Structure, Dynamics, and Neural Codes in a Bat Social Network

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1558, Issue 1, April 2026.
We studied group formation in highly social Egyptian fruit bats housed in a laboratory cave. Using advanced tracking, videography, and wireless single‐unit neural recordings, we showed that social networks evolved dynamically and then stabilized, with social hierarchy shaping behaviors such as food access and sleeping arrangements.

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.

Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 137-150, January 2026.
This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.

Effects of Heat Stress on the Fat Greenling (Hexagrammos otakii) Necroptosis Mediated by MLKL and Heart Injury

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mixed lineage kinase domain‐like pseudokinase (MLKL) is a key effector of necroptosis. We identified an MLKL homologue from Hexagrammos otakii, named HoMLKL. The open reading frame (ORF) of HoMLKL contained 1497 nucleotides and encoded a protein with 498 amino acids (Mw = 57.15 kDa). Bioinformatic analysis revealed that HoMLKL is highly conserved.

Isolation of genetically diverse Marburg viruses from Egyptian fruit bats.

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
In July and September 2007, miners working in Kitaka Cave, Uganda, were diagnosed with Marburg hemorrhagic fever. The likely source of infection in the cave was Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) based on detection of Marburg virus RNA in 31/611

Seasonal shedding patterns of diverse henipavirus-related paramyxoviruses in Egyptian rousette bats

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bat-borne viruses in the Henipavirus genus have been associated with zoonotic diseases of high morbidity and mortality in Asia and Australia. In Africa, the Egyptian rousette bat species (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is an important viral host in which ...

High‐Resolution Mapping of Environmental Suitability for Reported Ebola Spillover Events in Uganda to Inform Surveillance and Preparedness

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Uganda experiences recurrent Ebola disease (EBOD) outbreaks, yet national suitability maps often pool virus species or are too coarse for district‐level planning. We aimed to generate species‐resolved, 1 km relative environmental suitability surfaces for reported Ebola spillover events in Uganda; quantify the contribution of environmental ...
