Rhinolophus rex G. M. Allen 1923
No full textRhinolophus rex G. M. Allen, 1923 King horseshoe bat Rhinolophus paradoxolophus (Bourret, 1951) Bourret’s horseshoe bat These taxa appear to be very closely related and there has been some disagreement in the literature regarding whether or not they represent discrete species. For these reasons they are considered together here. Rhinolophus rex has previously been separated from R. paradoxolophus on the basis of small differences in external, cranial and dental measurements with the former considered to be the fractionally larger species. For example, R. paradoxolophus has a forearm length of 50.5–57 mm, R. rex 56.5–63 mm (Csorba et al., 2003). In our surveys, several bats captured in Guangxi had forearm lengths that would classify them as R. paradoxolophus, while our Yunnan bat had a forearm length that fits the measurements for R. rex. Despite these size differences, these bats called at similar call frequencies. Francis (in Eger and Fenton 2003) record- ed R. paradoxolophus at 22–25 kHz in Lao PDR, and hence it appears that the call frequencies used by R. paradoxolophus and R. rex are identical. Eger and Fenton (2003) recorded R. paradoxolophus at 43 kHz in China, but presumably measured the third harmonic of a signal with a fundamental at about 14 kHz. We consider that the small differences in body size are inadequate descriptors of taxonomic distinctiveness between R. paradoxolophus and R. rex, and given that their echolocation calls are very similar we suggest they are probably the same taxon. Rhinolophus paradoxolophus occurs at more southerly locations than R. rex, and the forms are probably best recognized as geographical races (subspecies). Because R. rex (1923) was named before R. paradoxolophus (1951) we suggest that the taxa are synonymised under the name R. rex and considered as one species. An account of the biology of R. paradoxolophus is given by Eger and Fenton (2003). Rhinolophus rex FA — 51.6–57.3 mm, mass — 10.8–14 g. Four males and 10 females were captured in Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan. Rhinolophus rex calls at a very low frequency, FMAXE 23.7–26.4 kHz, with calls dominated by the second harmonic. Previous records from China (for R. rex): Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan (Zhang, 1997; Wang, 2003). Ecological Notes This species is restricted to southern provinces where it is only encountered in small numbers in caves. Echolocation calls are audible at close range to the unaided ear.Published as part of Zhang, Libiao, Jones, Gareth, Zhang, Jinshuo, Zhu, Guangjian & Parsons, Stuart, 2009, Recent surveys of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from China.

Alan Parsons' art & science of sound recording: the book
No full textTHE ART AND SCIENCE OF SOUND RECORDING THE BOOK More than simply the book of the award-winning DVD set, Art & Science of Sound Recording takes legendary engineer, producer, and artist Alan Parsons' approaches to sound recording to the next level. In book form, Parsons has the space to include more technical background information, more detailed diagrams, plus a complete set of course notes on each of the 24 topics, from "The Brief History of Recording" to the now-classic "Dealing with Disasters." Written with the DVD's co producer, musician, and author Julian Colbeck, ASSR offers readers a classic "big picture" view of modern recording technology in conjunction with an almost encyclopedic list of specific techniques, processes, and equipment. For all its heft and authority - authored by a man trained at London's famed Abbey Road studios in the 1970s - ASSR is also written in plain English and is packed with priceless anecdotes from Alan Parsons' own career working with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and countless others. Not just informative, but also highly entertaining and inspirational, ASSR, the Book is the perfect platform on which to build expertise in the art and science of sound recording
