Female‐Biased Sexual Size Dimorphism and Its Potential Causes in Hairy‐Winged Bats
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Based on the integration of molecular genetics, traditional and geometric morphology, and acoustic characteristics of hairy‐winged bats (a species that was historically misclassified into two species due to extreme craniodental divergence between the sexes) in multiple regions of China, we quantified the sexual size dimorphism (SSD) between males and ...

Genetic and developmental changes at early stages of chiropteran evolution: a brief review
Біологічні студії, 2010 Recent studies have revealed genetic and developmental changes responsible for the emergence of powered flight and echolocation at early stages of evolution in the bats (Chiroptera).

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.In a lomas desert ecosystem of coastal Peru, the columnar cactus Haageocereus acranthus shows traits and interactions consistent with a mixed‐vertebrate pollination system (hummingbirds and bats), with no detectable differences between flower colour morphotypes in either traits or interactions.

Place recognition using batlike sonar
eLife, 2016 Echolocating bats have excellent spatial memory and are able to navigate to salient locations using bio-sonar. Navigating and route-following require animals to recognize places.

Standards for recording echolocation signals and building reference libraries of bats in Colombia
Biota Colombiana, 2021 Bioacoustic tools allow monitoring bats usually not detected with traditional methods, such as mist nets, and also provide information about different biological aspects of the species.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Contrasting phagocyte respiratory burst responses in two European bat species during hibernation
Frontiers in ImmunologyBats use various natural or artificial structures as hibernacula, resulting in a diversification of hibernation strategies. For example, caves provide a stable thermal microclimate for the greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis), whereas above-ground ...
