The chiggerflea Hectopsylla pulex (Siphonaptera: Tungidae): infestation on Molossus molossus (Chiroptera: Molossidae) in the Central Andes of Colombia [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2020
Some species of mastiff bats, Molossus Geoffroy, 1805, inhabit human shelters such as houses and barns. Among them, the Pallas’s mastiff bat, Molossus molossus Pallas, 1766, is the most common species in South America. There are a few studies on this bat

Filamentous fungi occurrence on Molossus molossus (Pallas, 1766) (Chiroptera: Molossidae) present in an Atlantic Forest remnant in Southern Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2020
The bats usually inhabit shelters with favorable conditions for fungal proliferation, including pathogenic and opportunistic species. The fungal diversity present on bats is little known and the studies are scarce in Brazil, which only a work has been ...

Hidden Losses: Assessing the Risk of Coextinction Among Ectoparasitic Flies and Their Bat Host Species in Brazil

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).

Soundscapes of the Upper Amazon: Seasonal Activity Patterns of Insectivorous Bats in Cordillera Escalera, Peru

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Bats, the second most diverse group of mammals, play essential ecological roles in insect control, pollination, and seed dispersal. In Peru, insectivorous bats remain poorly studied, particularly in high‐elevation rainforest ecosystems of the upper Amazon region.

Rhythm Across Species: Situating Human Speech in a Comparative Framework

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1563, Issue 1, September 2026.
We analyzed speech rhythms from 48 human languages using methods drawn from biology and linguistics. Interonset intervals across languages are surprisingly similar, with a median value of 2 seconds., despite substantial differences in linguistic structure and prosody. A comparative rhythm analysis shows that human speech falls within the range reported

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

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
