-capture (harp traps and mist-netting) and acoustic technology (SM2 and SM4 Songmeters, Wildlife Acoustics. MA, USA) to sample bats at 24 sites across the northern region of KNP. Through live-capture (336 trapping hours), 155 bats representing 13 species from five families were recorded including Cloetis pervicali, which has never been recorded within the borders of the KNP before. The echolocation calls of all captured bats were recorded to develop a site-specific call reference library that was used (in combination with existing reference calls) as a guide for the identification of bat calls recorded using the acoustic detectors set across 24 sites (278 sampling nights). The acoustic monitoring identified 22 species from six families and two unknown sets of calls. Compared to the historical data of 40 documented species (collected over a 30-year period), the current survey (27 species) resulted in a lower species richness. However, this is likely due to the lower overall sampling effort during my survey. By re-surveying the bats of northern KNP, I have contributed towards an overall bat species inventory for this region. In addition, I have generated an important baseline dataset for the future monitoring of bat diversity across the KNP. Due to bats being important biological indicators, increased research on the various species and their behaviours is essential for improving our understanding of climate change effects as well as the overall health of the environment, especially in protected areas.

▼ Time of peak bat activity during the night differs among bat species. Foraging strategies may differ among species due to prey availability, habitat availability, and/or interactions between species. Habitat availability is altered in urban areas, which may affect insect prey availability and interspecies interactions. Monitoring changes in bat diversity and behavior associated with habitat conversion is important, but some traditional bat monitoring methods may not be appropriate for all study sites. Acoustic monitoring techniques, including mobile monitoring using driving transects, may be good alternatives to study nightly activity in urban bat populations. Acoustic monitoring is an important component of many monitoring programs including the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). Driving transects that are approximately 25 to 48 kilometers long within 100 km2 grid cells are used by NABat, but choosing appropriate transect routes can be difficult in urban areas. Shorter transects could be used to alleviate sampling issues, but a modified protocol may be less effective at sampling some bat species. My objectives were to use mobile acoustic monitoring to determine when bat species are active in a single night in urban and non-urban sites, if nightly bat activity patterns in urban sites differ from nightly bat activity patterns in non-urban sites, and whether sampling using a modified mobile acoustic monitoring protocol with reduced transect lengths is effective compared to the standardized NABat protocol. I recorded bat echolocation calls using Anabat acoustic detectors while driving transects through the night at five sites (three “urban” and two “non-urban”) located in the Piedmont region of north-central North Carolina from May through August 2016. Transects were driven three times per night in each site starting 45 minutes, 180 minutes, and 300 minutes after sunset using a modified NABat protocol with 6 “short” transects (about 3.2 km long each). An additional “long” transect (about 25 km long, using NABat protocol) was sampled in 4 sites (two of the urban sites and both non-urban sites) starting 45 minutes after sunset. Recorded echolocation call sequences were analyzed manually using AnalookW and automatically using Bat Call Identification and Echoclass software. Total bat activity and Lasiurus borealis activity was decreased later in the night in urban sites. There were also fewer Eptesicus fuscus, Lasionycteris noctivagans, and Nycticeius humeralis calls on the latest time period. There were more E. fuscus, L. noctivagans, and Tadarida brasiliensis calls and fewer L. borealis, N. humeralis, and Perimyotis subflavus calls in urban sites than non-urban sites. Fewer short transects were needed to match the detection probability on long transects for E. fuscus, L. borealis, and P. subflavus, while more short transects were needed for L. noctivagans, N. humeralis, and T. brasiliensis. These results suggest that bats in urban areas partition time differently, which is important to consider as urbanization… Advisors/Committee Members: Matina Kalcounis-Rueppell (advisor).

▼ Here we present our efforts to develop a model system that is suitable for laboratory experiments addressing Chiropteran development, genetics and evolution. The bat, Myotis lucifugus was selected as a model organism to study Chiropteran biology. To build a model system, Myotis lucifugus specimens were collected from several locations across the United States. From the collected specimens, embryos and adult tissues were used to produce an assessment of embryonic development, primary cell cultures, and various genetic libraries. These resources were then used to investigate the Chiropteran HoxD complex. The HoxD 13 genomic locus was cloned and sequenced to derive a protein coding sequence, which showed strong conservation with the Human and mouse HOXD 13 proteins. HoxD 13 expression, however, was expanded in the Myotis lucifugus forelimb when compared to mouse. We therefore investigated the regulation of the HoxD complex by cloning and sequencing two Chiropteran global control regions (GCR) belonging to Myotis lucifugus and Rhinolophus ferrumequinum. The two Chiropteran GCRs were used in a series of unbiased triangulation alignments, looking for sequence changes that were shared between the two bat species but not found in Human or mouse GCRs. A number of exclusive Chiropteran changes were found regarding sequence order, large insertions, large deletions and small nucleotide changes. The GCR was finally examined in a mouse transgenic assay, to determine its activity domains. As compared with the previously reported Human GCR activity assay, we found new Chiropteran GCR activity domains in the stylopod and zeugopod that correlate with the expansion of HoxD 13 in the Chiropteran forelimb. Previously reported domains in the fore- and midbrains were absent, which also correlate with a mutation in a highly conserved tetrapod specific GCR sequence. In light of the proposed hypothesis that the highly clustered structure of Hox genes in tetrapods acts as a constraint against evolution in the absence of duplication events, our results suggest that the Hox genes are evolving in a circuitous route in the absence of duplications while respecting ancestral constraints.

