European Bat Lyssavirus in Scottish Bats

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We report the first seroprevalence study of the occurrence of specific antibodies to European bat lyssavirus type 2 (EBLV-2) in Daubenton's bats. Bats were captured from 19 sites across eastern and southern Scotland. Samples from 198 Daubenton's bats, 20 Natterer's bats, and 6 Pipistrelle's bats were tested for EBLV-2.

Distribution of catecholamine fibers in the cochlear nucleus of horseshoe bats and mustache bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The glyoxylic-acid-induced fluorescence technique was applied to demonstrate patterns of catecholaminergic innervation within the auditory brainstem of echolocating bats and the house mouse.

Audition in vampire bats, Desmodus rotundus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
1. Within the tonotopic organization of the inferior colliculus two frequency ranges are well represented: a frequency range within that of the echolocation signals from 50 to 100 kHz, and a frequency band below that of the echolocation sounds, from 10 ...

Hearing Characteristics and Doppler Shift Compensation in South Indian CF-FM Bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
1. Echolocation pulses, Doppler shift compensation behaviour under laboratory conditions and frequency response characteristics of hearing were recorded inRhinolophus rouxi, Hipposideros speoris andHipposideros bicolor. 2.

Size constancy in bat biosonar? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Perception and encoding of object size is an important feature of sensory systems. In the visual system object size is encoded by the visual angle (visual aperture) on the retina, but the aperture depends on the distance of the object. As object distance

Optimizing passive acoustic sampling of bats in forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Passive acoustic methods are increasingly used in biodiversity research and monitoring programs because they are cost-effective and permit the collection of large datasets.

The “Vampire Bat” [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1883
KINDLY permit me to ask for a further explanation from Mr. Geo. J. Romanes about the vampire bat, in regard to which he says in his criticism of “Zoological Sketches” (Oswald): “Mr. Bates says (I presume it is a clerical error giving Mr. Belt as the authority) the vampire, however, is the most harmless of all bats.” Yet he, Mr.

Perceptual strategies in active and passive hearing of neotropical bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Basic spectral and temporal sound properties, such as frequency content and timing, are evaluated by the auditory system to build an internal representation of the external world and to generate auditory guided behaviour. Using echolocating bats as model

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Object-oriented echo perception and cortical representation in echolocating bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Echolocating bats can identify three-dimensional objects exclusively through the analysis of acoustic echoes of their ultrasonic emissions. However, objects of the same structure can differ in size, and the auditory system must achieve a size-invariant ...
