The pale spear-nosed bat: A neuromolecular and transgenic model for vocal learning. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2022
Vocal learning is a key trait in the evolution of speech. Mammalian models for vocal learning are rare, and bats present a promising study system. We utilized the pale spear‐nosed bat to generate new, high‐quality genome annotations, examine structure and gene expression patterns in the brain, and created the first successful transgenic bats by ...

Bats as instructive animal models for studying longevity and aging. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
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.
