Integrative single-cell characterization of a frugivorous and an insectivorous bat kidney and pancreas [PDF]

Nature Communications
Frugivory evolved multiple times in mammals, including bats. However, the cellular and molecular components driving it remain largely unknown. Here, we use integrative single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq) on insectivorous (Eptesicus fuscus ...

Bushy‐Crested Hornbills Successfully Hunting Flying Bats in Gomantong Caves, Malaysia [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Hornbills living in tropical forests are predominantly frugivorous, but some species incorporate small animals into their diets, and bats have only been anecdotally recorded among their prey.

Extensive Survey and Analysis of Factors Associated with Presence of Antibodies to Orthoebolaviruses in Bats from West and Central Africa

Viruses, 2023
The seroprevalence to orthoebolaviruses was studied in 9594 bats (5972 frugivorous and 3622 insectivorous) from Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Guinea, with a Luminex-based serological assay including recombinant antigens of four ...

DIVERSITY OF FRUGIVORES BATS AND SEEDS CONSUMED ON THE EDGES OF CLOUD FOREST, VERACRUZ, MEXICO

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2023
Background: The change in the coverage of the Cloud Forest (CF) generates edges and fragments of original vegetation that can affect the bat community and the diversity of dispersed seeds.

Serologic evidence of orthomarburgviruses and an orthoebolavirus in frugivorous Malagasy bats. [PDF]

One Health Outlook
Abstract Recent outbreaks of Marburg virus disease in regions of sub-Saharan Africa without prior record such as Ghana, Tanzania, Equatorial Guinea, and Rwanda challenge the current understanding of areas at-risk for filovirus spillover. The orthomarburgvirus host Rousettus aegyptiacus

Molecular Evolution of the Nuclear Factor (Erythroid-Derived 2)-Like 2 Gene Nrf2 in Old World Fruit Bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Mammals developed antioxidant systems to defend against oxidative damage in their daily life. Enzymatic antioxidants and low molecular weight antioxidants (LMWAs) constitute major parts of the antioxidant systems.

Antigenic and molecular evidence of Brucella sp.-associated epididymo-orchitis in frugivorous (Artibeus lituratus) and nectarivorous (Glossophaga soricina) bats in Brazil

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
This study included 47 free-ranging bats from the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Six bats (12.8%) had genital inflammatory lesions, and two of them (one Artibeus lituratus and one Glossophaga soricina, a frugivorous and a nectarivorous, respectively ...

Detection of novel coronaviruses from dusky fruit bat (Penthetor lucasi) in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023
Background Sarawak has one of the highest diversity of fruit bats species (family Pteropodidae) in Malaysia, with 19 species described. Most coronavirus (CoV) studies have mainly focused on insectivorous bats, resulting in a lack of information on CoVs ...

Individual specialization in the use of space by frugivorous bats

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2020
Abstract Natural populations are not homogenous systems but sets of individuals that occupy subsets of the species’ niche. This phenomenon is known as individual specialization. Recently, several studies found evidence of individual specialization in animal diets. Diet is a critical dimension of a species’ niche that affects several other dimensions,
