Longevity records for bats in Mongolia
Bats live disproportionally longer compared to other small mammals. This has made them good candidate for research questions related to aging and mechanisms that influence longevity.

| description | Bats live disproportionally longer compared to other small mammals. This has made them good candidate for research questions related to aging and mechanisms that influence longevity. In this report, we compiled survival data from our own research as well as from published records of bat recaptures in Mongolia. Longevity records revealed that five out of the ten species that have been marked over time show evidence of long-term survival. This included max longevity records for: Myotis petax with an individual surviving for at least 28 years after initial banding. In addition, other records include Myotis davidii (>10 years), and Cnephaeus nilssonii (>7 years). All recapture data were from species roosting in caves and generally found during hibernation. These results contribute to our general understanding of longevity in hibernating bats and the potential importance of individual bats survival to the conservation of bats species in Mongolia. |
