Bats and birds live substantially longer on average than non-flying mammals of similar body
size. The combination of small body size, high metabolic rates, and long lifespan in bats and …

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 …

Estimating variation in demographic rates, such as survival and fecundity, is important for
testing life‐history theory and identifying conservation and management goals. 2. We used …

ABSTRACT 1 Hipposideros turpis is traditionally known as a species composed of three
subspecies, H. t. turpis, H. t. alongensis and H. t. pendleburyi, distributed disjunctly in south …

Domestic cats are suspected to have an impact on wild populations of birds and small
mammals, but published reports of predation on bats are either rare or anecdotal. We based …

Wind turbine-associated bat mortality is occurring at unanticipated rates, yet our
understanding of the causes of these fatalities is limited. The prominent proximate causes of …

Bats are natural reservoirs for the majority of lyssaviruses globally, and are unique among
mammals in having exceptional sociality and longevity. Given these facets, and the …

Eptesicus Rafinesque, 1820 is widely distributed in the Old and New World (26 species),
and Histiotus Gervais, 1856 is a South American endemic (11 species). Molecular …

During autumn in the temperate zone of both the new and old world, bats of many species
assemble at underground sites in a behaviour known as swarming. Autumn swarming …

Age is an important ecological tool in wildlife conservation. However, it is difficult to estimate
in most animals, including felines—most of whom are endangered. Here, we developed the …
