Bats increased foraging activity at experimental prey patches near hibernacula
Emerging infectious diseases in wildlife can threaten vulnerable host populations. Actions targeting habitat improvements to aid population resilience and recovery may be beneficial long‐term strategies, yet testing the efficacy of such strategies before

Regional recaptures of bats (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) ringed in Eastern Ukraine
Bats are volant and highly mobile mammals that could cover up to 2000 km seasonally (one-way migration). But the level of mobility among different roosts sites in a breeding season, and among breeding areas and hibernation sites is poorly studied.

Vegetation is an underutilized medium for environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling. eDNA methods leveraging water as a substrate exclude application to many terrestrial species.

In this letter we revisit the Standard Model predictions for $${\mathcal {B}}(B\rightarrow K^{(*)}\nu {\bar{\nu }})$$ B ( B → K ( ∗ ) ν ν ¯ ) and discuss the opportunities that open up when combining its partial decay rate with that of $$B\rightarrow K^{(

While Reston and Lloviu viruses have never been associated with human disease, the other filoviruses cause outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever characterised by person-to-person transmission and high case fatality ratios. Cumulative evidence suggests that bats are the most likely reservoir hosts of the filoviruses. Ecological investigations following Marburg

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats are unique among extant flying animals, as they have compliant wings and an echolocation sensory system that distinguish them from birds and insects. Flying in the dark, guided by echolocation, has influenced the aerodynamics of bat flight perhaps more than previously realized and resulted in a ...

Making a bat: The developmental basis of bat evolution [PDF]
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Abstract Bats are incredibly diverse, both morphologically and taxonomically. Bats are the only mammalian group to have achieved powered flight, an adaptation that is hypothesized to have allowed them to colonize various and diverse ecological niches.
