climate change and the effects of temperature extremes on australian flying-foxes.	little is known about the effects of temperature extremes on natural systems. this is of increasing concern now that climate models predict dramatic increases in the intensity, duration and frequency of such extremes. here we examine the effects of temperature extremes on behaviour and demography of vulnerable wild flying-foxes (pteropus spp.). on 12 january 2002 in new south wales, australia, temperatures exceeding 42 degrees c killed over 3500 individuals in nine mixed-species colonies. in one ...	2008	18048286
spatiotemporal aspects of hendra virus infection in pteropid bats (flying-foxes) in eastern australia.	hendra virus (hev) causes highly lethal disease in horses and humans in the eastern australian states of queensland (qld) and new south wales (nsw), with multiple equine cases now reported on an annual basis. infection and excretion dynamics in pteropid bats (flying-foxes), the recognised natural reservoir, are incompletely understood. we sought to identify key spatial and temporal factors associated with excretion in flying-foxes over a 2300 km latitudinal gradient from northern qld to southern ...	2015	26625128
