西藏采集大蹄蝠指名亚种特征描述及亚种分类的探讨
Characteristics of Hipposideros armiger armiger(Chiroptera:Hipposider-idae)from Xizang,and a reevaluation of H.armiger subspecies taxonomy
摘要
Abstract
Hipposideros armiger(Chiroptera:Hipposideridae)is traditionally categorized into four recognized subspe-cies:H.a.armiger,H.a.fujianensis,H.a.terasensis,and H.a.traninhensis.In China,the first three subspecies are known to be widely distributed across 16 provinces.However,the validity of this subspecies classifacation is still debat-ed.In order to reassess and clarify the subspecies classification status of H.armiger,based on samples recently collect-ed from Xizang,which are geographically close to the type locality in Nepal,we integrated morphological and molecular data and evidences from samples from various provinces.Our findings indicate a lack of significant morphological and cranial metric differences among H.a.armiger,H.a.fujianensis,and H.a.terasensis.The phylogenetic analysis re-vealed that sequences from China forming a well-supported distinct lineage,with sequences from Fujian and Taiwan nest-ed within this lineage.The genetic distances among the three subspecies are minimal,ranging from 0.002 to 0.013.The haplotype network analysis also reveals no significant population genetic structure or geographic differences among three subspecies.The morphological and molecular evidence presented herein supports the reclassification of H.armi-ger in China as a single subspecies,H.a.armiger.This results not only clarifies the subspecies classification of H.ar-miger in China,but also provides foundational data for future research on phylogeography and conservation status.关键词
