The family Phyllostomidae belongs to the most abundant and diverse group of bats in the Neotropics with more morphological traits variation at the family level than any other group within mammals. In this work, we present data of chromosome banding (G, C

Unveiling bat-plant interactions in the Maranhão Cerrado [PDF]
The Cerrado still represents a gap in knowledge about interactions between bats and plants, especially in the state of Maranhão. As this is the first study focused on the diet of frugivorous bats in the region, its aim was to characterize the ...

ABSTRACT Studies elucidating the molecular basis and evolutionary consequences of karyotypic changes in mammals remain scarce. Here, we investigate chromosomal evolution by focusing on two contrasting lineages within the family Vespertilionidae (Chiroptera): the karyotypically variable tribe Pipistrellini and the highly conserved genus Myotis ...

Perceptual strategies in active and passive hearing of neotropical bats [PDF]
Basic spectral and temporal sound properties, such as frequency content and timing, are evaluated by the auditory system to build an internal representation of the external world and to generate auditory guided behaviour. Using echolocating bats as model

Pollen essential amino acids shape bat–flower interaction networks
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although pollen consumption by phytophagous bats has long been documented, the role of its protein and amino acid content in driving plant–pollinator interactions remains largely overlooked.

Sex differences in DNA methylation in bats
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.

Inhibiting the inhibition [PDF]
The precedence effect describes the phenomenon whereby echoes are spatially fused to the location of an initial sound by selectively suppressing the directional information of lagging sounds (echo suppression).

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
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
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.
