Swinny's Horseshoe Bat Swinny's Horseshoe Bat

Rhinolophus swinnyi Gough 1908

Biology

provided by Arkive
Swinny's horseshoe bat lives in groups of around five individuals, although many groups may congregate in a roost. Very little is known of their behaviour, diet or reproductive cycle (3). The horseshoe bats have highly-developed echolocation systems which are able to decipher Doppler-shifted echoes. The Doppler shift is the change in pitch heard when the source of a sound and its receiver are either getting closer together or further apart. If a source of sound and an individual hearing that sound are getting closer together, the receiver will hear a higher pitched sound than if they remained at a constant distance. As a bat flies towards its prey, it is listening for the echo of the pulses of sound it emits. These echoes increase in frequency as the bat approaches its prey. However, horseshoe bats have an optimal frequency of sound to which they are especially sensitive and so to ensure their echoes return at this frequency, they compensate for the Doppler shift by emitting a lower frequency; the faster they fly, the lower the pitch (5). For Swinny's horseshoe bat, the echo will always return at 115 kHz, although the frequency of the emitted sounds varies with flight speed (3). Whereas other bat species cannot emit and receive echolocation signals at the same time, being able to compensate for the Doppler shift enables horseshoe bats to use longer, overlapping calls to build up a more detailed picture of their cluttered forest environment (5).

Conservation

Swinny's horseshoe bat is found in several national parks across its range and if habitat loss continues, the survival of this species will depend on sustained good management of these parks (4).

Description

provided by Arkive
This small horseshoe bat has the characteristic horseshoe-shaped noseleaf for emitting ultrasonic echolocation calls. The noseleaf does not extend over the whole muzzle and is made up of elaborate folds of skin which are sparsely covered with hair. The ears are large and pale greyish-brown and do not meet at the centre of the head. The eyes are very small and the pointed top of the noseleaf runs between them. The upperparts are greyish-brown, fading to pale grey on the underside. The membranous wings are chocolate brown. There are three subspecies: Rhinolophus swinnyi swinnyi, Rhinolophus swinnyi piriensis and Rhinolophus swinnyi rhodesiae. The latter is known to have a bright orange colour variant (3).

Swinny's horseshoe bat

provided by wikipedia EN

Swinny's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus swinnyi) is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae. In English, R. swinnyi is commonly referred to as Swinny's horseshoe bat. In Afrikaans, it is commonly referred to as Swinny se saalneusvlermuis.[2] This species belongs to the African clade. R. swinnyi was discovered by an African collector H. H. Swinny.[3] They have been recorded in Angola, Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Malawi.[3][2]

Taxonomy

R. swinnyi is in the same family as R. denti and R. simulator. These species have very similar body structure, size, morphology and echolocation calls.[2][3] This led scientists to the conclusion that R. swinny was a subspecies of R. denti and R. simulator.[2] Genetic studies have shown that R. swinnyi is a separate, distinct species.[2]

Distribution

R. swinnyi is endemic to Africa. They have an extensive geographic distribution across the African continent.[4][5] The surface area of their wings is comparatively larger resulting in decreased wing loading.[6] This leads to limited dispersal and restricted range between populations.[2][7][5] The bats live in small groups of 10 with less than 1,000 mature species in each colony.[8] The total population is predicted to be around 10,000.[2]

Biology

Description

R. swinnyi are a species of small bats with an average total length of 70 mm and an average weight of 7.6 g.[3] The most distinguishing characteristic of this family is their nasal region. This region has three parts, the lancet, the sella, and the nose leaf.[5] The nose-leaf is in the shape of a horseshoe and varies in size and shape.[5] The backside of their body is grey to brown and white at the bottom. The frontside is significantly lighter, pale brown to off-white.[3] They have short pointy ears, light brown to light grey wings and interfemoral membrane.[3] Their skull is a total length of 17.5 mm. The posterior premolar teeth are long located between the canines.[3] Their flight patterns are slow with high maneuverability. They have lower wing loading which increases their ability to lift and move quickly and easily.[6]

Habitat and behaviour

Swinny’s horseshoe bats are largely found in montane forest and savanna woodlands. They roost in wet, sheltered caves and have no preference for particular vegetation.[3] Like most nocturnal bats, R. swinnyi reside in dark areas of caves and old mining sites. They roost during broad daylight hanging from the ceiling, individually or in pairs dispersed throughout their sheltered area. Some species have been found in company with similar species such as R. simulator.[3] They use echolocation to navigate, forage for food in the dark and in mate choice.[4] They have an average echolocation frequency of 106.7 kHz.[5]

Many of their reproductive and chronology patterns are not known yet.

Diet

Swinny's horseshoe bats are an insectivorous species. Whitaker and Black studied the stomach contents of bats from the family Rhinolophidae and discovered that R. swinnyi fed almost exclusively on mature Lepidoptera. Other insects they feed on include termites, beetles, flies, and crickets.[9]

Threats and conservation

Swinny's horseshoe bats are threatened by agriculture, extraction of timber, firewood, degradation of forest habitats, and human settlement.[2][8] The IUCN Red List categorizes the status of Rhinolophus swinnyi as least concern, meaning the current population trend is stable and there is no risk of the species going extinct.[8]

Rhinolophus swinnyi — вид рукокрилих родини Підковикові (Rhinolophidae).

Поширення

Країни проживання: Демократична Республіка Конго, Мозамбік, Південно-Африканська Республіка, Танзанія, Замбія, Зімбабве. Знайдено у гірських вологих тропічних лісах, посушливих і вологих саванах. Населення залежить від печер, шахт та інших подібних місць для спочинку.

Загрози та охорона

Населенню може локально загрожувати вирубка лісів, в основному в результаті лісозаготівель, місцевого використання деревини і дров, і загальні перетворення земель в сільськогосподарське використання. Вид присутній у деяких охоронних районах.
