Genetic diversity and population structure of European bats

Objective



Bats are one of the most diverse orders of mammals and are endangered throughout Europe. Knowledge about their ecology, abundance and species diversity even within Europe is still rather incomplete. This project is a comparative study of the ecology, genetic diversity and population substructures of the migratory noctule bat and the non-migratory whiskered bat. New molecular methods in population genetics (polymerase chain reaction, genetic fingerprinting and DNA sequencing) enable an analysis to be made of the genetic variability and relatedness within and between species or populations.

Co-operation with NIS scientists provides: contribution of samples from eastern Europe; knowledge about bat populations in eastern Europe (abstracts indicate the presence of many unpublished or inaccessible research results); initiation into modern molecular techniques in evolutionary biology in NIS museums; and support for maintaining one of the most important natural history collections of Europe.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
