Moss‐Accumulated eDNA Is a Promising Source for Terrestrial Biodiversity Surveys Across the Tree of Life and Biomes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Climate change refugia hotspots for priority species: A case study in East Africa

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
We coproduced the first comprehensive assessment of climate change refugia across Tanzania with Tanzanian partners through extensive consultation, in‐person interviews, and field visits to priority ecosystems, ensuring our analysis addressed local conservation needs and decision‐making contexts.

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Subgenomic flavivirus RNA (sfRNA) associated with Asian lineage Zika virus identified in three species of Ugandan bats (family Pteropodidae)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Serological cross-reactivity among flaviviruses makes determining the prior arbovirus exposure of animals challenging in areas where multiple flavivirus strains are circulating.

Following the Flight of Asian Bats: Stable Hydrogen Isotope Analysis Uncovers Bat Migration Patterns, and Promising Future Directions

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the movement and migration of tropical Asian bats using stable hydrogen isotope analysis. We address a major knowledge gap for bats and apply a novel method for analyzing migration in Asia based on isotopes. Location Tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. Taxon Bats (Chiroptera).

Histology and Histometric Anatomy of the Male Reproductive System of Bat (Eidolon helvum) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Histology, 2014
The male reproductive system of fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) was studied histologically using light microscope. Thirty males (17 adults and 13 juveniles) were captured using net, weighed, aged using relative ossification of the wing bone, and dissected and reproductive tissue was processed for histomorphometry.

Ressources Alimentaires De Eidolon helvum (Kerr, 1792), Espece Proche De La Menace (Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire)

open access: yes, 2017
Food resources of the straw-colored fruit bats Eidolon helvum (Kerr, 1792), a near-threaned species in Abidjan-Plateau were studied from August 2007 to July 2008. Faeces collection under sleeping trees and direct observations were made in order to access

Sex differences in DNA methylation in bats

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1551, Issue 1, Page 115-128, September 2025.
We compared DNA methylation between males and females of 14 bat species. Sex differences in methylation were overrepresented on the X chromosome and sites hypermethylated in males and females were underrepresented near androgen and estrogen receptor binding sites, respectively.

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.
