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.

Morphological and molecular data on the bat flies, Basilia silvae (Brèthes, 1913) and Trichobius parasiticus Gervais, 1844 parasitizing Chilean bats

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 422-430, September 2025.
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.

Bio‐Inspired Strategy for Radiation‐Based Thermal Management and Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 32, August 28, 2025.
Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

El vampiro común (Desmodus rotundus)

open access: yesBiología y Sociedad
Los murciélagos gozan de una mala reputación por ser animales nocturnos y por el desconocimiento de su importancia ecológica, al ser proveedores de servicios ecosistémicos que nos benefician. El vampiro común es una de ellas. Esta es una especie de importancia fitosanitaria debido a que puede transmitir la rabia.

From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

Bat-transmitted Human Rabies Outbreaks, Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
We describe 2 bat-transmitted outbreaks in remote, rural areas of Portel and Viseu Municipalities, Pará State, northern Brazil. Central nervous system specimens were taken after patients' deaths and underwent immunofluorescent assay and histopathologic ...
