Hidden Losses: Assessing the Risk of Coextinction Among Ectoparasitic Flies and Their Bat Host Species in Brazil

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).

Plain-nosed bats (family Vespertilionidae) as a possible reservoir of lyssaviruses and coronaviruses in Western Siberia and the south of European Russia

Вопросы вирусологии
The review presents current data on the chiropterofauna inhabiting Western Siberia and the south of the European part of Russia. A general description of the genus of lyssaviruses and the family of coronaviruses is given. The potential for virus carriage

Chiroptera Personality—A Guide for Assessing Personality Variation in Bats: Ecological, Methodological and Statistical Considerations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This paper addresses the underrepresentation of bats in animal personality research despite their ecological importance, offering a structured guide for studying consistent individual behavioural differences in this taxon. We outline key experimental, fieldwork and annotation considerations specific to bats' unique life histories, alongside a five‐step

Myotis yumanensis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2015
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Myotis yumanensis (Allen, 1864) is a vespertilionid bat commonly called the Yuma myotis. The species exhibits considerable geographic variation in coloration and size. It is 1 of about 100 species of Myotis worldwide and 1 of 17 species of Myotis in the United States. Although common throughout western

Sexual Dimorphism as a Potential Driver of Trophic Specialisation in a Sedentary Synanthropic Bat Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Female common serotine bats (Cnephaeus serotinus) are consistently larger than males in forearm length, wing area and mandibular dimensions related to bite force. Wing dimorphism reflects isometric size scaling rather than shape divergence, suggesting compensation for pregnancy‐related mass increases.

Histiotus magellanicus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) [PDF]

Mammalian Species, 2019
AbstractHistiotus magellanicus (Philippi, 1866) is a vespertilionid bat called the southern big-eared brown bat. The dark color of the ears and the absence of a connecting band between the ears are the characters that clearly differentiate this species from all other species of Histiotus.

Surgical management of post‐traumatic abdominal hernias in three rehabilitated microchiropteran (Vespertilionid) bats (Nyctalus noctula and Eptesicus serotinus)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract Abdominal hernias in bats are rarely reported in the literature, with most reports evaluating postmortem findings. The present study documents successful surgical management of post‐traumatic abdominal hernias in three vespertilionid bats. Three injured bats (two Nyctalus noctula and one Eptesicus serotinus) were admitted for veterinary care ...

Vulnerability of Bats in Australia to Wind Turbine Mortality: A Trait‐Based Assessment

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Wind turbine collisions are a leading cause of bat mortality globally, yet the vulnerability of Australian bat taxa remains poorly understood. Trait‐based assessments offer a valuable method for evaluating mortality risk in the absence of data on species‐ and region‐specific turbine interactions.
