TLDR
The first objective of this study was to determine if it could find a living population or populations of this species, and if extant populations were discovered, to define the species’ current conservation status in accordance with standards proposed by IUCN (2004).Abstract:
The insectivorous flat-headed bat Myotis planiceps (Vespertilionidae) is an endemic species apparently restricted to a very small area, known only from three specimens collected between 1952 and 1970 in Madrean pine-oak woodland in three adjacent states in north-central Mexico: Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Zacatecas (Matson, 1975). Myotis planiceps was once considered extinct by IUCN (Baillie and Groombridge, 1996), but more recently its status was changed to Critically Endangered (IUCN, 2004). The first objective of our study was to determine if we could find a living population or populations of this species. If extant populations were discovered, then further investigations were warranted, including detailed distribution, habitat requirements, dietary habits, and roosting behavior, to define the species’ current conservation status in accordance with standards proposed by IUCN (2004).read more

TL;DR: To elucidate the placement of M. planiceps within the Myotis phylogeny, sequenced 1,140 base pairs of the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene (Cytb) and 1,148 bps of the nuclear Recombination Activating Gene 2 (rag2) from 7 samples collected from 4 different localities in north-central Mexico and performed maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analyses.

Summer roosts of “The revenant” flat-headed myotis, Myotis planiceps
TL;DR: In this article, the flat-headed myotis (Myotis planiceps) was declared extinct in 1996 but rediscovered in 2004, thus the reference to a revenant, one who came back from the dead.

Echolocation by insect-eating bats
TL;DR: This article describes the echolocation behavior of insect-eating bats and shows how differing circumstances such as habitat type, foraging mode, and diet favor different signal types, and outlines the perceptual tasks that must be performed by foraging bats.

TL;DR: An overlap-free “window” within which pipistrelles may detect potential prey and which allows predictions of minimum distances to prey and clutter-producing objects is proposed.
