The genome sequence of Molossus alvarezi González-Ruiz, Ramírez-Pulido and Arroyo-Cabrales, 2011 (Chiroptera, Molossidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Molossus alvarezi (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Molossidae). The genome sequence is 2.490 Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X sex

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 540-551, May 2026.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 281-287, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic

Diversity, similarity and trophic guild of chiropterofauna in three southern Pantanal sub-regions, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil=Diversidade, similaridade e guilda alimentar da quiropterofauna em três sub-regiões do Pantanal Sul, Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil [PDF]

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2012
In the Brazilian Pantanal, virtually no studies of communities of bats, despite the richness of spcies. As the chiropterofauna in the Pantanal is still poorly known, this works purpose was to verify the diversity, trophic guild and similarity in three ...

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 199-220, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Molecular Detection and Genetic Diversity of Bat‐Associated Bartonella spp. in Bat Ectoparasites Collected From Ratchaburi Province, Thailand

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Bat ectoparasites collected from four insectivorous bat species were identified through mitochondrial gene analysis. This study provides the first evidence of bat‐associated Bartonella species in ectoparasites, including bat flies (Phthiridium sp., Raymondia sp.
