Study Notes
Bat Classification
- Bats belong to the order Chiroptera, which is the only order of mammals that has evolved the ability to fly.
- They have a leathery wing, which is actually a fold of skin that extends between the neck, limbs, and tail.
- Bats have four very long, clawless fingers on each forelimb.
- The Pipistrellus Kuhlii bat is a member of the Microchiroptera suborder which is characterized by its small size.
- Most Microchiroptera are insectivorous, but there are some species that are frugivorous, nictivorous, sanguinivorous, or carnivorous.
- Bats appear to have descended from a common ancestor that was insectivorous.
- Pipistrellus kuhlii, the bat studied in the paper, is globally distributed from Europe to the Balkans to the north, including Switzerland and France, and south to Africa.
- Bats have large external ears and multiple glands on their heads and faces
Female Bat Reproductive System
- The female reproductive system consists of the ovaries, oviducts, and uterus.
- The ovary is a mass of connective tissue that encloses germ epithelium containing eggs of all stages of development.
- Eggs in the ovary are surrounded by a layer of nutrient cells, which are known as Graafian follicles.
- A primordial germ cell becomes an egg cell with the development of Graafian follicles.
- The female reproductive system ignores the mesonephric duct and utilizes the Mullerian ducts.
- Mullerian ducts are initially not directly continuous with the ovaries, but the anterior end opens into the peritoneum, which is close to the ovary
- In females, the mesonephric duct disappears and the Mullerian ducts connect at their posterior ends to form the uterus and vagina.
- The female reproductive system is different from the male reproductive system in that the female system does not utilize the mesonephric duct.
- As a result of the evolution of the female reproductive system, most adult mammals have two separate orifices: a urogenital opening and an anus.
