Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

Morphology and development of the baculum in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)
Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.This study examines the ontogenetic changes in the morphology of the penis bone in the harbour seal, focusing on the implications for sexual maturity and reproductive function. A large comparative dataset of approx. 300 genital bones from 1 year to over 20 years of age was used for analyses.

Use of synanthropic roosts by bats in Europe and North America
Mammal Review, EarlyView.Although bats often use buildings for roosting, the true proportion of their populations roosting in buildings is not known. Based on review of radio‐tracking studies, we found that 2× more species and 17× times higher proportion of populations use SRs in Europe than in North America, respectively.

Mammal Review, EarlyView.Bat species richness on Mediterranean islands is significantly influenced by forest cover and island isolation. These findings underscore the need to incorporate landscape composition and isolation into conservation strategies, emphasising the critical role of forest protection in preserving bat diversity in insular ecosystems.

Physiological and Behavioural Strategies of Bats From Arid Environments
Mammal Review, EarlyView.Deserts are characterized by high ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation and low water availability. Desert bats are smaller, have lower energy expenditures, lower water losses, higher wing aspect ratios and lower wing loadings than bats living in mesic environments.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.
