Habituation of common vampire bats to biologgers. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci, 2021
Rapid advancements in biologging technology have led to unprecedented insights into animal behaviour, but testing the effects of biologgers on tagged animals is necessary for both scientific and ethical reasons.

Social Grooming in Bats: Are Vampire Bats Exceptional? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Evidence for long-term cooperative relationships comes from several social birds and mammals. Vampire bats demonstrate cooperative social bonds, and like primates, they maintain these bonds through social grooming.

Dynamics of influenza transmission in vampire bats revealed by longitudinal monitoring and a large-scale anthropogenic perturbation. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Interrupting pathogen transmission between species is a priority strategy to mitigate zoonotic threats. However, avoiding counterproductive interventions requires knowing animal reservoirs of infection and the dynamics of transmission within them ...

Vampire Bats and Wild Boars in Northern Paraná: One Health Perspectives on a Novel Report. [PDF]

Scientifica (Cairo)
Since its introduction to the Americas in the early 20th century, the wild boar (Sus scrofa) has affected Brazilian ecosystems and may have contributed to the spread of zoonotic diseases, especially rabies.

Ecological determinants of rabies virus dynamics in vampire bats and spillover to livestock. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2022
The pathogen transmission dynamics in bat reservoirs underpin efforts to reduce risks to human health and enhance bat conservation, but are notoriously challenging to resolve.

Social effects of rabies infection in male vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus). [PDF]

Biol Lett, 2022
Rabies virus (RABV) transmitted by the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) poses a threat to agricultural development and public health throughout the Neotropics.

Vocal convergence during formation of social relationships in vampire bats. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci
In many group-living birds and mammals, the formation of affiliative relationships is hypothesized to cause vocal convergence (an increase in call similarity between individuals).

Does Mouth-Licking In Vampire Bats Serve Other Functions Besides Food Sharing? [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition
Regurgitated food sharing in vampire bats is a cooperative behavior that has garnered scientific interest as an example of reciprocal helping among kin and non-kin. The amount of food given is estimated via the duration of mouth-licking.

Forced proximity promotes the formation of enduring cooperative relationships in vampire bats. [PDF]

Biol Lett, 2022
Spatial assortment can be both a cause and consequence of cooperation. Proximity promotes cooperation when individuals preferentially help nearby partners, and conversely, cooperation drives proximity when individuals move towards more cooperative ...

Social convergence of gut microbiomes in vampire bats. [PDF]

Biol Lett, 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.
