“…A wide range of PFs (23-29 kHz) was recorded in individuals of all four clades, and this range was consistent with published frequencies, except the 16 kHz sonotype was not recorded (Taylor 1999b;Fenton et al 2004;Schoeman & Waddington 2011).We also found no significant difference in mean size of bats among lineages, which is consistent with the strong correlation between PF and body size observed in many species of insectivorous bats (Jones 1996). Although we found a significant difference in Dur between clades 1.2 and 1.1, acoustic divergence among cryptic species and populations typically involves PF or BW rather than Dur (Heller & von Helversen 1989;Russo & Jones 2000;Kingston et al 2001;Jacobs et al 2006Jacobs et al , 2007Furman et al 2010;Ramasindrazana et al 2011). However, none of these examples included molossid taxa.…”

Our extension of the phylogenetic study of Taylor et al. (2009) on a larger, more geographically representative sample confirmed their finding of genetically distinct sympatric lineages of bats currently referred to as Chaerephon pumilus sensu lato (s.l.) (family Molossidae) in southeastern Africa. Chaerephon pumilus s.l. comprised two cytochrome b lineages separated by a mean genetic distance of 0.7% (0.1-1.4%), consistent with intraspecific variability. The C. pumilus s.l. clade was paraphyletic, containing a nested C. leucogaster (Madagascar) clade. As well as the expected four mitochondrial control region lineages, we identified a new strongly-supported clade from the Durban area. Indices of diversity and neutrality, combined with a ragged multimodal mismatch distribution, are inconsistent with demographic expansion of a single C. pumilus s.l. population in southeastern Africa, and suggest that the control region lineages are stable units at demographic equilibrium. Dating analyses suggest that these lineages were established during the late Pleistocene, between 60 000 and 13 000 years ago. We found no evidence to support our hypothesis that the sympatric genetic lineages of C. pumilus s.l. are associated with distinct sonotypes, as discriminant function analysis based on four echolocation parameters could not discriminate between the four clades. We hypothesise that the different genetic lineages may be distinguished by differences in social communication and behaviour.

“…Based on these results we also used the Bayesian model-based assignment test to analyze a combined data set composed of the microsatellite data from this and a previous study (Furman et al, 2010a). The Furman et al (2010a) data included 174 samples typed using the same loci as the ones used in this study.…”

“…The phylogenetic differentiation of M. s. schreibersii and M. s. pallidus is well established in the literature (Bilgin et al, 2008;Furman et al, 2010a); therefore, rather than building a tree, a haplotype network was made using the D-loop haplotypes sequenced in this study, as well as all of the previously published haplotypes for this species from the region (Furman et al, 2010b). The network was prepared using the parsimony method at the 95% cut-off limit, as implemented in the program TCS v.1.21 (Clement et al, 2000).…”

“…Nevertheless, current taxonomic revisions suggest that M. schreibersii sensu lato represents a large complex from which several species have been recognized in the last decade. The latest change being the elevation of M. s. pallidus Thomas, 1907, as a full species (M. pallidus) following morphometric, mitochondrial and nuclear data (Furman et al, 2010;Bilgin et al, 2012). The type locality of Vespertilio schreibersii (=M.…”

(English)We used an integrative approach combining cranio-dental characters, mitochondrial and nuclear data and acoustic data to show the presence in the genus Miniopterus of a cryptic species from the Maghreb region. This species was previously recognised as Miniopterus schreibersii (Kuhl, 1817). Miniopterus maghrebensis sp. nov. can be differentiated from M. schreibersii sensu stricto on the basis of cranial characters and from mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite evidence. Although slight external morphological and acoustic differences were noted between the two species, these criteria alone did not allow reliable species identification from live animals. Based on the specimens identified morphologically and/or genetically, the distribution range of M. maghrebensis sp. nov. extends from northern Morocco to south of the High Atlas Mountains and northern Tunisia. The new cryptic species is found in sympatry with M. schreibersii s.str. near coastal regions of North Africa.Key words: Bats, cryptic species, echolocation, Mammalia, Morocco Abstract (French)Nous avons utilisé une approche intégrative combinant des analyses cranio-dentaires, des marqueurs moléculaires mitochondriaux et nucléaires ainsi que des données acoustiques pour montrer la présence dans le genre Miniopterus d'une espèce cryptique en provenance du Maghreb. Cette espèce était auparavant reconnue en tant que Miniopterus schreibersii (Kuhl, 1817). Miniopterus maghrebensis sp. nov. est différencié de M. schreibersii sensu stricto sur la base de caractères crâniaux ainsi que des marqueurs moléculaires mitochondriaux et des microsatellites. Bien que de petites différences morphologiques externes et acoustiques aient été notées entre les deux espèces, ces critères à eux seuls ne permettent pas d'identifier de manière fiable les animaux sur le terrain. Sur la base d'identifications morphologiques et/ou génétiques de spécimens, M. maghrebensis sp. nov. s'étends du nord du Maroc jusqu'au sud des montagnes du Haut Atlas et au nord de la Tunisie. Cette nouvelle espèce cryptique est trouvée en sympatrie avec M. schreibersii s.str. près des régions côtières d'Afrique du Nord.Zootaxa 3794 (1)
