- Thanks for the review! I'll apply any changes here also to the four other articles on former manavi bats, which are very similar. Ucucha 09:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm curious, why link Madagascar but not Comoros? I'd link both as the latter is pretty esoteric...- Possibly because Anjouan is already linked. But that's not a very strong argument, and I'll add a link.
- have resulted in the recognition of much hidden diversity in bats of the genus Miniopterus -ooh, a bit ungainly.
I think it can be reworded better but an alternative doesn't immediately spring to mind.I had a go.- Much better.

- I am presuming this is another species about which little is known about diet, reproduction and social behaivour...?
- Yes. A specific problem is that anything published before 2009 is likely to refer to a mixture of aelleni, griveaudi, brachytragos, and perhaps another species that hasn't been named yet. Ucucha 09:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, then is it possible to discuss that at all? i.e. mention any data but warn that it applies to all species maybe?
- I plan to cover that in an overview article on Malagasy Miniopterus. I think it's better placed there, as no one has actually linked those data to aelleni. Ucucha 17:44, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

More to come. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 04:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review; I've edited the article in accordance with your suggestions. The sources aren't specific about how closely together the various small Miniopterus occur in Namoroka (and one of the four has not yet been described). However, M. aelleni, M. griveaudi, and M. brachytragos are all listed from a single site within Namoroka (RNI de Namoroka, Forêt d’Ambovonomby, 26 km NW Andranomavo, 16°28.2′S, 45°20.9′E, 200 m).

- Alrighty, if "occur" is as specific as the literature gets, then that's what we'll have to use. In the past, authors have often responded underneath individual concerns to indicate that they have been addressed or to leave comments as to why they feel particular changes are unnecessary. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 02:52, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Others prefer for their comments not to be broken up, but I assume you're not among those, so I've responded inline above now. Ucucha 12:20, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
