Differences in seasonal survival suggest species‐specific reactions to climate change in two sympatric bat species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5292
Abstract: Abstract Long‐lived animals with a low annual reproductive output need a long time to recover from population crashes and are, thus, likely to face high extinction risk, if the current global environmental change will increase… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6315
Abstract: Abstract Repeated emergence of zoonotic viruses from bat reservoirs into human populations demands predictive approaches to preemptively identify virus‐carrying bat species. Here, we use machine learning to examine drivers of viral diversity in bats, determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107524
Abstract: Abstract Bat populations in eastern North America have experienced precipitous declines following the spread of white-nose syndrome (WNS) and other population stressors. It is imperative to understand changes in bat populations as WNS spreads to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182022000890
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Bats are mammalian hosts to a large diversity of eukaryotic protozoan blood parasites, including different genera of haemosporidians and diverse species of trypanosomes. Phylogenetic studies suggest that bats, particularly in Africa, have played… read more here.

Ambiguities in using telomere length for age determination in two North American bat species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Mammalogy"
DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyaa064
Abstract: The age of an animal, determined by time (chronological age) as well as genetic and environmental factors (biological age), influences the likelihood of mortality and reproduction and thus the animal's contribution to population growth. For… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.191805
Abstract: Secondary contacts can play a major role in the evolutionary histories of species. Various taxa diverge in allopatry and later on come into secondary contact during range expansions. When they meet, their interactions and the… read more here.

Assessing the distribution of a species‐rich group in a continental‐sized megadiverse country: Bats in Brazil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Diversity and Distributions"
DOI: 10.1111/ddi.13043
Abstract: AIM: The effective conservation and management of any given species frequently requires basic knowledge on its distribution, which is problematic for highly mobile, species‐ and ecologically‐rich groups, like bats. Moreover, to produce detailed distributions for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/nyas.14045
Abstract: Bats are an ecologically and taxonomically diverse group accounting for roughly a fifth of mammalian diversity worldwide. Many of the threats bats face (e.g., habitat loss, bushmeat hunting, and climate change) reflect the conservation challenges… read more here.

Cross-Species Transmission of Bat Coronaviruses in the Americas: Contrasting Patterns between Alphacoronavirus and Betacoronavirus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Microbiology Spectrum"
DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01411-22
Abstract: Coronaviruses (CoVs) have a strong zoonotic potential due to their high rates of evolvability and their capacity for overcoming host-specific barriers. Bats harbor the largest number of CoV species among mammals, with the highest CoV… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0186943
Abstract: Environmental disturbances in the Neotropics (e.g., deforestation, agriculture intensification, urbanization) contribute to an increasing risk of cross-species transmission of microorganisms and to disease outbreaks due to changing ecosystems of reservoir hosts. Although Amazonia encompasses the… read more here.
