Bats are one of the major components of the indigenous mammalian fauna of Madagascar, in addition to tenrecs, lemurs, euplerid carnivores, and nesomyine rodents. Forty-six bat species have so far been recorded on Madagascar, of which thirty-six occur only on the island. However, new species continue to be discovered, causing the number of species to rise rapidly; for example, Nick Garbutt's ''Mammals of Madagascar'' (2007) listed only 36 species.〔Garbutt, 2007, p. 59〕 Most Malagasy bats have their origins in nearby mainland Africa, but on at least three occasions—''Pipistrellus raceyi'', ''Pteropus rufus'', and the species pair ''Emballonura atrata–E. tiavato''—bats have colonized Madagascar from Asia.〔Bates et al., 2006, p. 321〕 ==Taxonomic classification== The following bat genera and families include species found on Madagascar (all species counts are for Madagascar only): *Family Pteropodidae (3 endemic species) * *Genus ''Eidolon'' (1 endemic species) * *Genus ''Pteropus'' (1 endemic species) * *Genus ''Rousettus'' (1 endemic species) *Family Hipposideridae (6 endemic species) * *Genus ''Hipposideros'' (2 endemic species, one of which is extinct) * *Genus ''Paratriaenops'' (2 endemic species) * *Genus ''Triaenops'' (2 endemic species, one of which is extinct) *Family Emballonuridae (2 endemic, 2 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Coleura'' (1 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Emballonura'' (2 endemic species) * *Genus ''Taphozous'' (1 non-endemic species) *Family Nycteridae (1 endemic species) * *Genus ''Nycteris'' (1 endemic species) *Family Myzopodidae (2 endemic species) * *Genus ''Myzopoda'' (2 endemic species) *Family Molossidae (5 endemic, 3 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Chaerephon'' (2 endemic, 1 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Mops'' (1 endemic, 1 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Mormopterus'' (1 endemic species) * *Genus ''Otomops'' (1 endemic species) * *Genus ''Tadarida'' (1 non-endemic species) *Family Miniopteridae (9 endemic, 2 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Miniopterus'' (9 endemic, 2 non-endemic species) *Family Vespertilionidae (8 endemic, 4 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Hypsugo'' (1 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Myotis'' (1 endemic species) * *Genus ''Neoromicia'' (3 endemic species) * *Genus ''Pipistrellus'' (1 endemic, 1 non-endemic species) * *Genus ''Scotophilus'' (3 endemic, 1 non-endemic species) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of bats of Madagascar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
