“…Dimensions of the NMP specimens of E. labiatus from Zambia are shown in Table 2. The metric data conforms to the characteristic of this species defined by Bergmans & van Strien (2004). Epomophorus wahlbergi is a widespread and common bat in the eastern and central parts of southern Africa (Bergmans 1988, Monadjem et al 2020a, its rarity in the NMP collection from Zambia is thus rather surprising.…”

“…In Zambia, this species occurs only in north-eastern section of the country and finds there a segment of the south-western margin of its distribution range (Monadjem et al 2020a). We collected E. labiatus from four sites in Zambia, they fell roughly into the known range of distribution; from the Kalambo Falls this bat was reported already by Bergmans (1988), though as E. minor Dobson, 1880, a junior synonym of E. labiatus (Claessen & De Vree 1991, Bergmans & van Strien 2004. Two newly documented sites of occurrence of this bat, Luwombwa Camp in the Kasanka NP and Ntumbachushi Falls, newly demarcate the south-western margin of the species range (cf.…”

A list of 139 specimens of bats belonging to 32 species of eight families originating from Zambia, housed in the collection of the National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic, is presented in a systematical review. The species lists are complemented by comments on distribution and morphometry data. The specimens represent 73 new records (species vs. locality) of bats from Zambia. The collection contains two species new for the Zambian fauna, Afropipistrellus grandidieri and Neoromicia somalica. Two species, Rhinolophus sakejiensis and Chaerephon bivittatus are documented for the second time from Zambia, the former bat for the first time after the species description at all. The record localities of Epomophorus labiatus, Rhinolophus mossambicus, and Neoromicia somalica shift margins of the whole known distribution ranges of these bats. In Epomophorus dobsonii, Nyctinomus aegyptiacus, Glauconycteris variegata, Pipistrellus rusticus, Scotophilus leucogaster, and S. viridis, the collection specimens represent new peripheral records making their distribution range margins more precise. Molecular genetic analysis revealed new distribution extent of particular mitochondrial lineages of the otherwise common species in Zambia, Hipposideros caffer, Nycteris thebaica, and Miniopterus natalensis s.str.

“…Genus Rousettus has been resemble to B. bidens (Bergmans and Rozendaal 1988). In this study, we found a lower diploid number of B. bidens (2n = 30) comparing to several Rousettus species from Africa and India (2n = 36) (O'brien et al, 2006).…”

This study aims to analyze karyotypes of Sulawesi’s small mammals with Giemsa banding technique. Five fruit bats species (Boneia bidens, Dobsonia viridis, Styloctenium wallacei, Thoopterus nigrescens, Thoopterus suhaniahae) and eight rat species (Bunomys andrewsi, Bunomys chrysocomus, Bunomys heinrichi, Paruromys sp., Rattus dommermani, Rattus exulans, Rattus hoffmanni, Taeromys celebensis) from Mt. Bawakaraeng, South Sulawesi were analyzed. Karyotypes of three species in this study were described for the first time. There were two species of bats and one species of rats showed the best of karyotypes. B. bidens has 2n = 30, FN = 53, FNa = 50, sub metacentric and telocentric for X and Y chromosomes respectively. T. suhaniahae has 2n = 38, FN = 64, FNa = 60 and metacentric X chromosomes. R. hoffmanni has 2n = 44, FN = 61, FNa = 59 and telosentric X chromosomes.
