Bat selfies: photographic surveys of flying bats

open access: yesMammalian 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.

The distribution of bat species across the underground sites of Georgia [PDF]

open access: yesSubterranean Biology
In Georgia, investigations of bat species using caves have been conducted since the beginning of the 20th century. However, robust knowledge is still largely unavailable, as only about 15% of the roughly 2,000 underground sites have been surveyed for ...

The difference in the composition of gut microbiota is greater among bats of different phylogenies than among those with different dietary habits

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Bats have a very long evolutionary history and are highly differentiated in their physiological functions. Results of recent studies suggest effects of some host factors (e.g., phylogeny and dietary habit) on their gut microbiota.

Fish and amphibians as bat predators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Although bats (Chiroptera) belong to the most diverse mammalian orders, study of diversity of their natural predators has been seriously neglected for a long time.

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Remnants of an ancient deltaretrovirus in the genomes of horseshoe aats (Rhinolophidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences provide a rich source of information about the long-term interactions between retroviruses and their hosts. However, most ERVs are derived from a subset of retrovirus groups, while ERVs derived from certain other ...

The crystal structure of urea oxalic acid (2:1) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1972
The crystal structure of urea oxalic acid, 2[CO(NH2)2].(COOH)2 has been determined using three-dimensional X-ray data, collected on an automatic diffractometer. The space group is P21/c. The lattice constants are: a = 5.058 (3), b = 12.400 (3), c = 6.964

Genetic diversity, infection prevalence, and possible transmission routes of Bartonella spp. in vampire bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Bartonella spp. are globally distributed bacteria that cause endocarditis in humans and domestic animals. Recent work has suggested bats as zoonotic reservoirs of some human Bartonella infections; however, the ecological and spatiotemporal patterns of ...

open access: yes, 2017
New Michigan county records for Ischnopsyllidae, Cimicidae, Spinturnicidae, Macro- nyssidae, and Trombiculidae from bats are given along with two new bat/parasite records for the United ...

Can Farmers and Bats Co-exist? Farmer Attitudes, Knowledge, and Experiences with Bats in Belize

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2020
Bats (Chiroptera) are often viewed negatively by the public. Negative public perceptions of bats may hinder efforts to conserve declining populations.
