Within-guild dietary discrimination from 3-D textural analysis of tooth microwear in insectivorous mammals [PDF]
, 2013 Resource exploitation and competition for food are important selective pressures in animal evolution. A number of recent investigations have focused on linkages between diversification, trophic morphology and diet in bats, partly because their roosting ...

Diversity of Bartonella and Rickettsia spp. in Bats and Their Blood-Feeding Ectoparasites from South Africa and Swaziland. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In addition to several emerging viruses, bats have been reported to host multiple bacteria but their zoonotic threats remain poorly understood, especially in Africa where the diversity of bats is important.

Isolation of a novel orthobunyavirus from bat flies (Eucampsipoda africana). [PDF]
J Gen Virol, 2017 The Bunyaviridae family comprises viruses causing diseases of public and veterinary health importance, including viral haemorrhagic and arboviral fevers. We report the isolation, identification and genome characterization of a novel orthobunyavirus, named Wolkberg virus (WBV), from wingless bat fly ectoparasites (Eucampsipoda africana) of Egyptian ...

Bat flies: source of supplement nutrients for an endemic Malagasy fruit bat
Tropical Zoology, 2022 Among frugivorous vertebrates, the nutritional composition of consumed fruits often needs supplementing by other food types, such as leaves, pollen or invertebrates, to meet dietary requirements. The endemic Malagasy fruit bat, Rousettus madagascariensis (Pteropodidae), actively feeds on their dipteran fly ectoparasites, principally of the family ...

Bartonella species in bats (Chiroptera) and bat flies (Nycteribiidae) from Nigeria, West Africa. [PDF]
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis, 2014 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Previous and ongoing studies have incriminated bats as reservoirs of several emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. Most of these studies, however, have focused on viral agents and neglected important bacterial pathogens. To date, there has been no report investigating the prevalence of Bartonella spp.

Rotational accelerations stabilize leading edge vortices on revolving fly wings [PDF]
, 2009 The aerodynamic performance of hovering insects is largely explained by the presence of a stably attached leading edge vortex (LEV) on top of their wings. Although LEVs have been visualized on real, physically modeled, and simulated insects, the physical
