No information is available on K. lanosa for this category.
All members of the suborder (Microchiroptera) use high frequency sounds to locate their prey. K. lanosa is insectivorous.
Animal Foods: insects
Primary Diet: carnivore (Insectivore )
Bats play a very important ecological role in almost every ecosystem worldwide as pollinators, seed dispersers, and insectivores. While there is no information on the impact that K.lanosa has on its ecosystem, there is significant research available on other members of the family Vespertilionidae. All information in this category is based on research for other species of the family, and not that of K. lanosa. All members of the family are insectivorous and play a very important role in the balance of their respective ecosystems.
One member of the Vespertilionidea family, Myotis lucifugus (little brown bat) can consume over 1200 (mosquito size) insects in one hour and eat 100 percent of its own body mass every night. Roughly 80 percent of M. lucifugus in the northern US and Canada eat mosquitoes. These bats are known to be very important in pest control in the region. A single 150 member colony of the species Eptesicus fuscus (big brown bat) is capable of consuming over 123,000 pest insects each summer. It is reasonable to assume that K. lanosa is like other members of its family with regard to its impact on local insect populations.
Ecosystem Impact: keystone species
All information in this category is based on other memmbers of the family Vespertilionidae. There is no information on the economic importance of K. lanosa.
The diet of E. fuscus specifically includes insects known to defoliate trees and the roots of grasses and other plants. These insects are pests in both orchards and soybean fields, and cause the spread of many plant diseases. One beetle reduces productivity by 10 to 13 percent, costs $15 to $25 per acre, and costs an estimated 33 billion dollars to American farmers each year. Yet an E. fuscus colony of about 150 animals can devastate 33 million of the beetles’ larvae each year. Because over 35 percent of its diet includes these insects, E. fuscus is considered to be very important for pest control. K. lanosa may perform a similar service by destroying insects.
Another member of the Vespertilionidae family, Antrozous pallidu, is also an important asset to ranchers. Pallid bats, A. pallidus, are known for consumption of grasshoppers and crickets. This species is another example of the importance of bats as insectivores in many ecosystems

While there is no information available on how K. lanosa communicates with conspecifics, it is known that all members of the subfamily (Microchiroptera) use echolocation to hunt.
Perception Channels: tactile ; acoustic ; ultrasound ; echolocation ; chemical
Kerivoula lanosa was originally thought to be restricted to the southeastern region of sub-saharan Africa. The species was recorded in southeastern Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Africa) and Zambia and south into Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Botswana. In 1988, these bats were discovered in Nigeria and western central Africa, including the counries of Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Gabon, and along the Ivory Coast. In general, K. lanosa is a rare, but widely spread species.
Biogeographic Regions: ethiopian (Native )
Kerivoula lanosa tend to be associated with aquatic environments, although some specimens have been collected in forested regions. They are usually found near rivers both in dry environments as well as well watered areas. It is believed that K. lanosa uses abandoned bird nests for shelter during the day, especially those of weavers.
Habitat Regions: temperate ; tropical
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland ; forest ; rainforest
Aquatic Biomes: rivers and streams; coastal
Members of this genus are all characterized by their grizzled, woolly, hair and buffy coloration. The hair of K. lanosa is curled, darker at the base than the tip, and extends onto the forearm and the fringes of the wings. The ventral surface, including the throat, is a much lighter shade of buff or white. Hairs on the interfemoral membrane tend to curve inward and have a hooked appearance. As in other members of Kerivoula, K. lanosa possess a high braincase that tends to rise very steeply from the rostrum. K. lanosa also has broad, pointed ears that have a funnel shape. A calcaneum supports the outer regions of the interfemoral membrane, which extends beyond the feet.
These animals have a mass ranging from 6 to 8 g. They are about 8 cm long.
Range mass: 6 to 8 g.
Average length: 8 cm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
(No information available).
No information is available on the reproductive habits of K. lanosa.
Reproduction has apparently not been well studied in this species, and the only information available is on the reproductive behavior of members of the family (Vespertilionidae). Membes of this family may produce one or two offspring after a gestation of 40 to 100 days.
Breeding interval: The breeding interval of these animals has not been reported.
Breeding season: The breeding season of these animals has not been reported.
Range number of offspring: 1 to 2.
Range gestation period: 40 to 100 days.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization ; viviparous
No information is available for K. lanosa. However, as in all mammals, we may assume that the mother provides the bulk of the parental care. Females nurse their offspring, as well as provide them with protection and grooming. Males of the genus Kerivoula may be associated with females and their young, although there is no direct evidence of male parental care.
Parental Investment: no parental involvement; female parental care ; pre-fertilization (Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-independence (Protecting: Female)

