Bat cellular immunity varies by year and dietary habit in an increasingly fragmented landscape

I. K. DeAnglis, B. R. Andrews, L. R. Lock, K. E. Dyer, D. V. Volokhov, M. B. Fenton, N. B. Simmons, C. J. Downs, D. J. Becker

The paper examines how habitat fragmentation and dietary habits affect cellular immunity and infection risk in three Neotropical bat species over three years.

Body size affects immune cell proportions in birds and non-volant mammals, but not bats

E. Cornelius Ruhs, D. J. Becker, S. J. Oakey, O. Ogunsina, M. B. Fenton, N. B. Simmons, L. B. Martin, C. J. Downs

The paper examines how body size affects immune cell proportions in bats, birds, and non-volant mammals, finding no scaling relationship in bats but strong scaling in birds and non-volant mammals.

Temporal patterns of vampire bat rabies and host connectivity in Belize

D. J. Becker, A. Broos, L. M. Bergner, D. K. Meza, N. B. Simmons, M. B. Fenton, S. Altizer, D. G. Streicker

This study examines rabies virus dynamics in vampire bats in northern Belize, finding high seroprevalence and asynchronous infection patterns between sites.

Disentangling interactions among mercury, immunity, and infection in a Neotropical bat community

D. Becker, K. Speer, J. Korstian, D. Volokhov, H. Droke, A. Brown, C. Baijnauth, T. Padgett-Stewart, H. Broders, R. Plowright, T. Rainwater, M. B. Fenton, N. Simmons, M. Chumchal

The paper examines how mercury contamination interacts with immunity and infection in Neotropical bats, finding that higher mercury levels are linked to lower infection odds in some species but not others.

Ecological and evolutionary drivers of hemoplasma infection and bacterial genotype sharing in a Neotropical bat community

D. Becker, K. Speer, A. Brown, M. B. Fenton, A. Washburne, S. Altizer, D. Streicker, R. Plowright, V. Chizhikov, N. B. Simmons, D. Volokhov

The paper examines hemoplasma infection prevalence and genetic diversity in Neotropical bats, finding high host specificity and phylogenetic constraints on bacterial sharing.
