Pollen essential amino acids shape bat–flower interaction networks

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3311-3324, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although pollen consumption by phytophagous bats has long been documented, the role of its protein and amino acid content in driving plant–pollinator interactions remains largely overlooked.

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

New record, host and localities of bat mite of genusChirnyssoides (Acari, Sarcoptiformes, Sarcoptidae)

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Chirnyssoides parasitizes the anterior and posterior edges of bat wing membranes. Possibly due to a lack of studies, its distribution is believed to be restricted to a few countries of Central and South America, but its actual range is probably wider ...

Morphophysiology and Hormonal Control of the Mammary Gland of the Bat Artibeus lituratus During Gestation and Lactation: Emphasis on Estradiol and Progesterone

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 10, October 2025.
The mammary gland of NON females of Artibeus lituratus was composed of few ducts interspersed within a rich stroma, and covered by adipose tissue. The branching of the mammary gland in AP females are triggered by stimuli from an increase in serum estradiol that, through ERα activation, stimulates the proliferation of the ducts, and an increase in serum

Bat Distribution and Habitat Protection Degree Along an Elevational Gradient in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We aim to identify areas with greater favourability for bat occurrence in the Serra da Mantiqueira, southeastern Brazil, analyse gaps in bat distribution and evaluate the level of protection of areas with the greatest bat diversity. Location Serra da Mantiqueira, Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Taxon Bats.
