摘要

在地中海地区,蝙蝠的隐蔽性多样性很常见。由于不同的遗传谱系应该独立管理以保护,因此对蝙蝠系统地理学的了解很重要。马耳他群岛位于北非和西西里岛之间的地中海中心,人口稠密。目前,人们认为至少有7种蝙蝠是本地的,但系统地理关系在很大程度上仍未被探索。因此,我们对23只蝙蝠线粒体16S rRNA基因的约540 bp片段进行了测序,这些蝙蝠是在公民科学项目Akustika中捕获的。我们发现了两个在北非常见的形态上隐蔽的谱系,Plecotus gaisleri和主要在北非的Hypsugo savi(最近一些研究将Hypsugo命名为达尔文假说)。我们还记录了两种Pipistrellus。库希利人单倍型属于北非和地中海地区的一个谱系。在pipistrellus中,我们发现了两个新的单倍型,它们聚集在一个北非分支中,与欧洲的单倍型明显不同。我们的研究结果强调了马耳他群岛和北非蝙蝠动物群之间的历史联系。马耳他是欧盟为数不多的gaisleri、pipistrellus和H. savii的北非分支出现的地区之一。因此,马耳他对保护欧洲的这些分类群负有特别高的责任。

Maltese bats show phylogeographic affiliation with North-Africa : implications for conservation
In the Mediterranean region, cryptic diversity of bats is common. As distinct genetic lineages should be managed independently for conservation, insight into bat phylogeography is important. The Maltese islands are located in the centre of the Mediterranean between North Africa and Sicily and are densely populated. At present, it is thought that at least seven species of bats are native, but phylogeographic affiliations remain largely unexplored. Therefore, we sequenced a ca. 540 bp fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene from 23 bats, which were captured during the citizen-science project Akustika. We found two morphologically cryptic lineages common in North Africa, Plecotus gaisleri and a mainly North-African lineage of Hypsugo savii (named Hypsugo cf. darwinii in some recent studies). We also recorded two Pipistrellus species. The P. kuhlii haplotype belonged to a lineage present in North-Africa and across the Mediterranean. Within P. pipistrellus we found two novel haplotypes that clustered within a North-African clade, well distinguished from the European haplotypes. Our results highlight the historic connection between the bat fauna of the Maltese Islands and North Africa. Malta is one of the few regions in the European Union where P. gaisleri and the North-African clades of P. pipistrellus and H. savii occur. Hence, Malta has an exceptionally high responsibility for the conservation of these taxa in Europe.

期刊介绍: Hystrix the Italian Journal of Mammalogy accepts papers on original research in basic and applied mammalogy on fossil and living mammals. The Journal is published both in paper and electronic "online first" format. Manuscripts can be published as full papers or short notes, as well as reviews on methods or theoretical issues related to mammals. Commentaries can also be occasionally accepted, under the approval by the Editor in Chief. Investigations of local or regional interest, new data about species distribution and range extensions or confirmatory research can be considered only when they have significant implications. Such studies should preferably be submitted as short notes. Manuscripts bearing only a local interest will not be accepted. Full papers have no limits in length as well as in figure and table number and are abstracted in English. Authors are encouraged to add supplemental material in form of colour figures, original datasets and/or computer program source code. Supplemental material and colour figures will appear only on the electronic edition. Short notes must be about 16000 characters long (including title, author names and affiliations, abstract and references), and do not include supplemental material. They are abstracted in English. Proceedings of symposia, meetings and/or workshops, and technical reports can be published as special supplements to regular issues, under the approval by the Editor in Chief and the Associate Editors. There are no page charges.
