Chromosomal Evolution in Chiroptera [PDF]

Genes, 2017
Chiroptera is the second largest order among mammals, with over 1300 species in 21 extant families. The group is extremely diverse in several aspects of its natural history, including dietary strategies, ecology, behavior and morphology. Bat genomes show ample chromosome diversity (from 2n = 14 to 62).

Analysis of substitution rates showed that TLR5 is evolving at different rates among mammalian groups

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the most widely studied innate immunity receptors responsible for recognition of invading pathogens. Among the TLR family, TLR5 is the only that senses and recognizes flagellin, the major protein of bacterial ...

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]

, 2018
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Atlantic mammal traits: a dataset of morphological traits of mammals in the atlantic forest of south America [PDF]

, 2018
Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works consider mean species-level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species.
