In a recent study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers conduct an evolutionary analysis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related bat β-coronavirus ...

The deadly fungal disease known as white-nose syndrome has spread to bat colonies throughout eastern North America over the past seven years, causing bat populations to crash, with several species now ...

Enlarge and trace wing pattern twice onto cardboard; cut out. Hot-glue the wings together in the center with a slight overlap. Paint wings gray; let dry. Paint the wing outline and veins black.

Ecological assessments of the effects of anthropogenic change often focus on species richness or species abundances. Nonetheless, changes in behavior (e.g., activity patterns) may provide equally ...

In the course of evolution manifold sensory systems developed which allowed animals varying possibilities to perceive their environment. Many insect species for example, but also some fish, amphibians ...

If you’ve ever caught yourself picking up a friend’s accent or slang, you already understand a little bit about vampire bats.

White patches of fungus can be seen on this northern long-eared bat affected by white-nose syndrome in Illinois. (Photo by J.R. Hoyt) UC Santa Cruz graduate student Joseph Hoyt releases a little brown ...
