Baseband version of the bat-inspired spectrogram correlation and transformation receiver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Echolocating bats have evolved an excellent ability to detect and discriminate targets in highly challenging environments. They have had more than 50 million years of evolution to optimise their echolocation system with respect to their surrounding ...

A stereotaxic method for small animals using experimentally determined reference profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
In bats conventional stereotaxic methods do not yield sufficient positional accuracy to allow reliable recordings and tracer injections in subnuclei of the auditory system. In a newly developed stereotaxic system experimentally measured patterns of skull

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.

Serological evidence of arenavirus circulation among fruit bats in Trinidad.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Tacaribe virus (TCRV) was isolated in the 1950s from artibeus bats captured on the island of Trinidad. The initial characterization of TCRV suggested that artibeus bats were natural reservoir hosts.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Florida's Bats: Florida Bonneted Bat

open access: yesEDIS, 2016
The Florida bonneted bat is one of only two endangered species of bat in Florida and the state’s only endemic flying mammal (“endemic” means that it is found nowhere in the world but in Florida). With a 20-inch wingspan, it is Florida’s largest bat and the third largest of all 48 species of bats in the United States. The Florida bonneted bat was listed

Ensemble composition and activity levels of insectivorous bats in response to management intensification in coffee agroforestry systems. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Shade coffee plantations have received attention for their role in biodiversity conservation. Bats are among the most diverse mammalian taxa in these systems; however, previous studies of bats in coffee plantations have focused on the largely herbivorous
