Bartonella in bat flies from the Egyptian fruit bat in the Middle East

Parasitology Research
AbstractIn the family of fruit bats, Pteropodidae Gray, 1821, as in the third most diverse group of bats (Chiroptera), the bacterium of the genus Bartonella was detected in several species as well as in a few species of their insect ectoparasites in some tropical and sub-tropical regions of the Old World.

Haematological, serum biochemical and electrophoretic data on healthy captive Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus)

, 2020
Bats play a key role as reservoir hosts of many emerging viral diseases with zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the laboratory reference intervals (RIs) of bats, especially Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Size constancy in bat biosonar? [PDF]

, 2013
Perception and encoding of object size is an important feature of sensory systems. In the visual system object size is encoded by the visual angle (visual aperture) on the retina, but the aperture depends on the distance of the object. As object distance

Discovery and Characterization of Bukakata orbivirus (Reoviridae:Orbivirus), a Novel Virus from a Ugandan Bat

Viruses, 2019
While serological and virological evidence documents the exposure of bats to medically-important arboviruses, their role as reservoirs or amplifying hosts is less well-characterized.

Papaya and Roselle Seed Oils as Partial Shortening Replacers in Cupcakes: Implications for Lipid Quality, Oxidative Stability, and Microbiological Quality

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Papaya seed oil and roselle seed oil successfully replaced shortening in cupcakes, improving oxidative stability while maintaining proximate composition, physical properties, and sensory quality. These underutilized seed oils represent sustainable functional ingredients for developing healthier bakery products.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Evolutionary history and taxonomy of the genus Zea

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Premise Taxonomic differentiation of teosinte species (Zea spp.), the closest relatives of maize (Z. mays) is crucial for understanding their distribution, ecology, and evolutionary history. Resolving the taxonomic uncertainties is of scientific interest and has practical implications for biodiversity management, preservation, and utilization.

Yellow Fever Outbreaks Are Not Associated With Long‐Term Negative Human Perceptions of Wild Primates in Brazil

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 10, October 2026.
Previous Yellow Fever outbreaks were not associated with long‐term negative human perceptions of non‐human primates in Brazil. Instead, education level, gender and sighting frequencies shaped perceptions of howler monkeys, while no significant predictors were identified for marmoset perceptions. ABSTRACT Human perceptions of wildlife are fundamental to
