Sex differences in DNA methylation in bats

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1551, Issue 1, Page 115-128, September 2025.
We compared DNA methylation between males and females of 14 bat species. Sex differences in methylation were overrepresented on the X chromosome and sites hypermethylated in males and females were underrepresented near androgen and estrogen receptor binding sites, respectively.

Caracterización cromosómica y morfométrica de Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus 1758) en la región Caribe colombiano

Revista Peruana de Biología, 2018
El género Carollia es un grupo diverso de murciélagos neotropicales. La similitud de caracteres morfométricos y alto grado de diversidad, dificulta la identificación precisa de las especies del género.

The likely effects of thermal climate change on vertebrate skeletal muscle mechanics with possible consequences for animal movement and behaviour [PDF]

, 2019
Climate change can involve alteration in the local temperature that an animal is exposed to, which in turn may affect skeletal muscle temperature.

Behavioral Reactions of the Bat Carollia perspicillata to Abrupt Changes in Gravity.

Biological Sciences in Space, 1995
As part of an ongoing survey of the behavioral responses of vertebrates to abrupt changes in gravity, we report here on the reactions of bats (Carollia perspicillata) exposed to altered gravity during parabolic aircraft flight. In microgravity, mammals typically behave as if they were upside-down and exhibit repetitive righting reflexes, which often ...

Robustness of cortical and subcortical processing in the presence of natural masking sounds

Scientific Reports, 2018
Processing of ethologically relevant stimuli could be interfered by non-relevant stimuli. Animals have behavioral adaptations to reduce signal interference.

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Albinism in Carollia perspicillata (Chiroptera; Phyllostomidae), in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. A brief review of albinism in bats

Biotemas, 2017
Albinism is a phenomenon that is not very common in bats. In the literature, sixty-seven bat species with this mutation have been reported. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of complete albinism in Carollia perspicillata. A young male albino

Wake structure and kinematics in two insectivorous bats [PDF]

, 2016
We compare kinematics and wake structure over a range of flight speeds (4.0–8.2 m s(−1)) for two bats that pursue insect prey aerially, Tadarida brasiliensis and Myotis velifer. Body mass and wingspan are similar in these species, but M.
