FIGURE 1. Aloe verdoorniae. A. First flowering of a young plant. Note the inflorescence branching from about the middle. B. Rosette. Note the purplish blue adaxial leaf surface and haphazardly scattered maculations. C. Plant with a glaucous green adaxial leaf surface. D. A rare, highly spotted variant. The rosette divided into two after it was damaged, likely by grazing herbivores. All photographs taken by Gideon F. Smith.

Fig. 6 in Newly described and already endangered: a new mammal species endemic to Corsica

Fig. 6. Portraits and hind feet (dorsal view) of an adult female M. nustrale sp. nov. caught near Bavella, in southern Corsica (left) and an adult female M. crypticus from the Jura mountains in Switzerland (right). Notice that the latter individual has a faint line bordering the lower lip, while the former has a much more conspicuous chin spot. Wing insertion to the outer toe is, however, identical in both species. For the left individual, the wing was not stretched while it was stretched for the right individual.

Fig. 3. PCA showing (A) the clear separation between M. crypticus (Mcry; green circles) and M. nustrale sp. nov. individuals (Mnus; blue squares), and (B), the differentiation between populations within M. nustrale sp. nov. Horizontal and vertical axis explain 23.9 and 8.5% of the variance, respectively, in (A) and 17.1 and 13.9% of the variance in (B).

Fig. 1. Topographic map of Corsica (France) showing the current records of M. nustrale sp. nov. on this Mediterranean island (Courtois et al., 2011; Groupe Chiroptères Corse, 2019). The black dots represent capture sites, while the red stars indicate the presence of lactating females, including those living in the only known nursery roost of Ghisoni. A double circle indicates the location where the holotype of M. nustrale sp. nov. was found. Shades of grey represent areas above 100 m a.s.l.

Fig. 5 in Newly described and already endangered: a new mammal species endemic to Corsica

Fig. 5. External characters of Myotis nustrale sp. nov. Panels are close-ups of the female holotype (MNHN-ZM-2023-12), except the lower right one which is a picture from a released adult individual (Photo © Yann Le Bris). The upper left panel illustrates the stiff hairs running along the uropatagium, viewed from below. The upper right panel is the right foot with wing insertion to the base of the outer toe, in ventral view. The lower left panel illustrates the long and straight tragus and unnotched ear of the female holotype. On the portrait of the live individual, notice the black chin spot on the lower lip.

Fig. 2. Bayesian topology based on five partitioned nuclear introns (SLC38A7, ABHD11, ACOX2, COPS7A and ROGDI). The outgroup (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) is not shown. Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) <60 are not shown, neither are within species BPP values. The holotype of Myotis nustrale sp. nov. (sample number MNA008_CO_ALB) is indicated by a white arrow.
