Uropatagium venation pattern in bats as diagnostic character (by the example of genus Myotis)
Dokuchaev N.E.
P. 129-132
By the example of genus Myotis it was shown that venation pattern on uropatagium of bats in some cases can be used as diagnostic character. Venation features on uropatagium allow easy to separate Daubenton’s bat, eastern water bat, big-footed bat, and pond bat from Brandt’s bat, Siberian bat, whiskered bat, and Ikonnikov’s bat.
