Comparative Genomics Provide Insights Into Karyotype Evolution in Vespertilionid Bats (Vespertilionidae, Chiroptera). [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Studies elucidating the molecular basis and evolutionary consequences of karyotypic changes in mammals remain scarce. Here, we investigate chromosomal evolution by focusing on two contrasting lineages within the family Vespertilionidae (Chiroptera): the karyotypically variable tribe Pipistrellini and the highly conserved genus Myotis ...

Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT 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

The Value of Molecular vs. Morphometric and Acoustic Information for Species Identification Using Sympatric Molossid Bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 A fundamental condition for any work with free-ranging animals is correct species identification. However, in case of bats, information on local species assemblies is frequently limited especially in regions with high biodiversity such as the Neotropics.

A tale about vipers’ tails: phylogeography of black-tailed rattlesnakes [PDF]
Herpetozoa, 2022 The phylogenetic relationships among black-tailed rattlesnakes remain poorly understood and some authors indicated that the diversity of this group has been underestimated and additional analyses are required to clarify the biogeographic patterns ...

Heart rate reveals torpor at high body temperatures in lowland tropical free-tailed bats [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Reduction in metabolic rate and body temperature is a common strategy for small endotherms to save energy. The daily reduction in metabolic rate and heterothermy, or torpor, is particularly pronounced in regions with a large variation in daily ambient ...

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 ...
