Ultrastructure and morphometric features of epididymal epithelium in Desmodus rotundus

Micron, 2017
The blood-feeding behavior of Desmodus rotundus made this bat a potential vector of rabies virus and a public health issue. Consequently, the better understanding of its reproductive biology becomes valuable for the development of methods to control its population. In this study, we described morphological aspects of epithelial cells in D.

Anatomical and Histological Characterization of the Intestine of Artibeus lituratus

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The order Chiroptera is highly diverse and is the second richest among mammals. Approximately 181 species are known in Brazil, with varied feeding habits that make them essential for ecological functions such as seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Despite the importance of their ecosystem services, the anatomical and histological aspects of

Longitudinal Impacts of Forest Loss on Bartonella and Hemotropic Mycoplasma Dynamics in Vampire Bats Within a Fragmented Habitat

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat fragmentation can negatively impact wildlife, including increasing infectious disease risk. We assessed spatiotemporal changes in pathogen dynamics in vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) in response to habitat fragmentation using general linear mixed models to investigate the influence of site, year, and tree cover on Bartonella spp.

Using Drone‐Derived Imagery to Describe Prey Sharing Behaviors in Two Piscivorous Resident Killer Whale Populations

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cooperative foraging occurs across diverse taxa and facilitates prey acquisition and social learning, particularly when prey is shared among group members. In Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca ater), prey sharing is central to how individuals acquire salmonid prey, yet current research has relied primarily on boat‐based observations.

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Classification of human breathing sounds by the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus [PDF]

BMC Biology, 2006
Abstract Background The common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus is one of three bat species that feed exclusively on the blood of mammals often more than 1000 times its size. Vampire bats even feed on human blood.

Sampling Intensity and Temporal Persistence of Airborne eDNA in Partially Enclosed Spaces

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
The majority of species richness was detected using as little as four samplers in this enclosed space and the greater the number of sampling events, the fewer samplers were needed. eDNA also appeared to settle out of the air quickly (within 72 h), suggesting that detections likely reflect recent activity.

Biomechanical and ecological relationships of wing morphology of eight Chilean bats Relaciones biomecánicas y ecológicas de la morfología alar de ocho quirópteros chilenos

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2005
In this study we compared the wing morphology of eight species of bats inhabiting Chile, including two previous studied species. We correlated the results with ecological information. Aspect ratio, wing span, wing area, wing loading and the second moment
