Following the Flight of Asian Bats: Stable Hydrogen Isotope Analysis Uncovers Bat Migration Patterns, and Promising Future Directions

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the movement and migration of tropical Asian bats using stable hydrogen isotope analysis. We address a major knowledge gap for bats and apply a novel method for analyzing migration in Asia based on isotopes. Location Tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. Taxon Bats (Chiroptera).

Diet‐Faeces Trophic Discrimination Factor and Gut Passage Time of an Aotearoa New Zealand Insectivorous Bat, Chalinolobus tuberculatus, Determined via Controlled Feeding Experiment

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studying bat diet is challenging due to their rarity, cryptic nature, nocturnal habits, and protected status. Stable isotope analysis of bat faeces offers a promising noninvasive and nonlethal method to understand their trophic interactions.

Molecular Phylogeny of Mouse‐Tailed Bats (Chiroptera: Rhinopomatidae): Evolutionary Insights Into a Desert‐Dwelling Family

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The family Rhinopomatidae comprises six species of mouse‐tailed bats within the genus Rhinopoma, inhabiting arid regions of the Old World from western Africa to Myanmar. While their phylogenetic relationships have been explored through morphology and molecular analyses, many populations still remain insufficiently studied using molecular ...

Leptospira in Brazilian Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera): A Systematic Review

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
We performed a systematic review on bats and Leptospira in Brazil. 8 studies were conducted between 1976 and 2024, with 66 bat taxa found positive, 1 Leptospira species and four serovars identified. Graphical abstract made with Biorender. ABSTRACT Bats are a megadiverse clade with plural ecological functions, including their role as bacterial, viral ...

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

Bat Distribution and Habitat Protection Degree Along an Elevational Gradient in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We aim to identify areas with greater favourability for bat occurrence in the Serra da Mantiqueira, southeastern Brazil, analyse gaps in bat distribution and evaluate the level of protection of areas with the greatest bat diversity. Location Serra da Mantiqueira, Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Taxon Bats.

Standards for recording echolocation signals and building reference libraries of bats in Colombia

open access: yesBiota 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.
