On the Fly: Tritrophic Associations of Bats, Bat Flies, and Fungi [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Parasitism is one of the most diverse and abundant modes of life, and of great ecological and evolutionary importance. Notwithstanding, large groups of parasites remain relatively understudied.

Descriptive ecology of bat flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) associated with vampire bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in the cerrado of Central Brazil [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011 We studied the ectoparasitic bat flies of three phyllostomid vampire bat species. Bats were collected monthly from April 2004-March 2005 in caves within the Cafuringa Environmental Protection Area in the Federal District of Brazil.

Exploring the relationship between bats (Mammalia, Chiroptera) and ectoparasitic flies (Diptera, Hippoboscoidea) of the Orinoquia Region in South America [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 Bat flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) have been used to study co-evolutionary patterns between ectoparasites and bats. In the world, Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are represented by approximately 276 and 237 species, respectively.

Bat point counts: a novel bat sampling method shines light on flying bat communities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Emerging technologies based on the detection of electro-magnetic energy offer promising opportunities for sampling biodiversity. We exploit their potential bye showing here how they can be used in bat point counts - a novel method to sample flying bats - to overcome shortcomings of traditional sampling methods, and to maximise sampling coverage and ...

Bat selfies: photographic surveys of flying bats
Mammalian Biology, 2022 AbstractThe recent pandemic and other environmental concerns have resulted in restrictions on research and surveys involving capture and handling bats. While acoustic surveys have been widely used as an alternative survey method, in this study, we show how photographic surveys can offer an important contribution to study and survey bats.

Nycteribiid bat flies (Arthropoda, Insecta, Diptera, Nycteribiidae) of Kenya [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 Bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) are hematophagous ectoparasites of bats characterized by viviparous pupiparity and generally high host specificity. Nycteribiid bat flies are wingless, morphologically constrained, and are most diverse in
