“…1), serving as a barrier to chiropteran gene flow (Genoways et al, 1998(Genoways et al, , 2010Phillips et al, 1989) reinforce our hypothesis regarding the origin of M. buriri. Indeed, M. buriri is distributed immediately north of the southern Lesser Antillean portion of Koopman's Line ( Fig.…”

“…Despite additional surveys in 1967 and throughout the 1980s no additional specimens have been collected from Grenada (Genoways et al, 1998). This observation caused Genoways et al (1998) to question whether or not the Grenada specimen represented an accidental record or an established population on the island. Although no genetic data are available from the specimen, our external and skull measurements of this specimen indicate that it is within the range of mainland M. megalotis from Trinidad and Tobago: FA,34.15;Mc3,29.66;GSL,17.97;BH,7.77;BW,7.29;CPL,3.84;CL,16.00;MB,8.25;ZB,8.68;POW,3.76;IW,4.31;C1C1,3.27;PL,9.53; PPL, 4.56; MXTR, 6.87; ML, 11.77; MTL, 7.45 (acronyms defined in Materials and methods).…”

“…Indeed, M. buriri is distributed immediately north of the southern Lesser Antillean portion of Koopman's Line ( Fig. 1; see Genoways et al, 2010), which defines the boundary of the West Indian chiropteran fauna (Genoways et al, 1998). This observation is important as M. buriri represents a recently evolved southern Lesser Antillean endemic.…”

a b s t r a c tWe describe and formally name a species of big-eared bat (genus: Micronycteris), collected from the Lesser Antillean island of Saint Vincent. The new species is distinguished from its closest relative, Micronycteris megalotis, by its large size, distinct craniodental features, and by mitochondrial DNA variation. The distribution of the new species is restricted to the island of St. Vincent, southern Lesser Antilles. Relaxed molecular clock analyses indicate the most recent common ancestor between the St. Vincent species of Micronycteris and mainland populations of M. megalotis is less than 1 million years. Rising sea levels during the late Pleistocene likely contributed to the geographic isolation and subsequent allopatric speciation of this new species. Our data reinforce previous hypotheses regarding unrecognized species diversity within the M. megalotis complex.

“…Additionally, using the same criteria, Artibeus jamaicensis, A. planirostris, and A. schwartzi are sympatric in the Caribbean but it is likely that they hybridize, especially in light of the morphological data in Genoways et al (1998) The mitochondrial DNA data presented herein document the presence of individuals with the cytochrome-b sequences of A. jamaicensis, A. planirostris, and A. schwartzi on the small island of Carriacou in the southern Lesser Antilles. It is improbable that 3 species of Artibeus can coexist over time on this small, xeric, and ecologically monotypic island.…”

a b s t r a c t Currently, four species of Myotis are known from the islands of the Caribbean (Myotis dominicensis, M. martiniquensis, M. nesopolus, and M. nigricans). Myotis dominicensis and M. martiniquensis are endemic to the Lesser Antilles, whereas M. nesopolus and M. nigricans are considered conspecific with mainland populations. Recent phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies provided hypotheses regarding the origin and diversification of M. dominicensis and M. martiniquensis.However, these studies focused primarily on convergent morphology or distribution patterns of this genus and not on the evolutionary history of Caribbean Myotis. Here, we explore variation across multiple datasets generated from Caribbean Myotis. We present morphologic and genetic (mitochondrial and nuclear) data from an extensive sample of Caribbean Myotis species, including the previously unsampled taxa M. martiniquensis nyctor and M. nesopolus. Our data indicate that the historically recognized subspecies M. m. nyctor is genetically and morphologically distinct from M. martiniquensis, warranting recognition of a third Caribbean endemic-Myotis nyctor. Moreover, we provide evidence of unrecognized species-level variation in Caribbean and northern South American populations of Myotis.
