Pioneering community science bat research in the Neotropics combines community participation with passive acoustic monitoring across urban–rural landscapes in Peru. The study shows how urbanization and environmental conditions shape bat richness and activity, while community‐generated data recover ecological patterns broadly consistent with expert‐led ...

Coccidioides posadasii Infection in Bats, Brazil
To analyze the eco-epidemiologic aspects of Histoplasma capsulatum in Brazil, we tested 83 bats for this fungus. Although H. capsulatum was not isolated, Coccidioides posadasii was recovered from Carollia perspicillata bat lungs.

The apparent ability of bats to harbor many virulent viruses without showing disease is likely driven by distinct immune responses that coevolved with mammalian flight and the exceptional longevity of this order.

Abstract The common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) is expanding in geographic range, increasing concern about the spread of this species to the United States (U.S.) and the associated risks of rabies virus (RABV) transmission. In 2020, we used a structured approach to convene a panel of experts to assess the risks of common vampire bat and vampire bat

Rhythm Across Species: Situating Human Speech in a Comparative Framework
We analyzed speech rhythms from 48 human languages using methods drawn from biology and linguistics. Interonset intervals across languages are surprisingly similar, with a median value of 2 seconds., despite substantial differences in linguistic structure and prosody. A comparative rhythm analysis shows that human speech falls within the range reported

Ultrastructure and morphometric features of epididymal epithelium in Desmodus rotundus
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.

This paper addresses the underrepresentation of bats in animal personality research despite their ecological importance, offering a structured guide for studying consistent individual behavioural differences in this taxon. We outline key experimental, fieldwork and annotation considerations specific to bats' unique life histories, alongside a five‐step

The role of precipitation and host assemblage composition in shaping bat–bat fly network structure
Abstract Climatic seasonality plays an important role in shaping ecological interactions, including those between bats and their ectoparasitic bat flies. Although previous studies have acknowledged the influence of climate on the structure of bat–bat fly interaction networks, the existence of biogeographical patterns driven by climatic seasonality ...
