Landscape of IGH germline genes of Chiroptera and the pattern of Rhinolophus affinis bat IGH CDR3 repertoire [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
The emergence and re-emergence of abundant viruses from bats that impact human and animal health have resulted in a resurgence of interest in bat immunology. Characterizing the immune receptor repertoire is critical to understanding how bats coexist with

Vocal production learning in the pale spear-nosed bat, Phyllostomus discolor. [PDF]

Biol Lett, 2020
Vocal production learning (VPL), or the ability to modify vocalizations through the imitation of sounds, is a rare trait in the animal kingdom. While humans are exceptional vocal learners, few other mammalian species share this trait. Owing to their singular ecology and lifestyle, bats are highly specialized for the precise emission and reception of ...

Representation of vocalizations in the frontal auditory field and the dorsal auditory cortex of bats. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
This study investigated the specificity of encoding for different types of vocalizations in neurons of the frontal auditory field (FAF) and the dorsal auditory cortex (dAC) of a bat. Our results show that dAC neurons were more selective for call categories and single calls than neurons in the FAF. This contrasts with earlier findings and highlights the

Genome Mining and Structural Study of Cathelicidins Across Chiroptera Species. [PDF]

Biochem Res Int
The authors explored the genomic landscape of bat cathelicidins, critical proteins in the vertebrate innate immune system, across 41 bat species, which are notable for their high microbial tolerance. An array of bioinformatics tools, complemented by manual mining, were used to identify the curated cathelicidin sequences.

DNA Methylation Dynamics Reflect Sex and Status Differences in Mortality Rates in a Polygynous Bat. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Males of polygynous mammals often do not live as long as females and, in some cases, exhibit evidence of earlier senescence. Patterns of DNA methylation (DNAm) have recently been used to predict chronological age in mammals. Whether DNAm also changes as a consequence of survival and senescence is largely untested in wild animals. In this study,

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]

, 2020
Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Representation of three-dimensional space in the auditory cortex of the echolocating bat P. discolor. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The auditory cortex is an essential center for sound localization. In echolocating bats, combination sensitive neurons tuned to specific delays between call emission and echo perception represent target distance. In many bats, these neurons are organized
