In recent years, viruses similar to those that cause serious disease in humans and other
mammals have been detected in apparently healthy bats. These include filoviruses …

Exceptionally long-lived species, including many bats, rarely show overt signs of aging,
making it difficult to determine why species differ in lifespan. Here, we use DNA methylation …

Harnessing flight strategies refined by millions of years of evolution can help expedite the
design of more efficient, manoeuvrable and robust flying robots. This review synthesizes …

Given the diversity of prey consumed by insectivorous bats, it is difficult to discern the
composition of their diet using morphological or conventional PCR-based analyses of their …

This chapter is a brief introduction to inventory methods for mammals in terrestrial habitats,
with a focus on trapping methods for terrestrial small mammals, bats and medium-sized …

Processes associated with recovery of survivors are understudied components of wildlife
infectious diseases. White-nose syndrome (WNS) in bats provides an opportunity to study …

Cave ecosystems are subterranean biodiversity hotspots, but limited knowledge of the
distribution of diversity among caves hampers their conservation. Surveys of surrogate taxa …

We monitored a maternity colony of little brown myotis Myotis lucifugus on Fort Drum Military
Installation in northern New York in 2009 and 2010 for impacts associated with white-nose …

The evolution of wings has played a key role in the success of insect species, allowing them
to diversify to fill many niches. Insect wings are complex multifunctional structures, which not …

White-nose syndrome (WNS) is having an unprecedented impact on hibernating bat
populations in the eastern United States. While most studies have focused on widespread …
