Abstract:
We constructed DNA-hybridisation matrices comparing 18 genera of Megachiroptera and an outgroup microchiropteran, and eight species of Pteropus and two related genera. Three species each of Megachiroptera and Microchiroptera, two of Primates, and an outgroup armadillo were compared in another matrix; additional representatives of other mammalian orders figured in a further set of experiments. Among the megachiropterans examined, Nyctimene and Paranyctimene comprise the sister-group to other pteropodids. Of the 'macroglossines', only Macroglossus and Syconycteris are associated apart from typical pteropodines, while the four remaining nectar-feeders (Eonycteris, Megaloglossus, Melonycteris, Notopteris) are independently linked with non-nectar-feeding clades. Thus, Megaloglossus is the nearest relative of Lissonycteris, with Epomophorus and Rousettus successive sister-groups to both, while Eonycteris is the sister of all four; Melonycteris and Pteralopex form a trichotomy with the closely related Acerodon and Pteropus, and Notopteris is the sister-taxon to all four. It therefore appears that anatomical specialisations for nectar- and pollen-feeding evolved (or were lost) several times within Pteropodidae. Cynopterus and Dobsonia represent additional clades within the Pteropodinae, with which Thoopterus and Aproteles are respectively paired. Comparisons among species of Pteropus and related genera suggest that Acerodon may be congeneric with Pteropus, but that Pteralopex clearly is not. The ordinal-level matrices support bat monophyly: no order tested is closer to either of the chiropteran suborders than they are to each other, and bats are separated from Primates by at least two nodes. On the basis of previous rate determinations for mammals, we estimate that the African grouping (Epomophorus, Megaloglossus, Lissonycteris) is mid-Miocene in origin, that the two major pteropodid subfamilies (Nyctimeninae and Pteropodinae, including 'Macroglossinae') separated in the Early Miocene, and that the divergence of chiropteran suborders dates from the latest Cretaceous or earliest Palaeocene. Arrangement of genera within Pteropodidae supports the family's Australo-Pacific or south-east Asian origin.

Abstract:
Pteropodidae and Hipposideridae are 2 of the 9 chiropteran families that occur on Madagascar. Despite major advancements in the systematic study of the island's bat fauna, few karyotypic data exist for endemic species. We utilized G- and C-banding in combination with chromosome painting with Myotismyotis probes to establish a genome-wide homology among Malagasy species belonging to the families Pteropodidae (Pteropus rufus 2n = 38; Rousettus madagascariensis, 2n = 36), Hipposideridae (Hipposideros commersoni s.s., 2n = 52), and a single South African representative of the Rhinolophidae (Rhinolophus clivosus, 2n = 58). Painting probes of M. myotis detected 26, 28, 28, and 29 regions of homology in R. madagascariensis, P. rufus, H. commersoni s.s, and R. clivosus, respectively. Translocations, pericentric inversions, and heterochromatin additions were responsible for karyotypic differences amongst the Malagasy pteropodids. Comparative chromosome painting revealed a novel pericentric inversion on P. rufus chromosome 4. Chromosomal characters suggest a close evolutionary relationship between Rousettus and Pteropus. H. commersoni s.s. shared several chromosomal characters with extralimital congeners but did not exhibit 2 chromosomal synapomorphies proposed for Hipposideridae. This study provides further insight into the ancestral karyotypes of pteropodid and hipposiderid bats and corroborates certain molecular phylogenetic hypotheses.

Abstract:
Despite being a group of particular interest in considering relationships between genome size and metabolic parameters, bats have not been well studied from this perspective. This study presents new estimates for 121 “microbat” species from 12 families and complements a previous study on members of the family Pteropodidae (“megabats”). The results confirm that diversity in genome size in bats is very limited even compared with other mammals, varying approximately 2-fold from 1.63 pg in Lophostoma carrikeri to 3.17 pg in Rhinopoma hardwickii and averaging only 2.35 pg ± 0.02 SE (versus 3.5 pg overall for mammals). However, contrary to some other vertebrate groups, and perhaps owing to the narrow range observed, genome size correlations were not apparent with any chromosomal, physiological, flight-related, developmental, or ecological characteristics within the order Chiroptera. Genome size is positively correlated with measures of body size in bats, though the strength of the relationships differs between pteropodids (“megabats”) and nonpteropodids (“microbats”).

Abstract:
Diverse paramyxoviruses have coevolved with their bat hosts, including fruit bats such as flying foxes (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae). Several of these viruses are zoonotic, but the diversity and distribution of Paramyxoviridae are poorly understood. We screened pooled feces samples from three Pteropus vampyrus colonies and assayed tissues, rectal swabs, and oral swabs from 95 individuals of 23 pteropodid species sampled at 17 sites across the Indonesian archipelago with a conventional paramyxovirus PCR; all tested negative. Samples from 43 individuals were screened with next generation sequencing (NGS), and a single Pteropus vampyrus collected near Flores had Tioman virus sequencing reads. Tioman virus is a bat-borne virus in the genus Pararubulavirus with prior evidence of spillover to humans. This work expands the known range of Tioman virus, and it is likely that this isolated colony likely has sustained intergenerational transmission over a long period.

