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 ...

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Taxonomical and distributional considerations for the Artibeus species (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from the Tres Marias Islands, Mexico

Barbastella
The controversial taxonomy of the Artibeus lituratus-intermedius complex and the lack of genetic studies in the Artibeus specimens reported in the Tres Marias Islands (TMI) have caused the taxonomic identity of these specimens to remain ambiguous. During

Conjoined Parasitic Twins (Cephalo‐Thoracopagus Parasiticus) in a Free Ranging Northern Bat (Eptesicus nilssonii): A Micro‐CT Anatomic and Genetic Survey

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The detailed anatomical situation of male stillborn cephalo‐thoracopagus twins in a wild ranging northern bat (Eptesicus nilssonii) is described by means of full body micro‐CT scans in high resolution with three‐dimensional computational reconstruction.

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.

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.

Competitor Richness Outweighs Climate and Land Cover in Explaining Abundance Variation of a Neotropical Fruit Bat

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding which processes regulate spatial variation in species abundance across their ranges is key in ecology. Species abundances may be affected by several factors, such as climate, elevation, land cover, species interactions and habitat protection status. However, few studies have focused on these effects synergistically across species

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
