Comparative morphology of the tongue in free-tailed bats (Chiroptera, Molossidae) [PDF]
Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2003 Descriptive and comparative studies on tongue of nineteen Molossidae, one Mystacinidae, and four Vespertilionidae bats species were carried out. Analysis was restricted to the external morphology, covering general shape of the tongue and its papillae ...

Novel Betaherpesviruses in Neotropical Bats on the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts: First Report from Antillean Tree Bats (Ardops nichollsi) and Evidence for Cross-Species Transmission [PDF]
MicroorganismsTo date, limited information is available on herpesviruses in bats from the Caribbean region. We report here high detection rates (24.24%, n = 66) of herpesviruses in oral samples from apparently healthy bats (Ardops nichollsi (75%, 9/12) and Molossus ...

Alphacoronavirus in urban Molossidae and Phyllostomidae bats, Brazil [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2016 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Background: Bats have been implicated as the main reservoir of coronavirus (CoV). Thus the role of these hosts on the evolution and spread of CoVs currently deserve the attention of emerging diseases surveillance programs. On the view of the interest on and importance of CoVs in bats the occurrence and

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

Histological description of gonadal development in a neotropical insectivorous bat Eumops patagonicus (Chiroptera: Molossidae) [PDF]
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia. Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series CThe 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

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciBats 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.
