Host-pathogen evolutionary signatures reveal dynamics and future invasions of vampire bat rabies [PDF]
, 2016 Anticipating how epidemics will spread across landscapes requires understanding host dispersal events that are notoriously difficult to measure. Here, we contrast host and virus genetic signatures to resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics underlying ...

Bats and their role in human rabies epidemiology in the Americas
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008 Bats are very interesting animals: they are the unique flying mammals, have developed a highly sophisticated echolocation system, and have become specialized to eat different types of diets.

Genome-wide signatures of convergent evolution in echolocating mammals [PDF]
, 2013 Evolution is typically thought to proceed through divergence of genes, proteins, and ultimately phenotypes(1-3). However, similar traits might also evolve convergently in unrelated taxa due to similar selection pressures(4,5).
