Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Suitability of DNA extracted from archival specimens of fruit-eating bats of the genus Artibeus (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) for polymerase chain reaction and sequencing analysis

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
To establish a technique which minimized the effects of fixation on the extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed tissues preserved in scientific collections we extracted DNA samples from fixed tissues using different methods and evaluated the effect of the ...

Use of synanthropic roosts by bats in Europe and North America

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 3, July 2025.
Although bats often use buildings for roosting, the true proportion of their populations roosting in buildings is not known. Based on review of radio‐tracking studies, we found that 2× more species and 17× times higher proportion of populations use SRs in Europe than in North America, respectively.

TAXONOMIC STATUS OF ARTIBEUS JAMAICENSIS TRIOMYLUS INFERRED FROM MOLECULAR AND MORPHOMETRIC DATA [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2004
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The taxonomic status of Artibeus jamaicensis triomylus was evaluated by mitochondrial cytochrome-b sequences, as well as cranial morphometric comparisons with 4 other subspecies of the A. jamaicensis complex and 5 species of large Artibeus.

Prenatal growth patterns of the upper jaw complex with implications for laryngeal echolocation in bats

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 3, Page 345-362, March 2025.
This study provides new evidence of heterochronic shifts in craniofacial development and growth across bat phylogeny. Analysis of ontogenetic allometric trajectories of the upper jaw complex revealed faster growth of maxillary, vomer, and palatine bones in yangochiropterans compared to other bats, especially rhinolophoids.

Bats as instructive animal models for studying longevity and aging

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1541, Issue 1, Page 10-23, November 2024.
Every organism's lifespan depends on the balance of protective and regenerative versus degenerative processes. Bats (Chiroptera) live far longer than is predicted by their small body size. Recent studies explore mechanisms underlying their longevity and have raised the question of how their aging compares to that of equally long‐lived primates.
