Undiscovered Bat Hosts of Filoviruses
Ebola and other filoviruses pose significant public health and conservation threats by causing high mortality in primates, including humans. Preventing future outbreaks of ebolavirus depends on identifying wildlife reservoirs, but extraordinarily high biodiversity of potential hosts in temporally dynamic environments of equatorial Africa contributes to

Climate Change‐Driven Heatwaves Pose Lethal Risks to Newborn Forest Bats
This is the first recorded case of forest bat mortality in temperate regions caused by heatwaves. The study suggests that forest fragmentation exposes bats to lethal thermal peaks, highlighting a previously overlooked impact of climate change on these mammals and potential interactions with forest fragmentation.
