A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co-roosting host communities. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

Multispecies aggregations of bats at kitchen waste pools in western Amazonia: a new source of mineral licks? [PDF]
Acta AmazonicaWe recorded aggregations of frugivorous bats swooping down to drink from pools formed by kitchen drains in two locations in western Amazonia. Videos and photographs show at least two species and three genera of phyllostomid bats with this behavior. While

Alphacoronavirus in urban Molossidae and Phyllostomidae bats, Brazil [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2016 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Background: Bats have been implicated as the main reservoir of coronavirus (CoV). Thus the role of these hosts on the evolution and spread of CoVs currently deserve the attention of emerging diseases surveillance programs. On the view of the interest on and importance of CoVs in bats the occurrence and

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2021 In Honduras, most bat inventories have been carried out with mist nets as the main sampling method, skewing knowledge towards the Phyllostomidae family, therefore the diversity and distribution of insectivorous bats is underrepresented.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.
