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 ...

An updated synthesis of and outstanding questions in the olfactory and vomeronasal systems in bats: Genetics asks questions only anatomy can answer

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.

Identifying the causes and consequences of assembly gaps using a multiplatform genome assembly of a bird‐of‐paradise

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.

Phenotyping in the era of genomics: MaTrics—a digital character matrix to document mammalian phenotypic traits [PDF]

, 2021
A new and uniquely structured matrix of mammalian phenotypes, MaTrics (Mammalian Traits for Comparative Genomics) in a digital form is presented. By focussing on mammalian species for which genome assemblies are available, MaTrics provides an interface ...

Towards Complete and Error-Free Genome Assemblies of all Vertebrate Species [PDF]

, 2021
High-quality and complete reference genome assemblies are fundamental for the application of genomics to biology, disease, and biodiversity conservation. However, such assemblies are available for only a few non-microbial species1–4.

Gene expression changes during the evolution of the tetrapod limb [PDF]

, 2022
Major changes in the vertebrate anatomy have preceded the conquest of land by the members of this taxon, and continuous changes in limb shape and use have occurred during the later radiation of tetrapods.

Remnants of an ancient deltaretrovirus in the genomes of horseshoe aats (Rhinolophidae) [PDF]

, 2018
Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences provide a rich source of information about the long-term interactions between retroviruses and their hosts. However, most ERVs are derived from a subset of retrovirus groups, while ERVs derived from certain other ...

Bat genomes: unveiling the secrets of their superpowers [PDF]

, 2021
If you watch and listen carefully on a quiet summer's night in the open air, you might perceive some dark shadows flying around or hear some high-pitch chirps. Yes, you have probably guessed it right.
