Comparative Analysis of Mitochondrial Genomes and Phylogeny of Barbastelle Bats Across China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Barbastelle bats are characterized by their distinct approximately square‐shaped outer ears, which converge at the forehead. In China, three species have been documented, and we present two mitochondrial genomes for Barbastella beijingensis and B. darjelingensis.

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We 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 ...

Oceanic Island Bats as Flower visitors and pollinators

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Oceanic islands are relatively poor in insects compared to mainland areas. Therefore, insect-eating island birds and lizards may include other food sources into their diet, e.g. nectar and pollen.

Choeroniscus Minor (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2008
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Choeroniscus minor (Peters, 1868) is a phyllostomid commonly called the lesser long-tongued bat. It is a mediumsize bat with an elongated muzzle, a very long tongue, and other cranial and dental features indicative of its highly specialized adaptations for nectar feeding.

Pleistocene distribution of MacConnell’s Bat (Phyllostomidae) suggests intermittent connections between Amazonia and Atlantic Forest

Therya, 2023
The historical biogeography of the major South American forested biomes has long intrigued scientists.  Paleoclimatic events during the last 130 thousand years promoted connections between forested biomes in the Neotropical region, leading to disjunct ...

Geographic Distribution of Common Vampire Bat Desmodus rotundus (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) Shelters: Implications for the Spread of Rabies Virus to Cattle in Southeastern Brazil

Pathogens, 2022
Desmodus rotundus bats show a complex social structure and developed adaptive characteristics, considered key features of a pathogen disseminator, such as the rabies virus, among bats and other mammals, including cattle and humans.
