Revisiting Molossus (Mammalia: Chiroptera: Molossidae) diversity: Exploring southern limits and revealing a novel species in Argentina [PDF]

Vertebrate Zoology
Understanding species diversity and delineating their boundaries are crucial for effective management and conservation efforts. In the case of bats, species identification holds particular importance from an epidemiological standpoint. The genus Molossus

Novel Chaphamaparvovirus in Insectivorous Molossus molossus Bats, from the Brazilian Amazon Region

Viruses, 2023
Chaphamaparvovirus (CHPV) is a recently characterized genus of the Parvoviridae family whose members can infect different hosts, including bats, which constitute the second most diverse order of mammals and are described worldwide as important transmitters of zoonotic diseases.

Prevalência da Coccidiose em Molossus molossus (Pallas, 1766) (Chiroptera; Molossidae) no estado de São Paulo

Biodiversidade Brasileira
Os quirópteros são animais de suma importância para o meio ambiente, porém possuem uma convivência sinantrópica relevante para a saúde pública. Devido a sua grande adaptabilidade ao meio urbano, certas patologias podem ser desencadeadas em larga escala ...

Leptospira in Brazilian Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera): A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
We performed a systematic review on bats and Leptospira in Brazil. 8 studies were conducted between 1976 and 2024, with 66 bat taxa found positive, 1 Leptospira species and four serovars identified. Graphical abstract made with Biorender. ABSTRACT Bats are a megadiverse clade with plural ecological functions, including their role as bacterial, viral ...

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 ...

Mitochondrial Genome Comparison and Phylogenetic Analysis of Four Species of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Dung beetles have important ecological and economical values; however, the molecular research of the taxonomic group is very limited. We sequenced mitochondrial genomes of four Scarabaeinae species, with sizes from 14,977 to 18,425 bp, and identified novel gene rearrangements.

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 ...
