New Alphacoronavirus in Mystacina tuberculata Bats, New Zealand
Because of recent interest in bats as reservoirs of emerging diseases, we investigated the presence of viruses in Mystacina tuberculata bats in New Zealand. A novel alphacoronavirus sequence was detected in guano from roosts of M. tuberculata bats in pristine indigenous forest on a remote offshore island (Codfish Island).
متن کاملThe New Zealand short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata
(Chiroptera: Mystacinidae) has been of great interest to biologists (see Lloyd, 2001 for a review). It is one of only two extant indigenous mammals in New Zealand, the other being the long-tailed bat Chalinolobus tuberculatus (O’Donnell, 2001). It therefore evolved in the absence of small terrestrial mammals and, until recent introductions of predators by humans, may have been exposed to few pr...
متن کاملThe effect of recording situation on the echolocation calls of the New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata Gray)
Using a broad-band recording system (150 Hz-100 kHz) the echolocation calls of the lesser short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata) were recorded under three very different situations: freeflying, flying within a flight cage, and on release from the hand. Calls of bats landing and feeding on a platform in Wellington Zoo were also recorded. Both the lowest frequency and frequency of peak amplitud...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Non-native pollen found in short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata) guano from the central North Island
We analysed pollen in short-tailed bat guano samples from Rangataua Forest and from guano and pollen found in bat holding bags used in the Kaimanawa Range, central North Island. Fifty seven percent of the pollen from Rangataua was from a previously unrecorded source and was tentatively identified as Trachycarpus fortunei (Chinese windmill palm). The significant remaining pollen was identified a...
متن کاملTerrestrial locomotion of the New Zealand short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata and the common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus.
Bats (Chiroptera) are generally awkward crawlers, but the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) and the New Zealand short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata) have independently evolved the ability to manoeuvre well on the ground. In this study we describe the kinematics of locomotion in both species, and the kinetics of locomotion in M. tuberculata. We sought to determine whether these bats mov...
