Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix II. IUCN/SSC Action Plan (1992) - Not Threatened. IUCN 2003 - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
CITES: Appendix II under Pteropus, per 2013 Checklist of CITES species: Index of CITES species published with amendments to the Appendices and changes in standard scientific nomenclature following the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Bangkok, 2013). For current status see CITES.org
Comment:
Comments: niger species group. Reviewed by Peterson et al. (1995); also see Bergmans (1990). Some authors have recognized princeps as a subspecies, but this has not been supported in recent analyses; see Bergmans (1990) and Peterson et al. (1995)...
Comment:
Because Wilson and Reeder (1993) did not treat names established in E. Geoffroy (1803) as available, Koopman (1993) attributed authorship of rufus to Tiedemann (1808, Zool., v.1, Allgemeine Zool., Mensch Saugthiere, Landshut, p.535.), but rufus Tiedemann is a junior synonym of niger Kerr; see Grubb (2001a) and Opinion 2005 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (2002b)
