Seasonal variation and host sex affect bat–bat fly interaction networks in the Amazonian savannahs [PDF]
, 2023 Bats are the second-most diverse group of mammals in the world, and bat flies are their main parasites. However, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding these antagonistic interactions, especially since diverse factors such as seasonality and host ...

Waiting for a Bat to Fly By (in Polynomial Time) [PDF]
Combinatorics, Probability and Computing, 2006 We observe returns of a simple random walk on a finite graph to a fixed node, and would like to infer properties of the graph, in particular properties of the spectrum of the transition matrix. This is not possible in general, but at least the eigenvalues can be recovered under fairly general conditions, e.g.

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 ...

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

Genetic Diversity of Bartonella spp. in Cave-Dwelling Bats and Bat Flies, Costa Rica, 2018
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 To determine Bartonella spp. dynamics, we sampled bats and bat flies across 15 roosts in Costa Rica. PCR indicated prevalence of 10.7% in bats and 29.0% in ectoparasite pools.

Ultrasonic Vocalizations Of Flying Bats Monitored By Radiotelemetry [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1992 ABSTRACT Ultrasonic vocalizations of flying bats were effectively monitored with radiotelemetry. We describe a device light enough to be carried by an 11g bat for periods of up to 1h. It transmitted signals adequate for fine frequency analysis within a range of approximately 3 m.
