“…The result (Figure 1) shows that Murina and Myotisis have a close phylogenetic relationship and co-locate on a large clade; Eptesicus, Vespertilio, Hypsugo, Pipistrellus, and Nyctalus have a close phylogenetic relationship which co-locate on an another large clade. The above results are similar to the previous studies (Volleth and Heller 1994;Kawai et al 2002;Hoofer and Van Den Bussche 2003). Phylogenetic analysis shows that the Pipistrellini is multiline origin, Pipistrellus-like bats can be divided into three groups:…”

Hypsugo alaschanicus belong to Chiroptera, which is the only type of mammals with the real ability to fly. The complete mitochondrial genome of H. alaschanicus based on next generation sequencing data thus determined had 37 genes for 13 proteins, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs together with a major non-coding region in a typical gene arrangement of vertebrate mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analysis shows that Pipistrellini is multiline origin, Pipistrellus -like bats can be divided into three groups: Pipistrellini-Nyctalini, Vespertilionini-Eptesicini, and Asian Pipistrelles. Hypsugo alone become a clade, Vespertilio and Eptesicus phylogenetic relationship are closer, Pipistrellus and Nyctalus have a close phylogenetic relationship.

“…Instead, various species currently classified in distinct subgenera but living in the same biogeographic region grouped together in strongly supported clades. More recent work by Hoofer and Van Den Bussche (2003) and Stadelmann et al (2004) confirmed this surprising phylogenetic pattern, invalidating the classical, morphology-based systematic arrangement of this diverse group of bats. Unfortunately these molecular analyses were not informative about the Ethiopian species of Myotis as only M. welwitschii, M. bocagii and/or M. goudoti were sampled.…”

“…We used the following palaeontological constraints obtained from the fossil record. The maximal age for the root of the Myotis radiation is given by its separation from the lineage leading to the Kerivoulinae and Murininae, both of which are currently considered as the closest outgroups to Myotis (Horá…ek et al, 2000;Jones et al, 2002;Hoofer and Van Den Bussche, 2003). According to Horá…ek (2001), this separation would date back to about 30 million years ago (MYA).…”

“…Por otra parte, la lista en Ceballos y Arroyo-Cabrales (2012) considera válida la familia de quirópteros Antrozoidae siguiendo a Simmons (1998). Sin embargo, evidencia más reciente (Hoofer y Van Den Bussche 2001, Hoofer y Van Den Bussche 2003, y Roehrs et al 2010 indica que se justifica considerarla una subfamilia dentro de Vespertilionidae (Antrozoinae); en la edición más reciente de Wilson y Reeder (2005) Simmons ya la recoloca como Antrozoinae. Por otra parte, Wilson y Reeder (2005) reconocen varias tribus dentro de la subfamilia Vespertilioninae, posición que aquí se sigue al mencionar aquellas a las que corresponden las especies presentes en Guanajuato (Eptesicini, Lasiurini, Nycticeiini, Pipistrellini y Plecotini).…”

Introduction. Alfred Dugès (1826Dugès ( -1910 began the formal study of wild mammals in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. After his death the subject remained virtually forgotten for almost a hundred years. In the early years of the XXI century several authors began a period of revision of this state fauna based on recent field surveys, museum specimens and previously unnoticed literature.Objectives. The objectives of the present contribution were: to integrate a synopsis of the mammalian fauna of Guanajuato, documenting details for species and subspecies, recognizing proportions of its components at the family level; diagnose the current state coverage of records at the municipality level; outline general biogeographic affinities of the mammal fauna; develop a general conservation view with emphasis on endangered species and protected areas (but without losing sight of other species, spaces and policy instruments), and indicate pending aspects. Methodology.Results of previous literature reviews and museum specimen searches served to summarize mammal species richness, general state distribution and conservation status of taxa.Faunal affinities were outlined considering mammal species whose distribution is clearly associated with large physiographic-biogeographic regions converging in Guanajuato. Information on species at risk, protected areas, priority species, species management units and trade regulations, was gathered and collated to build an integrated conservation diagnostic. Lack of information on other conservation aspects was also addressed and main gaps were identified.Results. Ninety three species of 20 mammal families are known from Guanajuato, mainly Rodentia, Chiroptera and Carnivora. Records were found for 30 of 46 municipalities; but are still unrepresentative. Only 25 species have been recorded in more than five municipalities (Figure 4). The mammal fauna has affinity with the Mexican Plateau, with the slopes of the Gulf of Mexico and of the Pacific, and the Neovolcanic Belt ( Figure 5). Most of the territory in Guanajuato is considerably disturbed ( Figure 6); main conservation strongholds for species at risk are related to protected areas. Discussion and Conclusions.The 93 recorded species were catalogued with data on subspecies, general state distribution, and comments on taxonomy and conservation status. Guanajuato still needs systematic sampling; current records are not yet representative of the territory. This mammal fauna is a complex with different biogeographical components, which should guide any conservation strategy. Alteration of territory calls for effective conservation within protected natural areas (PNA), particularly for species at risk, but some PNAs do not have a validated mammal inventory. Management units (UMA) are scarce and aim at fostering a few species of economic interest; these units need to reorient their overall support for conservation of native biota. Some species are officially considered as priority ones, which can induce/enhance conservation in Guanajuato. Beside...
