Seawater body dipping behaviour of the Mauritian flying fox
<p>The Mauritian flying fox (<i>Pteropus niger</i>) is the last surviving fruit bat species on Mauritius and is currently Endangered. The species faces threats as only 4.4% of habitats with high native content remains, however highly fragmented and invaded by alien species. Furthermore, stochastic events such as cyclones negatively impact food resources availability and likely encourage flying foxes to explore alternative ways to complement their diet in situation of food shortages. We organized various trips after extensive stochastic events to observe flying foxes attempting to dip their lower body part in the sea. Around 15 seawater body dipping instances were observed. Each time, the flying fox would clumsily dip itself into the water and lick their wet fur immediately after. This shows the species' behavioral versatility and plausibly their resilience ability and local adaptation to particular opportunities within their environment. These observations potentially unravel an alternative way for flying foxes to complement minerals intake. The situation might also emphasize the decline in the species native foraging habitats quality and consequently prompts long-term conservation measures. Restoration of native forests from invasive alien species could maximize diverse native fruits availability all year round, thus limiting chances of food shortages for flying foxes.</p>

Figure 5 from: Buden D, Helgen K, Wiles G (2013) Taxonomy, distribution, and natural history of flying foxes (Chiroptera, Pteropodidae) in the Mortlock Islands and Chuuk State, Caroline Islands. ZooKeys 345: 97-135. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.345.5840
Figure 5 - Morphometric separation (first two principal components of a Principal Components Analysis) of 27 adult skulls of Pteropus pelagicus and Pteropus tokudae. These comparisons involve 5 measurements (maxillary toothrow length, breadth of braincase, external breadth of rostrum across canines, external breadth of palate across first upper molars, and least interorbital breadth). The first principal component mainly reflects distinctions in overall skull size, which increases from right to left. Specimens of Pteropus pelagicus pelagicus from the Mortlock Islandsare denoted by red symbols (including the red triangle, the holotype of phaeocephalus from "Mortlock Islands"; red circles, Satawan Atoll; and red squares, Namoluk Atoll). Specimens of Pteropus pelagicus insularis are denoted by black symbols; closed black symbols indicate samples of known geographic origin (including the closed black triangle, the holotype of insularis from "Ruck"; closed black circles, specimens labeled "Ruck"; closed black square, specimen labeled "Uala" (= Weno); and black cross, specimen from Namonuito Atoll) and open symbols indicate specimens of imprecise geographic origin (including the large open triangle, the lectotype of laniger, erroneously attributed to the "Samoa Islands" in the original description; open black circle, an unprovenanced specimen from ANSP; and open black diamonds, specimens at AMNH seized on Guam but originating from Chuuk State). Specimens of the closely related species Pteropus tokudae from Guam are denoted by pink symbols (including the pink triangle, the holotype of tokudae from Guam, and the pink squares, other specimens from Guam).
