DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-57632-4
Abstract: Mines and caves provide essential roosting places for bats, but often they are obstructed to prevent entry by humans. To allow bats to access their roosts, metal corrugated culvert pipes are sometimes installed. Wildlife surveys… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/vbz.2023.0126
Abstract: Background: Throughout the Americas, Lyssavirus rabies (RV) perpetuates as multiple variants among bat and mesocarnivore species. Interspecific RV spillover occurs on occasion, but clusters and viral host shifts are rare. The spillover and host shift… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.231384
Abstract: Phylogeographic accounts of mammals across fragmented landscapes show high levels of genetic, morphological and ecological variation. The big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) widely spans mainland landmasses from Canada to Ecuador and Colombia, and the insular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.0635
Abstract: Comparative analyses of bats indicate that hibernation is associated with increased longevity among species. However, it is not yet known if hibernation affects biological ageing of individuals. Here, we use DNA methylation (DNAm) as an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2024.1560
Abstract: Hearing mediates many behaviors critical for survival in echolocating bats, including foraging and navigation. Most mammals are susceptible to progressive age-related hearing loss; however, the evolution of biosonar, which requires the ability to hear low-intensity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2021-0067
Abstract: Olfactory cues provide detailed information to mammals regarding conspecifics. Bats may identify species, colony membership, and individual’s using olfaction. Big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus (Palisot de Beauvois, 1976)) live in mixed-sex colonies and must differentiate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/03009858241231556
Abstract: Bats have many unique qualities amongst mammals; one of particular importance is their reported tolerance to viruses without developing disease. Here, the authors present evidence to the contrary by describing and demonstrating viral nucleic acids… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2025.1690988
Abstract: Big brown bats ( Eptesicus fuscus ) have a diverse vocal repertoire. We tested the hypothesis that frequency-modulated bouts (FMBs) are male-specific calls produced during food competition. Seven pairs of bats (male-male, male-female, female-female) competed… read more here.
