Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015 Studies suggest that frugivorous bats search and select fruit mainly by olfaction so that they can be attracted by smell alone. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in captivity, the behavioural response (number of foraging attempts) of Artibeus ...

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study evaluates whether diversification in Malagasy and African Miniopterus is associated with divergence in linear wing morphology. Principal component and morphospace analyses indicate that wing morphology is highly conserved across species, with most variation reflecting differences in size rather than shape.

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co‐roosting host communities
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

Nutritional content of bat-consumed fruits in a forest fragment in Southern Brazil
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe State Park Mata dos Godoy has 42 identified bat species, among which 21 are frugivorous and belong to the Phyllostomidae family. Current study investigated the concentrations of carbohydrate, lipid and protein in fruits consumed by Artibeus lituratus,

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 137-150, January 2026.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.

A New Method of Fruit Marking for Studies on Chiropterochory
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.We used edible glitter to mark 15,526 fruits of three chiropterochorous plants at 700, 1000, 2000, and 3200 m from a bat roost in Brazil's caatinga. Glitter from all distances was detected at the roost, allowing the identification of specific feeding areas accessed, providing a new approach for zoochory studies.
