    Extractions: The Mammals of Texas - Online Edition ORDER CHIROPTERA: BATS Chiroptera, "hand wing," alludes to the great elongation of the fingers that support the flying membrane. Among mammals, bats are unique in that they have true powers of flight; other mammals, such as flying squirrels, volplane or glide, always from a higher to a lower elevation. Bats as a group are crepuscular or nocturnal; their eyes are small and inefficient, but their ears are usually well developed. Experiments suggest that the middle and inner ear and high-frequency vocals are highly important in guiding bats in flight and in their aerial feeding activities. Some bats hibernate in winter; others migrate seasonally. Bats are nearly worldwide in distribution. The tropical regions are best suited for them, and there the greatest variety is found. The temperate regions are inhabited by fewer species; no bats have been recorded in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Thirty-two species of bats occur in Texas. In addition to the 32 species of bats living in Texas today, four others are known from fossil skeletal remains. One of these

    Extractions: search a-z list calendar news ... Mammals Minnesota Symbols Coloring Book Bats, like snakes, are poorly understood. As a result, these tiny winged mammals are feared by many. Much lore surrounding bats has been generated by tropical vampire bats which feed on the blood of livestock, wildlife, and occasionally sleeping humans. Of course, bats are a public health concern because they can carry rabies. But species found in Minnesota are very small, weighing from two-tenths of an ounce to slightly over one ounce. Insectivorous, they feed mostly on flying insects, including beetles, moths, and mosquitoes which they catch in their cupped tail membranes as they dart and weave through the nighttime air. Once an insect is caught, the bat transfers its prey to its mouth while in flight. Bats locate insects and dodge obstacles by echo-location. As they fly, they constantly emit supersonic cries. Their ears pick up echoes bouncing off objects. These echoes either guide bats toward prey or away from obstacles. Discovery of this unique principle led to development of sonar and radar by which boats and planes navigate, and fishermen locate schools of fish. The little brown myotis , our most common bat species, occurs over most of North America. Together with the

    Extractions: Links BATS Zooplankton Census This study of plankton diversity at the Bernuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site is part of an initiative to create an online atlas of marine diversity, the Ocean Biogeographic Information System ( OBIS ), a database of global marine animal and plant distributions. Planktonic communities comprise a wide diversity of organisms that form the basis of marine food webs. The zooplankton and micronekton provide a direct link between primary producers and higher trophic levels such as fishes, seabirds, and some marine mammals. Zooplankton contain representatives of nearly every animal group. There are two important reasons for a census of the diversity and abundance of the plankton. The first is the need to describe and understand patterns of distribution and abundance of organisms and to predict the impact of environmental change on those patterns. Second, to better understand their qualitative and quantitative role in the pelagic food web and the cycling of elements in the sea. We are developing a multi-species inventory of zooplankton and micronekton at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS) station, a 13-year, ongoing oceanographic time series situated in the western North Atlantic subtropical gyre, or

    Extractions: Unexplained "White Nose" Disease Killing Northeast Bats ALBANY, New York , January 31, 2008 (ENS) - State environmental officials and caving organizations are asking people not to enter caves or mines with bats until further notice to avoid the possible transfer of a mysterious new bat disease from cave to cave. Thousands of hibernating bats are dying in caves in New York and Vermont from unknown causes, prompting an investigation by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, DEC, as well as wildlife agencies and researchers around the nation. The most obvious symptom involved in the die-off is a white fungus encircling the noses of some, but not all, of the bats. Bat with white nose syndrome (Photo courtesy West Virginia Association for Cave Studies) Called "white nose syndrome," the fungus is believed to be associated with the problem, but it may not contribute to the actual cause of death. It appears that the impacted bats deplete their fat reserves months before they would normally emerge from hibernation, and die as a result. "What we've seen so far is unprecedented," said Alan Hicks, DEC's bat specialist. "Most bat researchers would agree that this is the gravest threat to bats they have ever seen."

    bats are mysterious creatures that have many myths about them. Find out what s true and what s not.  
    http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/caer/ce/eek/critter/mammal/bat.htm
    
    Extractions: Like most mammals, including people, bats have fur, grow up inside their moms, are born live, and nurse milk from their mothers' bodies. Bats belong to a special group of flying mammals called Chiroptera (Ki-ROP-ter-a). This word is Greek for "hand-wing." Bats actually fly with a modified hand. Many people still fear and dislike these winged mammals of the night. Several hundred years ago in Europe, bats were considered evil, dirty, and mysterious. These feelings were passed on through legends. Today we know that the many myths surrounding bats are false. But, because of these myths, some people still harm bats. In fact, because of human actions, many species have become endangered. Bats play a valuable role in the ecosystem. Worldwide, bats are the most important natural enemies of night-flying insects. In the tropics, bats pollinate flowers and disperse seeds. Bats are divided into two main groups, the mega-chiroptera and the micro-chiroptera. The mega-bats, about 150 species, are called fruit bats because many of them eat fruit, nectar, and pollen. They are also called flying foxes because they have big eyes for finding food and they have a face that looks somewhat like a fox.

    Extractions: INQUIRER STAFF WRITER Want to talk about a creature with an image problem? Consider the poor bat We all know about the creepy little rodents. They're dirty and vicious. They'll suck your blood, given half a chance, or get tangled up in your hair. They're blind, and prime carriers of rabies. Want to pinpoint the absolute nadir of bats', uh, popularity? Ask Merlin Tuttle - founder and executive director of Bat Conservation International (BCI) and considered by many to be the country's foremost authority on the furry mammals - and he's ready. "National magazines were running stories in the late '70s and early '80s with headlines like `Three Years of Terror' and `The Nightmare House.' A story in Austin, Texas, was headlined `Bat Colonies Sink Teeth Into City.' That had to be the worst." But look around now, and you'd have to be blind as a...well, pretty unobservant to miss the fact that bats are not only gaining respectability, the country is virtually going batty. A recent exhibit at the Franklin Institute, "Masters of the Night: The True Story of Bats," drew 200,000 people, making it one of the most popular events there ever.

    Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Mar. 5, 2008) See also: In a recent issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, scientists report on the discovery of six new bat species dating to around 35 million years ago, which sheds new light on the early evolution of bats. Fossil bats of Eocene age are rare in Africa. Only a few fragmentary remains from Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania and Tunisia were previously known. The discovery of six new kinds of bats illustrates the remarkably rich, and previously unsuspected, diversity of bats in Africa 37-34 million years ago. These discoveries provide important new information for understanding the evolution of modern bat families.
