Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Survey for Bat Lyssaviruses, Thailand
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 Surveillance for lyssaviruses was conducted among bat populations in 8 provinces in Thailand. In 2002 and 2003, a total of 932 bats of 11 species were captured and released after serum collection.

Mitochondrial genome of the Harpiocephalus harpia (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from China
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 In this study, a complete mitochondrial genome of a female Harpiocephalus harpia from Zhejiang Province, China, was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq. The genome is ∼16,400 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

An Updated Checklist of Terrestrial Mammals of Hainan Island, China
Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Building upon the foundational work Birds and Mammals of Hainan Island (1983), and synthesizing verified species records accumulated over the past four decades under a modern taxonomic framework, we present an updated checklist documenting 95 species of terrestrial mammals on Hainan Island.

Юг России: экология, развитие, 2021 Aim of this work is to substantiate the hypothesis that the absence of lice in bats is associated with the electrification of the surface of their body during the flight.Discussion.
