Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 4, July 2024.The role of archeological zones in biological conservation has been highlighted because they restrict land‐use change, size, and maintenance of upstanding vegetation. We found 23 species from six families and seven guilds, representing 53% of all bat species known from the Yucatan state, including two endangered species for Mexico.

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).

Rapid taxonomic categorization of short, abundant virus sequences for ecological analyses
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.We sampled 1086 bats from two, adjacent Puerto Rican caves and tested them for infection by herpesviruses, resulting in 3131 short, viral sequences. Using percent identity of nucleotides and a machine learning algorithm (affinity propagation), we categorized herpesviruses into 43 operational taxonomic units (OTUs).

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 ...

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 ...
