Cranial morphology reveals a lack of phylogenetic signal and rapid adaptive radiation in the bat genus Molossus (Chiroptera: Molossidae). [PDF]

PLoS One
The 16 species of Molossus (Chiroptera: Molossidae) are distributed throughout the Neotropical region and can be classified into two groups: one consisting of morphologically similar yet phylogenetically divergent species, and another of morphologically ...

Histological description of gonadal  development in a  neotropical  insectivorous bat  Eumops  patagonicus  (Chiroptera:  Molossidae) [PDF]

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia. Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series C
The order Chiroptera is one of the most diverse orders in terms of the number of species; however, very few studies have been conducted in this group regarding its embryonic development. In this area, studies have focused on staging through morphological

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

Diversity of Rabies Virus Variants in Insectivorous Bats (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae and Molossidae): An Epidemiological Study in Central Argentine Patagonia. [PDF]

Viruses
Rabies virus (RABV) causes a fatal infection in the central nervous system of mammals. RABV circulates through two different epidemiological cycles—terrestrial and aerial—with bats being the natural reservoir of the aerial cycle.
