Cohorts of immature Pteropus bats show interannual variation in Hendra virus serology

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 521-537, March 2026.
Pteropus bat with offspring, photo taken by Manuel Ruiz‐Aravena. Abstract Understanding the drivers of seasonal disease outbreaks remains a fundamental challenge in disease ecology. Periodic outbreaks can be driven by several seasonally varying factors, including pulses of susceptible individuals through births, changes in host behaviour and social ...

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 2-10, January 2026.
Changes in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

Ectoparasite Diversity and Infection Burden on Two Sympatric Bat Species, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Ectoparasite community diversity is similar between two endangered bat species in Atlantic Canada. Ectoparasite burden of the two most common ectoparasites varies between bat species in conjunction with their behavior and roosting differences. ABSTRACT Parasites are an abundant and diverse group of organisms that are often excluded from biodiversity ...

At the edge of darkness: A framework for the evolution of visual systems in dim light

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2626-2636, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light is an important biological cue for all living things. For animals, where many behaviours are driven by sensory input from the eyes, light is also a critical environmental feature shaping animal eye evolution, with the intensity of light (i.e.
