The myoglobin of the fruit-bat Rousettus aegyptiacus

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure, 1977
The myoglobin of the fruit-bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) has been investigated. It has 153 amino acid residues. When the possible therian ancestral myoglobin is taken into consideration, the myoglobin of the fruit-bat resembles most closely that of the hedgehog.

A Vasectomy Technique for Egyptian Fruit Bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2004
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats in captivity reproduce well and contraceptive techniques are needed. In initial attempts at vasectomy using a prescrotal approach, it was difficult to identify the mesoductus deferens. The technique described here uses a scrotal approach with exteriorization of the testis, followed by ...

Microchip-Associated Leiomyosarcoma in an Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2007
Microchips are commonly used in companion, research, and zoo animal medicine for easy, reliable, and cost-effective identification with relatively low risk of side effects. This report describes development of a metastatic leiomyosarcoma associated with a microchip in an Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Primate-like retinotectal decussation in an echolocating megabat, Rousettus aegyptiacus

Neuroscience, 2008
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The current study was designed to reveal the retinotectal pathway in the brain of the echolocating megabat Rousettus aegyptiacus. The retinotectal pathway of other species of megabats shows the primate-like pattern of decussation in the retina; however, it has been reported that the echolocating ...

Hearing in a megachiropteran fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 1998
The Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is one of the few megachiropteran bats capable of echolocation. However, it uses rudimentary tongue clicks rather than laryngeally produced echo calls. We determined the audiogram of 2 bats using a conditioned avoidance procedure with fruit puree reward.

The Effect of Familiarity on Echolocation in the Megachiropteran Bat Rousettus aegyptiacus

Behaviour, 2007
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Much is known about the way bats adjust their echolocation behaviour in response to environmental structure or to locate insect prey. By contrast, little is known about how echolocation calls are modulated in response to familiarity of the environment and objects within it.

Aspects of the assimilation of sugars by Rousettus aegyptiacus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1977
Abstract 1. 1. The fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus assimilates both glucose and fructose faster than the considerably larger laboratory rat. 2. 2. The fruit bat assimilates fructose faster than glucose. 3. 3. Hypertonic solutions of glucose and fructose undergo less dilution in the bat's small intestine than in that of the rat's.

Pattern or retinotectal projection in the megachiropteran bat Rousettus aegyptiacus

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1991
AbstractThe retinotopic organisation of the superior colliculus (SC) in the megachiropteran bat Rousettus aegyptiacus was examined with single and multi‐unit recordings and by tracing the retrograde and anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) between the retina and the SC.The pattern of projection of the visual field onto the SC in ...

Protein profile of the myelin membrane of the fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1983
Integral membrane protein composition of the myelin membrane from normal and vitamin B12-deficient fruit bats has been compared with that of the rat. Purified myelin from the fruit bat shows only one basic protein which co-migrates with the large basic protein of the rat, and thus presents a pattern similar to that of the guinea pig.
