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

Use of synanthropic roosts by bats in Europe and North America
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.
