High Relevance of Fatty Acid Oxidation in a Migrating Mammal, the Nathusius' Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii)

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
Bats can sustain powered flight, but their reliance on fatty acid oxidation may limit long‐distance migration compared to birds. Using untargeted metabolomics, we analyzed blood metabolites of Nathusius' pipistrelle under controlled flight and migratory field conditions to identify fuel use.
