This study tracks SARSr-CoV evolution in Rhinolophus bats over 10 years, revealing host factors driving viral diversification and adaptation.

The paper examines how early-life environmental conditions and maternal age affect telomere length in two bat species and finds no link between early telomere length and short-term survival.

This study shows that Molossus molossus bats live longer than previously thought and exhibit minimal telomere shortening with age, challenging assumptions about bat ageing.

The paper integrates ecological data and mechanistic modeling to show that mating behavior and maternal immunity drive EBLV-2 dynamics in bats, with limited population impact.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial heteroplasmy in aging bats to test the Free Radical Theory of Ageing, finding age-related increases but dynamic patterns inconsistent with the theory.
