Gene Flow and Vertical Stratification of Pollination in the Bat-Pollinated Liana <i>Marcgravia longifolia</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates pollen dispersal, vertical stratification of gene flow, and spatial genetic structure in the bat‐pollinated liana Marcgravia longifolia in a western Amazonian forest. Flowers are produced from the forest floor to the canopy, allowing analysis of pollination across strata.

Vulnerability of Southern Hemisphere bats to white-nose syndrome based on global analysis of fungal host specificity and cave temperatures. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract White‐nose syndrome (WNS), a disease affecting hibernating bats, is caused by the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd). Since the initial introduction of Pd from Eurasia to the United States in 2006, WNS has killed millions of bats throughout the temperate parts of North America.

Changes in community composition and functional diversity of European bats under climate change. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically ...

Morphological and molecular data on the bat flies, Basilia silvae (Brèthes, 1913) and Trichobius parasiticus Gervais, 1844 parasitizing Chilean bats. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

The effect of group size on sleep in a neotropical bat, Artibeus jamaicensis. [PDF]

J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol
Research Highlights We combine behavioral and physiological data to show that Jamaican fruit bats (Artibeus jamaicensis) sleeping in groups may sleep longer than individuals sleeping alone, and that behavior can be used to measure some sleep metrics in wild bats.

A Palearctic view of a bat fungal disease. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The fungal infection causing white‐nose disease in hibernating bats in North America has resulted in dramatic population declines of affected species, since the introduction of the causative agent Pseudogymnoascus destructans. The fungus is native to the Palearctic, where it also infects several bat species, yet rarely causes severe pathology ...

LOS ENSAMBLAJES DE MURCIÉLAGOS DE LA SERRANÍA DE LA LINDOSA SON DIVERSOS Y HETEROGÉNEOS

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2020
La Serranía de La Lindosa es una formación geomorfológica que presenta heterogeneidad en sus coberturas vegetales. Esta zona se encuentra en una situación contradictoria debido a que presenta una elevada biodiversidad, sin embargo, es uno de los actuales

Un vistazo a la inmortalidad: longevidad en murciélagos

Therya ixmana, 2023
¿Son los murciélagos la élite privilegiada de la naturaleza? Además de ser los únicos mamíferos con la capacidad de volar, ahora también son considerados como uno de los grupos de animales más longevos.

Amigos o enemigos. Murciélagos en el origen y emergencia de zoonosis, con referencia particular a la rabia

Anales de la Real Academia de Medicina y Cirugía de Valladolid, 2023
Los murciélagos forman uno de los órdenes (orden Chiroptera) con mayor número de especies, solo superados por los roedores (orden Rodentia). A sus características singulares de capacidad de vuelo, nocturnos, ecolocación o hábitos alimentarios diversos ...