Tyrimai buvo atlikti pietvakarių Lenkijoje, Oderio upės slėnyje Kwiatkowice (Kviatkovice) ir Rzeczyca (Žečica) apylinkėse, pietvakarių Lenkijoje, Žemutinės Silezijos vaivadijoje (Dolnośląskie województwo) 2010 m. Tyrimams pasirinktos penkios vietos: upės vagos šiaurės-pietų kryptis ir vakarų-rytų kryptis,lapuočių miško proskyna, pamiškė, kultūrinė pieva. Tyrimai buvo atlikti naudojant bioakustinį, dviejų detektorių sistemos metodą (Jarzembowski, 2003). Oderio upės slėnyje kiekviename punkte buvo pastatyta po du detektorius. Atstumas tarp detektorių – 10 m, detektoriai nukreipti 45º kampu į viršų, atstumas virš žemės – 2 m. Detektorių nukreipimas 45º kampu į viršų leidžia registruoti daugiau šikšnosparnių, kurie skrenda ir arti vandens, ir žymiai aukščiau. Rūšių apibudinimui naudojama Ahlen (1981) ir Barataud (1996, 2006) metodika. Oderio upės slėnio biotopuose aptiktos aštuonios šikšnosparnių rūšys: šikšniukas mažylis, šikšniukas nykštukas, Natuzijaus šikšniukas, rudasis nakviša, vandeninis pelėausis, kūdrinis pelėausis, Branto pelėausis, vėlyvasis šikšnys. Nustatyta, kad vandeninis pelėausis, šikšniukas mažylis, Natuzijaus šikšniukas naudojasi upės vaga kaip migracijos koridoriumi, bet plačiau slėniu nemigruoja. Rudojo nakvišos nekryptingų perskridimų ir maitinimosi signalų visuose biotopuose buvo daug, tai gali reikšti, kad jis tik maitinasi visuose upės slėnio biotopuose.

We studied migration of bats along Odra river valley in SW Poland for four nights in September 2010. We carried out all-night acoustical observations of bats flying at the river North-Soutth and East-West directions segments, in the forest, grassland and on the outer wood. The direction on bats’ movements were determined on the basis of echolocation sequences order recorded by two frequency division ultrasound detectors. We noted activity for eight species: Myotis daubentonii, M. dasycneme, M. brandti, Nyctalus noctula, Pipistrellus nathusii, P. pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus, Eptesicus serotinus. Our results show that Myotis daubentonii, Pipistrellus nathusii, P. pygmaeus use only the river as the migration corridor, but not all valley of the river. Eptesicus serotinus and P. pipistrellus directional flyings were detected in the forest, but these data were unsufficient to relate the migratory way and the valley of the river. The great amount of undirectional flyings and nutrition signals of Nyctalus noctula in all places shows that this species uses all the valley for nutrition. Our results show that the activities of different bats species for twenty four hours are different at the river. The greatest counts of sequencies for Myotis daubentonii, Nyctalus noctula were registered in the evening: Myotis daubentonii – at 8 p.m., and Nyctalus noctula – at 7 p.m. Activities of Pipistrelus pygmaeus and Pipistrellus nathusii were similar during all night time.

