【 摘 要 】

The eastern bent-winged bat (Miniopterus fuliginosus) is aninsectivorous bat that lives in the caves, throughout Japan [11]. The bats aggregate in cave in populations of tens to thousands ofindividuals. We examined the mitochondrial D-loop sequences of bats in Wakayama, Japan,and divided them into 35 haplotypes. The sequences of 3 haplotypes in Wakayama were thesame as those of 10 Miniopterus fuliginosus individuals living in China.Given the substitution rate of the D-loop region, we speculated that the bats had movedbetween Japan and China within the last 16,000 years. We could not determine how the batscrossed the sea; however, it is possible that the bats undergo dynamic movement widelythroughout East Asia.
