A Van Der Waals Broadband Infrared Optical Synapse Enabling Orientation Detection
An infrared optoelectronic synapse based on a graphene/CrOCl/graphene van der Waals heterostructure is reported to possess a broadband synaptic response range from the visible to the infrared (520–2000 nm), which can be used to achieve orientation and motion detections of a target mimicing the pit organ of a pit vapor.

Epidemiology and biology of a herpesvirus in rabies endemic vampire bat populations
Here, Griffiths et al. show infection of 80–100% of sampled vampire bats in Peru with a newly discovered betaherpesvirus (DrBHV) that exhibits specificity within neotropical bats and evidence for superinfection.

Trypanosoma evansi and Surra: A review and perspectives on transmission, epidemiology and control, impact, and zoonotic aspects [PDF]
This paper reviews the transmission modes of Trypanosoma evansi. Its worldwide distribution is attributed to mechanical transmission. While the role of tabanids is clear, we raise questions on the relative role of Haematobia sp.

Haematology of New Zealand’s two extant endemic bat species
ABSTRACT This study investigated haematological values for New Zealand’s two extant endemic bats, the long‐tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) and the lesser short‐tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata), to determine whether differences in locomotion and ecology between these species might be reflected in the species’ haematology.

The Phylogeography of Rabies in Grenada, West Indies, and Implications for Control [PDF]
In Grenada, West Indies, rabies is endemic, and is thought to be maintained in a wildlife host, the small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) with occasional spillover into other hosts.

ABSTRACT The pre‐locomotor version of the Laboratory Temperament Assessment Battery (Lab‐TAB) provides one of the most widely used observational measures of fear based on the infant's reactivity to a series of four novel masks. Resulting indicators of facial and bodily fear intensity, as well as latency to exhibit a fearful response, have been ...

Chapparvoviruses occur in at least three vertebrate classes and have a broad biogeographic distribution [PDF]
Chapparvoviruses are a highly divergent group of parvoviruses (family Parvoviridae) that have recently been identified via metagenomic sampling of animal faeces.

Altruism is a key concept in the design of decentralized systems with high survivability. We focus on a community of vampire bats to reveal how intra-group altruism produces group-wide survivability.

Research monopolization in the biological sciences: Charismatic species are partly to blame
Abstract Substantial disparities in research excellence exist between scientists, which are largely explained by the considerable influence of elite institutions and the resources available to them. Cumulative advantage has become a dominant force behind social stratification in science, increasing the tendency of researchers to monopolize the ...