▼ LH gonadotropes are successfully identified in the anterior pituitary of Minioptems schreibersii and Rhinolophus capensis, using immunogold labelling at the light and electron microscopy level. The gonadotropes are oval to polygonal in shape and possess numerous small secretory granules, which contain LH throughout the year. Their distribution is similar in both species, although the abundance varies slightly between species and sexes. Seasonal changes are detected in gonadotrope ultrastructure, pituitary LH levels, and plasma hormone levels, and activity pattern of LH gonadotropes generally coincide with reproductive activity in both bat species. In female M. schreibersii gonadotrope activity, pituitary LH, and plasma LH levels coincide with development, implantation and gestation. During the delayed implantation gonadotropes are inactive and and high follicular period of plasma LH levels are low, coinciding with corpus luteum inactivity and low plasma progesterone levels. Implantation coincides with increased activity of the gonadotrope activity, increased plasma LH levels, reactivation of the corpus luteum and elevated plasma progesterone levels. Activation of LH gonadotropes towards the end of hibernation may be initiated by the winter solstice, which marks the change to increasing daylength. In female R capensis gonadotrope activity and high pituitary and plasma LH levels occur towards the end of follicular development. During hibernation gonadotrope activity and plasma LH levels decrease. Ovulation coincides with increasing gonadotrope activity (which follows the winter solstice), although a preovulatory peak in plasma LH is not detected. In male M. schreibersii and R. capensis, gonadotrope activity and high plasma LH and testosterone levels coincide with spermatogenesis, except during a period of reproductive inactivity in spring in male M. schreibersii, where gonadotropes appear active and plasma LH and testosterone levels are high. The reason for this apparent activity is not known. Male sperm storage during hibernation in male R. capensis coincides with low gonadotrope activity and low plasma LH and testosterone levels. Factors initiating gonadotrope activity and hence spermatogenesis are probably decreasing daylength (summer solstice) in M. schreibersii and increasing ambient temperatures and food abundance (following the hibernation period) in R.capensis.

▼ Many conservation strategies for bats focus on supporting or enhancing their roosting and foraging needs. With increasing urbanization and loss of natural habitat, many species have adapted to roost in anthropogenic structures, resulting in increased human-wildlife conflict. Bat boxes can provide alternate housing for bats displaced due to exclusions from anthropogenic structures or loss of natural roosts. Researchers and conservationists have begun to investigate the variety of cues bats use to locate and select possible roost locations, such as visual, olfactory or auditory cues. In this study, I describe the call structure of social calls emitted by Yuma myotis (Myotis yumanensis) at roost sites. I investigated if free-ranging Yuma myotis react to social calls of conspecifics and other bat species at roost sites. I also evaluated the effects of age, sex and reproductive status on behavioral responses to social calls. In the summers of 2013 and 2014, I recorded calls from Yuma myotis using bat detectors mounted outside of roost exits. The recorded social calls divided into two distinct types that I could isolate and identify. Type 1 calls consist of a single frequency modulation (FM) syllable, while Type 2 calls consist of a descending FM sweep, finishing on a hook-shaped component. I broadcast social call and echolocation calls of Yuma myotis and Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana) from newly erected artificial roost sites. Bat activity was significantly higher during playbacks of myotis social calls compared to other playback treatments or silent control nights. Additionally, bat activity remained elevated after playback treatments, indicating a latent effect of playbacks at roosting sites. To test individual responses, bats were placed in a field flight tent and exposed to the same broadcast calls used in the field experiment. Individuals in a flight cage displayed no significant response to social calls, regardless of age, sex or reproductive status. This study provides the first description of social calls in a North American myotis species and suggests that understanding the social relationships of bats at roosting and foraging sites may be useful for informing conservation and management decisions.

▼ How populations diverge and form new species in the face of gene flow is a key question in evolutionary biology. Recent research suggests this may be possible where the same traits affect the ecological niche and are involved in assortative mating, and that a small number of genes could be involved in driving speciation in these cases. Echolocation call frequency in bats has roles in ecology and social communication. Bats using HDC echolocation have hearing tuned to specific frequencies, with frequency shifts impacting ecological niche and mate recognition, meaning this is a good candidate trait to drive speciation. HDC echolocation has evolved independently in two highly divergent groups of bats, providing a unique opportunity to study the molecular basis of a trait potentially driving speciation. I have combined selection testing of specific loci with genomewide divergence scans to test hypotheses concerning the evolution of HDC echolocation. Members of the yangochiropteran genus Pteronotus use low duty-cycle echolocation, except for the subgenus Phyllodia. Selection tests on coding sequence data revealed loci associated with hearing under positive selection in Phyllodia and in Pteronotus, including eleven shared with a yinpterochiropteran HDC echolocator, Rhinolophus sinicus. Three size and acoustic morphs of Rhinolophus philippinensis exist in sympatry on Buton Island. Phylogenetic reconstructions revealed population structure between the morphs, though with conflicting topologies based on mitochondrial and nuclear data. Species delimitation identified at least two separate taxa. Genomewide scans of divergence indicated low background FST between the morphs, punctuated with highly diverged islands featuring an overrepresentation of genes associated with body size and hearing. 3 This thesis represents the first genome-wide investigation of HDC echolocation, highlighting candidate genes related to this trait. It additionally describes a rarely observed mammalian ecological speciation, providing support for the claim that species designated R. philippinensis represent a complex across their range.
