Coronavirus Detection in Bats Captured on the Deforestation Arc of Mato Grosso, Brazil. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Coronaviruses (CoV) are RNA viruses associated with enteric and respiratory diseases and known for their emergence potential in humans and other mammals. CoVs originate from zoonotic transmission, in which bats are natural reservoirs. Previous studies suggest that CoV diversity is positively correlated with bat diversity, whereas anthropogenic

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how ecological traits and evolutionary history influence the occupancy of 27 bat species along a 1300 m elevational gradient in subtropical Brazil. While ecological traits poorly predicted species' responses, occupancy varied with temperature in a phylogenetically conserved manner, suggesting that elevational niches in bats may be ...

Host-Driven Genetic Diversity of <i>Leptospira</i> in the Americas: A Continental Perspective. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co-roosting host communities. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

Infection by Adenovirus Type 2 in a Short-Tailed Bat in Mexico. [PDF]

Case Rep Vet Med
A short‐tailed female bat (Carollia perspicillata), 1 year old, died without apparent signs of the disease while on display at an amusement park in the Municipality of Montemorelos, Nuevo León, Mexico. Amphophilic nuclear inclusion bodies were observed in the intestinal epithelia, corresponding to the virus of the adenovirus genera. Although there have

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]

, 2016
Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Dispersão de sementes de Vismia cayennensis (Jacq.) Pers. (Guttiferae) por morcegos na região de Manaus, Amazonas Seed dispersal of Vismia cayennensis (Jacq.) Pers (Guttiferae) by bats in Manaus, Amazonas

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 1994
Estudou-se o comportamento alimentar de morcegos e o seu papel na dispersão de sementes de Vismia cayennensis na região de Manaus, Amazonas. As características da planta e dos frutos correspondem à síndrome de quiropterocoria.

Divisão de cuidados ou alteração hormonal? Relato de lactação masculina em Sturnira lilium (Phyllostomidae) na Mata Atlântica, Sul do Brasil

Biotemas, 2023
Não existem barreiras morfofisiológicas para o desenvolvimento das glândulas mamárias em machos, porém, o fato de não amamentarem sua prole é intrigante e tem levantado inúmeras questões há muito tempo.
