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

, 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

European Bat Lyssavirus in Scottish Bats

Emerging 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.

Optimizing sampling design to deal with mist-net avoidance in Amazonian birds and bats [PDF]

, 2013
Mist netting is a widely used technique to sample bird and bat assemblages. However, captures often decline with time because animals learn and avoid the locations of nets. This avoidance or net shyness can substantially decrease sampling efficiency.

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.

Filoviruses and bats [PDF]

Microbiology Australia, 2017
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) While Reston and Lloviu viruses have never been associated with human disease, the other filoviruses cause outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever characterised by person-to-person transmission and high case fatality ratios.

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.

Absent or low rate of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus of bats (Chiroptera) [PDF]

, 2007
Bats are the only flying mammals and have well developed navigation abilities for 3D-space. Even bats with comparatively small home ranges cover much larger territories than rodents, and long-distance migration by some species is unique among small ...

Experimental Lagos bat virus infection in straw-colored fruit bats: A suitable model for bat rabies in a natural reservoir species.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Rabies is a fatal neurologic disease caused by lyssavirus infection. Bats are important natural reservoir hosts of various lyssaviruses that can be transmitted to people.
