Renal function in the neotropical bat, Artibeus jamaicensis [PDF]

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1983
1. When feeding on figs (Ficus insipida), the bat Artibeus jamaicensis increases dietary sodium density while decreasing potassium density by primarily extracting and ingesting pulp juices rather than other parts of the fruit. 2. Based on urine osmotic pressure, these bats are uniformly dehydrated when they leave day roosts and become rapidly ...

Biological clocks as age estimation markers in animals: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 1972-2011, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of conservationists frequently relies upon the ability to assign animals to functionally relevant age classes to model population fitness.

An updated synthesis of and outstanding questions in the olfactory and vomeronasal systems in bats: Genetics asks questions only anatomy can answer

The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 11, Page 2765-2780, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The extensive diversity observed in bat nasal chemosensory systems has been well‐documented at the histological level. Understanding how this diversity evolved and developing hypotheses as to why particular patterns exist require a phylogenetic perspective, which was first outlined in the work of anatomist Kunwar Bhatnagar.
