Skull morphology of two cryptic bat species:
Pipistrellus pipistrellus and P.
The distribution range of the genus
Pipistrellus extends from central southern Africa, throughout Eurasia to Indonesia, Japan, New Guinea and northern Australia Solomon Islands.
Streit and Nagel (1993) reported, in adults of the insectivorous bat
Pipistrellus pipistrellus, levels of Pb in the liver between 2.95 and 38.5 mg/g dry mass and Cu levels between 15.7 and 32.0 mg/g dry mass.

Larger groups of individuals or colonies consisted solely of barbastelles, or else individuals of
Pipistrellus species (though with no more than five bats present together in the latter case).
It was only recently discovered that there are actually two species of pipistrelle bat - common and soprano - both originally grouped as
Pipistrellus pipistrellus.
In other, not-so-positive changes on the Red List, five of the six most prominent species of ash tree in North America have been classified as critically endangered because of the threat posed by an invasive beetle, and the Christmas Island pipistrelle bat (
Pipistrellus murrayi) is officially extinct.
Feeding ecology of
Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) during pregnancy and lactation.
They become hypertrophied and secretory with granular columnar epithelium in synchrony with the elevated testicular steroid cycle and involuted with cuboidal epithelium and agranular cytoplasm in the inactive testicular state in number of bat species, Nactyla noctula (Racey, 1974);
Pipistrellus dormeri (Gadegone & Sapkal, 1983); Taphozous melanopogon and Miniopterus (Gadegone et al., 1995); Brachyphylla cavemarum (Krutzsch & Nellis, 2006); Hipposideros lankadiva (Gadegone et al., 2005); Brachyphylla cavemarum (Puga et al.); Myotis negricans (Negrin et al., 2014) and Eidolon helvum (Danmaigoro et al., 2014).
