Effects of fungal infection on the survival of parasitic bat flies
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Parasites are able to alter numerous aspects of their hosts’ life history, behaviour and distribution. One central question in parasitology is to determine the degree of impact that parasites have on their hosts.

Viruses, 2021 Bat flies (Hippoboscoidea: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of bats. We collected streblid bat flies from the New World (México) and the Old World (Uganda), and used metagenomics to identify their viruses. In México,

Paradoxical popups: Why are they hard to catch?
, 2008 Even professional baseball players occasionally find it difficult to gracefully approach seemingly routine pop-ups. This paper describes a set of towering pop-ups with trajectories that exhibit cusps and loops near the apex.

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

Specialization of bat-fly interactions at different elevations in a montane forest of northern Peru
ParasitologyHippoboscoidea flies exhibit highly specific ectoparasitic relationships with bats, shaped by both intrinsic factors (e.g. bat behaviour) and extrinsic factors (e.g. land use).

Relationship among bats, parasitic bat flies, and associated pathogens in Korea
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Bats are hosts for many ectoparasites and act as reservoirs for several infectious agents, some of which exhibit zoonotic potential. Here, species of bats and bat flies were identified and screened for microorganisms that could be mediated by ...

Social calls of flying big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Vocalizations serving a variety of social functions have been reported in many bat species (Order Chiroptera). While echolocation by big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) has been the subject of extensive study, calls used by this species for communication have received comparatively little research attention.
