The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 207-221, July 2026.Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.ABSTRACT Habitat fragmentation can negatively impact wildlife, including increasing infectious disease risk. We assessed spatiotemporal changes in pathogen dynamics in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) in response to habitat fragmentation using general linear mixed models to investigate the influence of site, year, and tree cover on Bartonella spp.

Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Nutrition or detoxification: why bats visit mineral licks of the Amazonian rainforest.
PLoS ONE, 2008 Many animals in the tropics of Africa, Asia and South America regularly visit so-called salt or mineral licks to consume clay or drink clay-saturated water. Whether this behavior is used to supplement diets with locally limited nutrients or to buffer the

Functional divergence drives the prevalence of low‐abundance species in bat assemblages
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1587-1602, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are structured by a few common species, while most occur at low abundance. Understanding the drivers of this widespread pattern raises fundamental questions about community assembly rules and is important for applied ecology for identifying ...

Leucismo parcial en dos especies de Carollia (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) en Costa Rica
Mammalogy Notes, 2018 El 29 de mayo de 2003 a las 18h45 un macho de Carollia sowelli fue capturado en el Parque Nacional Tortuguero (10°25ʼ24ˮN, 83°29ʼ48ˮW) que tenía el extremo del ala derecha de color blanco (aproximadamente la mitad del área de la membrana entre los dedos ...

Sampling Intensity and Temporal Persistence of Airborne eDNA in Partially Enclosed Spaces
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.The majority of species richness was detected using as little as four samplers in this enclosed space and the greater the number of sampling events, the fewer samplers were needed. eDNA also appeared to settle out of the air quickly (within 72 h), suggesting that detections likely reflect recent activity.

Presencia de estro post-parto en el murciélago frugivoro carollia perspicillata
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 1988 The occurrence and possibility of post-partum oestrum of the species Carollia perspicillata was studied in one group of 25 bats in cautivity. The study was carried out, during the inmediate post-partum by the obtention of daily vaginal smears along 30 ...
