Perceptual modalities guiding bat flight in a native habitat [PDF]
, 2018 Flying animals accomplish high-speed navigation through fields of obstacles using a suite of sensory modalities that blend spatial memory with input from vision, tactile sensing, and, in the case of most bats and some other animals, echolocation ...

Sex differences in DNA methylation in bats
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1551, Issue 1, Page 115-128, September 2025.We compared DNA methylation between males and females of 14 bat species. Sex differences in methylation were overrepresented on the X chromosome and sites hypermethylated in males and females were underrepresented near androgen and estrogen receptor binding sites, respectively.

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Neuronal activity underlying vocal production in bats
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 37-54, August 2025.Bats are known for their highly evolved echolocation and social vocalizations. They have been well studied in terms of auditory processing, but their neural circuits for vocal production are far less understood. This review highlights recent progress in mapping neural activity linked to vocalization in bats.

From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.Human disturbances have reduced the three basic niche dimensions for the survival of some mammalian species (space, time, and resources). Anthropic activities cause the extinction of ecological functionalities faster than species extinctions. In this study, we identified four types of habitats in the Ecuadorian Andean Chocó: primary forest (PF ...
