Male Carollia perspicillata bats call more than females in a distressful context [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Distress calls are a vocalization type widespread across the animal kingdom, emitted when the animals are under duress, e.g. when captured by a predator. Here, we report on an observation we came across serendipitously while recording distress calls from

Going Mobile: Using Portable Genomic Technologies for PCR-Free In Situ Species Identification and Real-Time Molecular Systematics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we document how the implementation of a portable laboratory, in combination with targeted long‐read sequencing through an approach known as nanopore adaptive sampling, can facilitate in situ genomic and systematic analyses across a wide range of animal taxa, including multiple small mammals and blood‐feeding arthropods.

Repetitive DNAs and Karyotype Evolution in Phyllostomid Bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]

Biomolecules
Bats are great models for studying repetitive DNAs due to their compact genomes and extensive chromosomal rearrangements. Here, we investigated the repetitive DNA content of two phyllostomid bat species, Artibeus lituratus (2nn = 30♀/31♂) and Carollia ...

Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats. [PDF]

Integr Zool
This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.

Use of artificial refuges as a strategy for the conservation of bats

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2022
One of the main problems for the conservation of bats in Colombia is ignorance about them and their ecosystem services. In this study, we aimed to contribute to the understanding and conservation of the bat fauna of the Pasuncha region (Pacho ...
