Parallel evolution of KCNQ4 in echolocating bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 High-frequency hearing is required for echolocating bats to locate, range and identify objects, yet little is known about its molecular basis. The discovery of a high-frequency hearing-related gene, KCNQ4, provides an opportunity to address this question.

Long-term and persistent vocal plasticity in adult bats. [PDF]
, 2019 Bats exhibit a diverse and complex vocabulary of social communication calls some of which are believed to be learned during development. This ability to produce learned, species-specific vocalizations - a rare trait in the animal kingdom - requires a ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Combining a biomimetic soft‐robot with deep‐learning data analytics sheds light on a unique peripheral dynamics seen in the biosonar system of bats: Bats modulate their ultrasonic biosonar signals upon emission as well as reception with variable, yet highly coordinated motion patterns of their noseleaves and pinnae.

Florida's Bats: Velvety Free-Tailed Bat
EDIS, 2016 The velvety free-tailed bat is found nowhere in the United States but extreme south Florida. These bats emerge from their roosts earlier than most other bats, often shortly before sunset. This 2-page fact sheet explains how to differentiate velvety free-

Nicotine Reprograms Aging‐Related Metabolism and Protects Against Motor Decline in Mice
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Long‐term oral nicotine intake protects against age‐related motor decline in mice without eliciting systemic toxicity. Integrated multi‐organ metabolomic profiling and longitudinal gut microbiota analyses reveal that nicotine induces coordinated remodeling of glycolipid and sphingolipid metabolism, enhances NAD⁺ bioavailability, and suppresses ceramide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Clinical discovery and the proposed underlying mechanism by how P. johnsonii ameliorated metabolic disorders. Abstract The gut bacterium Parabacteroides spp. is increasingly recognized for its therapeutic potential in treating metabolic disorders. However, the role of Parabacteroides johnsonii in metabolic disorders is never reported.