Abstract:
The tongues of six species of Australian megachiropterans were studied macroscopically and microscopically to observe whether there were any morphological characteristics correlating with their foraging and feeding behaviour. Tongues varied from being extensible and brush-like (with long hair-like papillae) in Syconycteris australis, to club-like (with very few types of papillae) in Nyctimene robinsoni, to long-pointed (possessing several types of surface papillae) in the Pteropus species. The morphology of the tongue of S. australis and the Pteropus species was similar to that of nectar-feeding birds, marsupials and other mammals. N. robinsoni possessed a tongue highly structured for processing the fruit on which it feeds, whilst the tongue of the S. australis and P. scapulatus was highly structured for a diet predominantly made up of nectar. Although the surface papillae were similar among P. poliocephalus, P. alecto and P. conspicillatus, the shape of the tongue varied considerably, suggesting that there may be subtle differences between individual feeding strategies. The morphology of the tongues in this study, combined with field observations, suggest that many megachiropterans are able to consume different food types when their preferred food source is unavailable. In addition, the structure of tongue and its papillae support the role of megachiropterans in both pollination and seed dispersal.

Abstract:
The aim of this project was to investigate the ecology of fruit bats within an area of old growth lowland dipterocarp forest in Peninsular Malaysia, with particular reference to Balionycteris maculata. Food particle size and crop size were two important factors that influenced diet choice and the partitioning of food resources throughout the fruit bat community at Kuala Lompat (Krau Wildlife Reserve, Pahang). Balionycteris maculata was the only species that fed regularly on the small, low-density fruits of understorey trees. Because they exploit food resources that are locally available throughout the year, male B. maculata are able to divide their nightly activity time between foraging and roost defence. Hence this species has developed a harem-based polygynous mating system, in which the roost cavity represents a critical resource for the recruitment of females. The roost cavities occupied by B. maculata were found within a variety of forest structures, including ant nests, termite nests, and epiphyte root masses. The consistent shape and positioning of these roost cavities, along with a single observation of cavity enlargement, indicate that B. maculata plays an active role in their creation. Balionycteris maculata has a polyoestrous reproductive cycle and gives birth to up to two litters per year. Although lactating females were captured throughout the year, the highest incidence of lactation was recorded between May and November. This period coincided approximately with the fruiting season of a number of large-seeded non-pioneer food plant species. Hence the reproductive timing of this species may have evolved in response to seasonal variation in the quantity and/or nutritional quality of available food resources. A botanical survey of one hectare of old growth forest revealed that 14% of trees (> 15 cm g.b.h.) were at least partially dependent upon fruit bats for pollination and/or seed dispersal. Hence fruit bats are likely to play a significant role in maintaining the biological diversity of Malaysian forests. Since several fruit bat species are strongly associated with old growth forest, the greatest threat to their survival comes from habitat destruction and agricultural expansion. The Krau Wildlife Reserve, and other protected areas in Malaysia, are therefore of critical importance for the long-term conservation of these species.

