Bats as instructive animal models for studying longevity and aging. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciEvery 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.

Bat Biology, Genomes, and the Bat1K Project: To Generate Chromosome-Level Genomes for All Living Bat Species [PDF]
Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2018 Bats are unique among mammals, possessing some of the rarest mammalian adaptations, including true self-powered flight, laryngeal echolocation, exceptional longevity, unique immunity, contracted genomes, and vocal learning. They provide key ecosystem services, pollinating tropical plants, dispersing seeds, and controlling insect pest populations, thus

The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 11, Page 2765-2780, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The extensive diversity observed in bat nasal chemosensory systems has been well‐documented at the histological level. Understanding how this diversity evolved and developing hypotheses as to why particular patterns exist require a phylogenetic perspective, which was first outlined in the work of anatomist Kunwar Bhatnagar.

Bat responses to climate change: a systematic review
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 19-33, February 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to climate change is key to informing vulnerability assessments and designing effective conservation strategies, yet research efforts on wildlife responses to climate change fail to deliver a representative overview due to inherent biases.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 263-286, January 2021., 2021 Abstract Genome assemblies are currently being produced at an impressive rate by consortia and individual laboratories. The low costs and increasing efficiency of sequencing technologies now enable assembling genomes at unprecedented quality and contiguity.

Wellcome Open ResearchWe present a genome assembly from an individual male Saccopteryx bilineata (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Emballonuridae). The genome sequence is 2.62Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.We developed high‐precision genome assemblies for two endangered avian species in Japan, the Okinawa rail and the Japanese golden eagle, using a hybrid approach combining short‐ and long‐read whole genome sequencing technologies. This method improved assembly contiguity, reduced missing data, and enhanced completeness, improving the results of ...

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.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.

Cryptic hybridization between the ancient lineages of Natterer's bat (Myotis nattereri)
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 13, July 2024.Abstract Studying hybrid zones that form between morphologically cryptic taxa offers valuable insights into the mechanisms of cryptic speciation and the evolution of reproductive barriers. Although hybrid zones have long been the focus of evolutionary studies, the awareness of cryptic hybrid zones increased recently due to rapidly growing evidence of ...
