Knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes by residents in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan in connection with bats

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2022
Background Fruit bats play an important role in pollination and seed dispersal, and their conservation is important to maintain the productivity of some crops and natural ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes,

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

, 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 ...

Bat selfies: photographic surveys of flying bats

Mammalian 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]

Subterranean 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

Frontiers 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.

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

, 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.

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

, 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

Bat response to differing fire severity in mixed-conifer forest California, USA [PDF]

, 2013
Wildlife response to natural disturbances such as fire is of conservation concern to managers, policy makers, and scientists, yet information is scant beyond a few well-studied groups (e.g., birds, small mammals).

Bats experience age-related hearing loss (presbycusis)

Life Science Alliance, 2023
Bats exhibited age-related hearing loss. Bats are exposed to immense conspecific noise, but the frequency-dependent hearing loss was not correlated to the noise.