Abstract:
La sous-famille Epomophorinae comprend 24 espèces de chauves-souris frugivores distribuées en Afrique subsaharienne. Parmi elles, trois espèces ont été identifiées comme réservoirs du virus Ebola : Epomops franqueti, Hypsignathus monstrosus et Myonycteris torquata. Les objectifs de cette thèse étaient de faciliter l’identification des chauves-souris par l’approche des codes-barres moléculaires (Barcode), de mieux comprendre leur évolution, avec un intérêt tout particulier pour la positon phylogénétique des taxons étudiés en virologie, et de tester la structuration géographique des espèces. Au cours de ce travail, deux gènes mitochondriaux (Cytb et CO1) ont été séquencés pour 1142 spécimens. L’analyse de ces données et la comparaison avec le signal nucléaire ont révélé que les codes-barres mitochondriaux ne sont pas efficaces pour distinguer les huit espèces actuellement reconnues dans le complexe Epomophorus / Epomops dobsonii / Micropteropus. Ils permettent cependant de caractériser les 18 autres espèces d’Epomophorinae, ainsi que plusieurs sous-espèces. Une reconstruction phylogénétique reposant sur 13 gènes (11029 nt) et un échantillonnage taxonomique comprenant 47 spécimens a mis en évidence plusieurs clades robustes et fiables, ce qui a permis de proposer une nouvelle classification. Dans sa nouvelle définition, la sous-famille Epomophorinae contient six tribus (Epomophorini, Myonycterini, Plerotini, Rousettini, Scotonycterini et Stenonycterini). Des changements taxonomiques sont décrits dans la plupart des genres. L’espèce Myonycteris leptodon est réhabilitée et une nouvelle espèce du genre Megaloglossus est décrite en Afrique de l’Ouest. Les analyses phylogéographiques ont révélé que la plupart des espèces présentaient une forte structuration entre l’Afrique de l’Ouest et l’Afrique centrale, à l’exception de trois espèces possédant une meilleure capacité de dispersion : Hypsignathus monstrosus, grâce à sa grande taille ; Micropteropus pusillus et Nanonycteris veldkampii, en raison de leur adaptation à la savane. Cette étude montre que les espèces réservoirs du virus Ebola ont évolué différemment face aux changements climatiques du Plio-Pléistocène
The subfamily Epomophorinae includes 24 fruit bat species distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. Among them, three species have been identified as reservoir host of Ebola virus: Epomops franqueti, Hypsignathus monstrosus and Myonycteris torquata. The main aims of the PhD thesis were to apply the DNA barcode approach for identifying the species of fruit bats, to understand their evolutionary history, with a special emphasis on reservoir host species, and to test the geographic structure at the species level. During this work, two mitochondrial genes (Cytb and COI) were sequenced for 1142 specimens. The mitochondrial analyses and their comparisons with the signal of nuclear markers have revealed that mitochondrial barcodes cannot be used to identify the eight species currently recognized in the complex Epomophorus / Epomops dobsonii / Micropteropus. Nevertheless, the mtDNA barcode approach allows us to identify the 18 other species of Epomophorinae, as well as several subspecies. The analyses of 13 genes (representing 11029 nucleotides) for 47 taxa have provided a robust and reliable phylogenetic tree. The results are used to propose a new classification, in which the subfamily Epomophorinae includes six tribes (Epomophorini, Myonycterini, Plerotini, Rousettini, Scotonycterini and Stenonycterini). A few additional taxonomic changes are proposed at the genus and species levels. Among them, the species Myonycteris leptodon is rehabilitated, and a new species of Megaloglossus is described in western Africa. The phylogeographic analyses have shown that most species present a strong structure between western Africa and central Africa forest blocks. There are three exceptions, which correspond to species able to disperse between the two forest blocks: Hypsignathus monstrosus, due to his large size; Micropteropus pusillus and Nanonycteris veldkampii, due to their adaptation to the savanna. This study shows that reservoirs host species of Ebola virus have evolved differently during the Plio-Pleistocene climatic oscillations

Abstract:
Throughout their world distribution, fruit bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) play an extremely important role in forest ecology through seed dispersal and pollination. However, the recognition of their role in maintaining forest ecological diversity has been largely overshadowed by the fact that fruit bats are known to cause damage to a wide variety of cultivated fruits and, as a result, significant effort is undertaken to control fruit bat numbers in areas where crop damage frequently occurs. In Australia, fruit bats of the genus Pteropus (or flying foxes) are well known for their role in destroying valuable fruit crops, particularly along the east coast from Cairns to Sydney. Historical evidence suggests that flying foxes have been culled as an orchard pest in large numbers for the past 80 years. Uncontrolled culling both on-farm and in roosts coupled with extensive habitat destruction in the past century, has resulted in noticeable declines both in flying fox distribution and local population numbers. In New South Wales, flying foxes have been 'protected' under the National Parks and Wildlife Act (1974) since 1986. From that time, fruitgrowers have been required to obtain a licence (referred to as an occupier's licence) from the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) to cull flying foxes causing damage to fruit crops. However, despite the 'protected' status of the species, flying foxes continue to be culled in large numbers as an orchard pest. An examination of the management of flying foxes in NSW, has shown that, between 1986-1992, fifteen NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Districts issued a combined total of 616 occupier's licences to shoot flying foxes with an total allocation of over 240,000 animals. In addition, most flying foxes are culled when the female is carrying her young under wing or when the young remain in the camp but continue to be dependent on her return for survival. Further evidence on the extent of culling includes a widely distributed fruitgrower survey with responses indicating that as few as 50% of the fruitgrowers shooting flying foxes in NSW obtain the required licence from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. While the NPWS has undertaken research into the role of flying foxes in seed dispersal and pollination, management effort largely continues to focus on resolving conflicts between fruitgrowers and flying foxes primarily by issuing culling permits to fruitgrowers. At present, there is no NPWS policy on the management of flying foxes in NSW to guide the administration of the permit system. As a result, the process of issuing permits for flying foxes is largely inconsistent between NPWS Districts. The absence of comprehensive goals and objectives for the management of flying foxes has resulted in the current situation where large numbers of flying foxes are being culled both legally and illegally in the absence of any data on the impacts of unknown culling levels on local flying fox populations. The NPWS has a statutory obligation to manage flying foxes consistent with the 'protected' status of the species in NSW and several well known principles of wildlife management. However, current management of flying foxes in indicates that the Service may be in violation of the requirement to 'protect' and 'conserve' flying foxes as required under the National Parks and Wildlife Act (1974). This study recommends that licences issued to fruitgrowers to cull flying foxes be discontinued immediately and that adequate enforcement be engaged to reduce illegal shooting. This action should continue until such time that research on flying fox populations is able to demonstrate that the culling of flying foxes will not lead populations into decline. Furthermore, management effort should focus on the development of alternative strategies to reduce crop damage by flying foxes and provide incentives for growers to utilize existing control strategies such as netting.
