The first record of the greater noctule bat, Nyctalus lasiopterus (Schreber, 1780) (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae), in the Republic of Mordovia (European Russia)

Acta Biologica Sibirica
As part of a systematic five-year (2021–2025) mist-netting survey of bats in the Mordovia State Nature Reserve, we documented the first confirmed presence of the greater noctule bat, Nyctalus lasiopterus, in the Republic of Mordovia.

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Ecology and phenology of the bat tick Argas (Carios) dewae (Acari: Argasidae)

Parasitology
Although 12 soft tick species (Argasidae) are native to Australia, the ecology of most is poorly known. Argas dewae parasitizes several insectivorous bat species and has been recorded on humans.

Host Phylogeny and Feeding Habit Jointly Govern Mammalian Gut Microbiota Composition

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Herbivores showed higher alpha diversity than carnivores/omnivores, while omnivores had the highest beta diversity. Host phylogeny influenced gut microbiota more strongly in herbivores/omnivores, with phylogenetic distance correlating to microbiota dissimilarity.

Acoustic study of urban bat diversity in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria

Historia Naturalis Bulgarica
Urbanisation presents both challenges and opportunities for bat populations. Understanding the composition and distribution of urban bat species is the first step toward their effective conservation.

Decoding Dual Regulatory Layers: Integrating Differential Expression and Alternative Splicing Dynamics in the Evolution of Laryngeal Echolocation Across Chiropteran Lineages

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We integrated short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq data from cochlear tissues of echolocating and non‐echolocating bats to disentangle transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation. Echolocating bats showed neural‐function enrichment among differentially expressed genes, while alternatively spliced genes were linked to epigenetic regulation. Overlaps

Rapid assessment of cave-dwelling bat diversity in the Chebket ES-Sellaoua Mountains (Eastern Algeria)

Arxius de Miscel-lània Zoològica, 2018
Information about the ecology and lifestyle of bats (Chiroptera) in Algeria is scarce. In this paper, we present the results of an inventory study of Chiroptera fauna in the Chebket ES-Sellaoua Mountains in Eastern Algeria, conducted between January 2014

Prioritizing bat roosts for conservation with a global multicriteria bat roost priority index based on community science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prioritization in conservation is crucial for the development of efficient and effective decision‐making policies. For many decades, the importance of some species and their habitats has been assessed and applied in conservation legislation, but bats and their diurnal roosts have ofbeen overlooked.

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.
