A Mutual Information Based Sequence Distance For Vertebrate Phylogeny Using Complete Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]

, 2007
Traditional sequence distances require alignment. A new mutual information based sequence distance without alignment is defined in this paper. This distance is based on compositional vectors of DNA sequences or protein sequences from complete genomes ...

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

Bat Distribution and Habitat Protection Degree Along an Elevational Gradient in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We aim to identify areas with greater favourability for bat occurrence in the Serra da Mantiqueira, southeastern Brazil, analyse gaps in bat distribution and evaluate the level of protection of areas with the greatest bat diversity. Location Serra da Mantiqueira, Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Taxon Bats.

Ecological-based insights into bat populations in the Yucatán Peninsula under a One Health approach: coexistence or biophobia

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The Yucatán Peninsula (YP) is home to approximately 60 bat species with differing feeding strategists that, collectively, are fundamental for the health of tropical forests. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, biophobic (aversive) responses towards bats were

Bat (Chiroptera) assemblages in three Cerrado fragments of Mato Grosso do Sul, southwestern Brazil [PDF]

Check List, 2014
Despite its high species richness and large area, the Brazilian Cerrado is a generally undervalued and under-protected biome. There are relatively few published studies of bat assemblages in this area.

First Evidence of Fallen Fruit Feeding by Bats Revealed by Camera Traps in a Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
Ground foraging among volant frugivores is an underappreciated aspect of behavioral flexibility. Here we report the first evidence of fruit bats feeding on fallen fruit, captured by camera traps in a Costa Rican tropical dry forest. These observations provide insight into the flexibility and mechanisms of coexistence among frugivores.
