Social convergence of gut microbiomes in vampire bats
Biology Letters, 2021 The ‘social microbiome’ can fundamentally shape the costs and benefits of group-living, but understanding social transmission of microbes in free-living animals is challenging due to confounding effects of kinship and shared environments (e.g.

Spatial expansions and travelling waves of rabies in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2016 A major obstacle to anticipating the cross-species transmission of zoonotic diseases and developing novel strategies for their control is the scarcity of data informing how these pathogens circulate within natural reservoir populations.
