comparative chromosome painting of four siberian vespertilionidae species with aselliscus stoliczkanus and human probes.vespertilionidae is the largest chiropteran family that comprises species of different specialization and wide geographic distribution. up to now, only a few vespertilionid species have been studied by molecular cytogenetic approaches. here, we have investigated the karyotypic relationships of 4 vespertilionidae species from siberia by g-banding and comparative chromosome painting. painting probes from aselliscus stoliczkanus were used to establish interspecific homologous chromosomal segments i ...201121709413
identification of mammalian orthoreovirus type 3 in italian bats.summary this study describes the isolation and molecular characterization of mammalian orthoreovirus (mrv) in microbats. faecal samples and dead individuals available from rehabilitation centres or collected from known roost sites were virologically tested. in total, 112 carcasses of bats found dead, and 44 faecal samples were analysed. nineteen viral strains were isolated by in vitro cell culture from faecal and tissue samples of different bat species (pipistrellus khulii, tadarida teniotis, rh ...201322931153
detection of diverse novel bat astrovirus sequences in the czech republic.astroviruses are a major cause of gastroenteritis in humans and animals. recently, novel groups of astroviruses were identified in apparently healthy insectivorous bats. we report the detection of diverse novel astrovirus sequences in nine different european bat species: eptesicus serotinus, hypsugo savii, myotis emarginatus, m. mystacinus, nyctalus noctula, pipistrellus nathusii or p. pygmaeus, p. pipistrellus, vespertilio murinus, and rhinolophus hipposideros. in six bat species, astrovirus se ...201526273815
penis size and sperm quality, are all bats grey in the dark?penises play a key role in sperm transport and in stimulating female genitals. this should impact post-copulatory competition, and expose penis characteristics to sexual selective pressures. studies of male genitalia have repeatedly reported negative static allometries, which mean that, within species, large males have disproportionally small genitals when compared with smaller individuals. males of some sperm-storing bat species may stand as an exception to such a pattern by arousing from hiber ...201931857816
metagenomic analysis of fecal and tissue samples from 18 endemic bat species in switzerland revealed a diverse virus composition including potentially zoonotic viruses.many recent disease outbreaks in humans had a zoonotic virus etiology. bats in particular have been recognized as reservoirs to a large variety of viruses with the potential to cross-species transmission. in order to assess the risk of bats in switzerland for such transmissions, we determined the virome of tissue and fecal samples of 14 native and 4 migrating bat species. in total, sequences belonging to 39 different virus families, 16 of which are known to infect vertebrates, were detected. con ...202134133435
argasid and spinturnicid mite load on swarming bats in the tatra mountains, poland.altogether 445 bats, representing nine species, caught during swarming in the lodowa cave in mount ciemniak, western tatra mountains, southern poland, were examined for ectoparasitic mites. in total, 259 spinturnicid (spinturnix mystacina, s. andegavinus, s. kolenatii, s. plecotinus and s. myoti) and 95 argasid (carios vespertilionis) mites were collected from seven bat species, myotis myotis, m. mystacinus, m. brandtii, m. daubentonii, eptesicus nilssonii, plecotus auritus, and vespertilio muri ...201122263314
new strains of rabies-related viruses isolated from bats in the ukraine.two strains (ub-1 and ub-2) of rabies-related viruses were isolated from the brain of nyctalus noctula and vespertilio murinus captured from the hollows of tall trees on the left bank of pripyat river in the volynsky region of ukrainian s.s.r. the viruses were isolated by means of intracerebral inoculation to white mice. the isolates were identified as rabies-related viruses of duvenhage type in an indirect test of fluorescent antibodies with the panels of nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies (nc ...19911683127
mycotic dermatitis in a vagrant parti-coloured bat (vespertilio murinus) in great britain. 201122141129
[ectoparasites of the particoloured bat (vespertilio murinus linnaeus, 1758, chiroptera, mammalia) from the urals and adjacent regions].the fauna of ectoparasites of the particoloured bat (vespertilio murinus linnaeus, 1758), the most common synanthropic bat in the urals, is examined. the core of the ectoparasite fauna consists of temporary ectoparasites--gamasid mites belonging to the genus steatonyssus. new findings of the poorly known species steatonyvssus superans are described.201425434198

the complete mitochondrial genome of the asian particolored bat vespertilio sinensis (chiroptera: vespertilionidae) in korea.the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the asian particolored bat, vespertilio sinensis, was determined. the genome organization, gene contents, and codon usage conformed to those of other bat mitochondrial genomes. the total length of the mitogenome of vespertilio sinensis is 16,971 bp with a total base composition of 32.6% a, 29.6% t, 23.7% c and 14.0% g. the mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna (12s and 16s rna) genes, 22 trna genes and 1 control reg ...201624660937
integration time for short broad band clicks in echolocating fm-bats (eptesicus fuscus).vespertilionid fm-bats (four eptesicus fuscus and one vespertilio murinus) were trained in an electronic phantom target simulator to detect synthetic echoes consisting of either one or two clicks. the threshold sound pressure for single clicks was around 47 db pespl for all five bats corresponding to a threshold energy of -95 db re 1 pa2*s. by varying the interclick interval, delta t, for double clicks it was shown that the threshold intensity was around -3 db relative to the threshold for singl ...19968592305
comparative analysis of the amino acid spectrum of blood plasma in chiroptera (vespertilio murinus l., 1758 and myotis dasycneme b., 1825) in the fauna of the ural mountains.the article presents the results of a new comparative analysis of free amino acids in the blood plasma of representatives of insectivorous chiroptera (mammalia: vespertilionidae) in the fauna of the ural mountains: the pond bat (myotis dasycneme boie, 1825) and the parti-colored bat (vespertilio murinus linnaeus, 1758). this is the first study to show the species variability of free amino acids in resident and migratory species of bats from different ecosystems of the ural region.201830171470
bats increase vocal amplitude and decrease vocal complexity to mitigate noise interference during social communication.natural background noises are common in the acoustic environments in which most organisms have evolved. therefore, the vocalization and sound perception systems of vocal animals are inherently equipped to overcome natural background noise. human-generated noises, however, pose new challenges that can hamper audiovocal communication. the mechanisms animals use to cope with anthropogenic noise disturbances have been extensively explored in a variety of taxa. bats emit echolocation pulses primarily ...201930631993
morphological correlates of personality in female asian particolored bats (vespertilio sinensis).personality traits represent a leading edge in the evolutionary process, as natural selection acts directly on variations in individual phenotypes within populations. recent theoretical models have focused on the concept of adaptive state-dependent behavior, proposing that repeatable differences in behavior emerge because of individual differences in repeatable state variables, such as metabolic rate, age, sex, or body size. personality and its correlation with body size, however, have been rela ...202032059520
food restriction delays seasonal sexual maturation but does not increase torpor use in male bats.balancing energy budgets can be challenging, especially in periods of food shortage, adverse weather conditions and increased energy demand due to reproduction. bats have particularly high energy demands compared to other mammals and regularly use torpor to save energy. however, while torpor limits energy expenditure, it can also downregulate important processes, such as sperm production. this constraint could result in a trade-off between energy saving and future reproductive capacity. we mimic ...202032165436
changes in the gut microbiota during asian particolored bat (vespertilio sinensis) development.the gut microbiota is closely linked to host development, diet and health and is influenced by both the host and the environment. although many studies have focused on the dynamics of the gut microbiota during development in captive animals, few studies have focused on the dynamics of the gut microbiota during development in wild animals, especially for the order chiroptera.202032435532