Die Kleine Wollfledermaus (Kerivoula lanosa) ist eine in Afrika vorkommende Fledermausart der Gattung der Wollfledermäuse.
Die Kleine Wollfledermaus ist eine kleine Fledermausart die im Mittel etwa 4,8 g wiegt und deren Gesamtlänge (Kopf bis Schwanzspitze) im Mittel etwa 76,1 mm, die Unterarmlänge etwa 31,5 mm beträgt. Das Haar ist sehr lang und lockig, die einzelnen Haare sind an der Wurzel dunkelbraun gefärbt und werden bis zur Spitze immer heller. Die Rücken- und Kopffärbung der Fledermaus erscheint hierdurch bräunlich bis gräulich. Unterseits ist das Fell weiß bis grau-weiß gefärbt. Die Flügel sind dunkelbraun und wenig behaart. Die Ohren sind trichterförmig und etwa 12 mm lang, der lange, schmale Tragus läuft spitz zu. Der Rand der Schwanzflughaut ist behaart, die Haare hier locken sich um den Rand der Flughaut nach innen, wodurch man die Kleine Wollfledermaus sowie die Schwesterart Bunte Wollfledermaus (Kerovoula argentata) eindeutig von anderen Fledermäusen in der Region unterscheiden kann.[1]
Nachweise der Kleinen Wollfledermaus liegen aus ganz Subsahara-Afrika vor. Im Westen kommt sie in Liberia und Guinea vor, im Osten reicht das Verbreitungsgebiet bis Kenia und Äthiopien. Des Weiteren kommt sie an der gesamten Küste Südafrikas und Mosambiks vor, auch aus Simbabwe und der Demokratischen Republik Kongo gibt es Nachweise.[2]
Die Datenlage über Kleine Wollfledermäuse ist gering, sodass keine gesicherten Erkenntnisse zur Ökologie der Art vorliegen. Kleine Wollfledermäuse scheinen Waldfledermäuse zu sein, da Nachweise der Art unter anderem in Galeriewäldern gelangen. Als Quartier werden unter anderem Nester von Weber- und Nektarvögeln angenommen. Über die Nahrungszusammensetzung der Art ist nichts bekannt, vermutlich jagt sie nah an der Vegetation.[1]
Die Art wurde von A. Smith 1847 unter dem Namen Vespertilio lanosus erstbeschrieben. Das Artepithon „lanosa“ ist griechisch und bedeutet „wollig“ und nimmt Bezug auf das lange, wollige Fell der Fledermäuse.[2] Je nach Autor werden zwei bis vier Unterarten unterschieden:[1][3]
Aufgrund des großen Verbreitungsgebiets wird die Art von der IUCN als nicht gefährdet („least concern“) eingestuft.[4]

The lesser woolly bat (Kerivoula lanosa) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Botswana, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and rarely Ethiopia.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, dry savanna, and moist savanna. Members of this species typically have a dark greyish brown fur with whitish tips scattered throughout.
The habitats that this bat lives are typically near water. Aquatic environments are generally inhabited, and when found in dryer climates such as forests or the savannah, they are generally near streams or in well watered areas.[3] Roosting sites are often important in the ecology of bats, as the bats are subject to the conditions of their roosting sites. The nests constructed by birds, such as speckle-fronted weaver, provide protection from predators and the elements. likely as a result of the benefits gained from roosting in these nests, the lesser woolly bats have been known to roost in abandoned nests previously inhabited by speckled weavers, scarlet-chested sunbirds, and several others. The average number of bats per nest is usually between 1 and 3. However, the property and survival advantages remain unstudied.[4]

