The complete mitochondrial genome of Nycteribia parvula Speiser, 1901 (Diptera, Nycteribiidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
Species of the family Nycteribiidae are blood-sucking ectoparasites that parasitize bats. To further enrich the molecular data of species in the family Nycteribiidae, the complete mitochondrial genome of Nycteribia parvula was sequenced for the first ...

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Viral Zoonoses That Fly with Bats: A Review

MANTER: Journal of Parasite Biodiversity, 2016
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Emerging infectious diseases are a growing threat to human health and a great challenge for global medical attention systems. Governmental agencies in tropical regions with abundant zoonotic pathogens should implement an active vigilance/monitoring model in bat reservoir populations because of their ...

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Developing a data-driven framework to predict the compressive strength of manufactured sand and fly ash concrete under varying curing ages

Discover Sustainability
The depletion of river sand supplies due to overexploitation and illegal sand mining has become a growing concern. Additionally, the production of one ton of Portland cement, the primary binder in concrete, releases an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide

Ecology of bat flies in Singapore: A study on the diversity, infestation bias and host specificity (Diptera: Nycteribiidae)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Bat flies are highly-specialized, hematophagous arthropods that are globally ubiquitous. There is little published research on bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) in Singapore and understanding the diversity of nycteribiids, host association and ...

Flying bats in Guam – the cause of the complex

Advances in Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation, 2002
In this issue we are pleased to publish an interview with Drs Oliver Sacks and Paul Cox, following their recent research which suggested that eating flying foxes was responsible for an isolated cluster of ALS-parkinsonian-dementia complex found in the Guam peninsula. As an interesting counterpoint to this article, we are also publishing a commentary by
