Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.We quantified the fur color of live eastern red bats (Lasiurus borealis) and demonstrated that they are sexually dichromatic; males had redder, more saturated, and lighter pelages than females. Additionally, juveniles were darker than adults. In an exploratory post‐hoc analysis, we showed that body mass (i.e., an index of body condition in bats ...

Phylogenetics and Phylogeography of the Artibeus jamaicensis Complex Based on Cytochrome-bDNA Sequences [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2007 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The phylogenetics and phylogeography of the Jamaican fruit-eating bat (Artibeus jamaicensis) were examined based on analysis of DNA sequence variation in the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene for 176 individuals representing all 13 subspecies of A. jamaicensis (sensu Simmons 2005).

A new centrality index designed for multilayer networks
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 204-213, January 2024.Abstract Since its inception, the keystone species concept has become a central theoretical framework in ecology. Among many approaches, keystones have been operationalized in natural and human environments using centrality metrics applied to monolayer networks.

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Ecoepidemiology is an emerging field that attempts to explain how biotic, environmental, and even social factors influence the dynamics of infectious diseases. Particularly in vector‐borne diseases, the study under this approach offers us an overview of the pathogens, vectors, and hosts that coexist in a given region and their ecological determinants ...

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Infection with the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus typically causes severe hepatopancreatic damage in Penaeus vannamei, often resulting in acute shrimp mortality. Therefore, protecting the shrimp’s hepatopancreas is crucial for enhancing their disease resistance.

Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in native and reforested areas in Rancho Alegre, Paraná, Brazil
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010 Generally, natural environments have been transformed into small forest remnants, with the consequent habitat loss and species extinction. The North Paraná State is not an exception, since only 2 to 4% of the original ecosystem occurs in small fragments ...

Transcriptomic Signatures of Tacaribe Virus-Infected Jamaican Fruit Bats
mSphere, 2017 Tacaribe virus (TCRV) is a mammalian arenavirus that was first isolated from artibeus bats in the 1950s. Subsequent experimental infection of Jamaican fruit bats (Artibeus jamaicensis) caused a disease similar to that of naturally infected bats. Although
