Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Human Exposure to Novel Bartonella Species from Contact with Fruit Bats

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Twice a year in southwestern Nigeria, during a traditional bat festival, community participants enter designated caves to capture bats, which are then consumed for food or traded. We investigated the presence of Bartonella species in Egyptian fruit bats (

Perceived and actual ecosystem services by fruit bats, birds and primates in litchi orchards agroecosystems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 3055-3064, November 2025.
This study recorded relatively low incidences of crop raiding by fruit bats and highlights the economic benefits of biocontrol by insectivorous bats and birds, which outweighed the yield losses by fruit bats, birds and monkeys. Vertebrate exclusion to prevent crop damage limits access and biocontrol benefits provided by bats and birds.

Detecting Convergence of Amino Acid Physicochemical Properties Underlying the Organismal Adaptive Convergent Evolution

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Many studies have proposed various comparative genomic methods to probe the molecular basis for adaptive functional convergence between species, conventionally by detecting the convergence of amino acid states between orthologous protein sequences of these species or lineages.

Morphology of the lingual papillae in the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus)

Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, 2012
The dorsal lingual surface of the Egyptian rousette bat was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Filiform, fungiform and vallate papillae were observed. The filiform papillae were distributed over the entire dorsal surface of the tongue. The filiform papillae notably differed in morphology by their location on the tongue and could be classified ...

Physiological and Behavioural Strategies of Bats From Arid Environments

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 4, October 2025.
Deserts are characterized by high ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation and low water availability. Desert bats are smaller, have lower energy expenditures, lower water losses, higher wing aspect ratios and lower wing loadings than bats living in mesic environments.

On the distribution of the Egyptian Fruit Bat Rousettus aegyptiacus in Saudi Arabia (Mammalia: Chiroptera)

, 2023
New records of the Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) from 14 sites situated in the north-western part of Saudi Arabia interconnect the previously known parts of the distributon range of this bat in Arabia and suggest its continuous occurrence in

Spatial networks differ when food supply changes: Foraging strategy of Egyptian fruit bats.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Animals are faced with a range of ecological constraints that shape their behavioural decisions. Habitat features that affect resource abundance will also have an impact, especially as regards spatial distribution, which will in turn affect associations ...