Kerivoula lanosa (Smith, 1847) è un pipistrello della famiglia dei Vespertilionidi diffuso nell'Africa subsahariana.[1][2]
Pipistrello di piccole dimensioni, con la lunghezza totale tra 74 e 90 mm, la lunghezza dell'avambraccio tra 30 e 34 mm, la lunghezza della coda tra 30 e 42 mm, la lunghezza del piede tra 5 e 8 mm, la lunghezza delle orecchie tra 10 e 14 mm e un peso fino a 8 g.[3]
La pelliccia è lunga, fine, lanosa, arricciata e si estende sulla superficie dorsale degli avambracci e delle zampe. Le parti dorsali sono bruno-grigiastre scure, bruno-dorate o grigio chiare con la punta dei peli bianca od argentata che donano alla pelliccia un aspetto brizzolato, mentre le parti ventrali sono più chiare e più biancastre sul petto e l'addome. Il muso è lungo, appuntito e nascosto nel denso pelame facciale. Gli occhi sono piccolissimi. Le orecchie sono ben separate, marroni chiare e semi-trasparenti, a forma di imbuto e con una concavità sul bordo posteriore appena sotto l'estremità appuntita. Il trago è lungo, stretto, affusolato, con un piccolo incavo alla base e alcuni peli all'estremità. Le membrane alari variano dal grigio al marrone chiaro e sono semi-trasparenti. La lunga coda è completamente inclusa nell'ampio uropatagio, il quale ha il margine libero frangiato con peli uncinati disposti a pettine. Il cariotipo è 2n=28 FNa=50.
Emette ultrasuoni a bassa intensità con impulsi a frequenza modulata iniziale di 170 kHz e finale di 100 kHz.
Si rifugia nei nidi di uccelli come i tessitori o Nettarinidi.
Si nutre di insetti raccolti sulla vegetazione. Probabilmente è specializzata nella cattura di ragni.
Questa specie è diffusa nell'Africa subsahariana dalla Liberia ad ovest fino all'Etiopia centrale ad est ed il Sudafrica a sud.
Vive nelle foreste pluviali, boschi di Acacia e Commiphora, foreste sempreverdi, foreste ripariali, boschi di bambù fino a 1.300 metri di altitudine.
Sono state riconosciute 4 sottospecie:
La IUCN Red List, considerato il vasto areale e la popolazione presumibilmente numerosa, classifica K.lanosa come specie a rischio minimo (LC).[1]

Kerivoula lanosa[2][3] är en fladdermusart som först beskrevs av Andrew Smith 1847. Kerivoula lanosa ingår i släktet Kerivoula och familjen läderlappar.[4][5] IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som livskraftig.[1] Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life.[4] Wilson & Reeder (2005) skiljer mellan fyra underarter.[2]
Arten blir cirka 8 cm lång (inklusive svans) och väger 6 till 8 g. Den ulliga pälsen är på ovansidan brunaktig och på undersidan ljusare till vitaktig. Även vissa delar av flygmembranen är täckta med hår. Öronen liknar en tratt i utseende och de är vid ett ställe spetsig. Flygmembranen mellan bakbenen är fäst vid hälbenet.[6]
Kerivoula lanosa förekommer i stora delar av Afrika söder om Sahara. Den vistas i fuktiga eller torra skogar samt i savanner med träd.[1] Arten håller sig gärna nära vattenansamlingar som floder.[6]
Individerna vilar ofta i tomma fågelbon eller fågelholkar, till exempel av vävare (Ploceidae).[1] De jagar på natten flygande insekter med hjälp av ekolokalisering. Troligen har arten samma fortplantningssätt som andra läderlappar. De föder vanligen en eller två ungar per kull.[6]
