Myotis escalerai
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Myotis escalerai is a European bat in the genus Myotis, found in Spain (including the Balearic Islands), Portugal, and far southern France. Although the species was first named in 1904, it was included in Natterer`s bat (Myotis nattereri) until molecular studies, first published in 2006, proved that the two are distinct. Myotis escalerai is most closely related to an unnamed species from Morocco. Unlike Myotis nattereri, which lives in small groups in tree holes, M. escalerai forms large colonies in caves. Females start to aggregate in late spring in maternity colonies, and their young are born in summer. The species spends the winter in hibernation colonies, usually in caves or basements.
Myotis alcathoe
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Myotis alcathoe is a European bat in the genus Myotis. Known only from Greece and Hungary when it was first described in 2001, its known distribution has since expanded to Spain, England, Sweden, and Azerbaijan, among other countries. It is similar to the whiskered bat (Myotis mystacinus) and other species and is difficult to distinguish from them. However, its brown fur is distinctive and it is clearly different in characters of its karyotype and DNA sequences. Although some genetic data suggest that it is related to Geoffroy`s bat (Myotis emarginatus), other analyses do not support a close relationship between M. alcathoe and any other species.
