Growing old, yet staying young: the role of telomeres in bat's exceptional long...
Foley, Nicole M.; Hughes, Graham M.; Huang, Zixia; Clarke, Michael; Jebb, David; Whelan, Conor V.; Petit, Eric J.; Touzalin, Frédéric; Farcy, OlivierUnderstanding aging is a grand challenge in biology. Exceptionally long-lived animals have mechanisms that underpin extreme longevity. Telomeres are protective nucleotide repeats on chromosome tips that shorten with cell division, potentially limiting life span. Bats are the longest-lived mammals for their size, but it is unknown whether their telomeres shorten. Using >60 years of cumulative mark-recapture fiel...
Should I stay or should I go? : climate change effects on the future of Neotrop...
Aguiar, Ludmilla Moura de Souza; Bernard, Enrico; Ribeiro, Vivian; Machado, Ricardo Bomfim; Jones, GarethMost extant species are survivors of the last climate change event 20,000 years ago. While past events took place over thousands of years, current climate change is occurring much faster, over a few decades. We modelled the potential distribution area of bat species in the Brazilian Cerrado, a Neotropical savannah, and assessed the potential impacts of climate change up to 2050 in two scenarios. First we evalua...
Predicting bat distributions and diversity hotspots in southern Africa
Cooper-Bohannon, Rachael; Rebelo, Hugo; Jones, Gareth; Cotterill, Fenton; Monadjem, Ara; Schoeman, M.Corrie; Taylor, Peter; Park, KirstySpecies distribution models were used to predict bat species richness across southern Africa and to identify potential drivers of these spatial patterns. We also identified species richness within each biotic zone and the distributions of species considered of high conservation priority. We used this information to highlight conservation priorities for bats in southern Africa (defined here as between the latitu...
Social calls are subject to stabilizing selection in insular bats
Russo, Danilo; Teixeira, Sérgio; Cistrone, Luca; Jesus, José; Teixeira, David; Freitas, Tamira; Jones, GarethAim Bats communicate by emitting social calls, and these often elicit reactions in conspecifics. Many such vocalizations are species-specific so that unambiguous signals can be transmitted and interpreted by conspecifics. In species-rich assemblages, evolutionary pressures might prompt interspecific diversification of call structure so that communication with heterospecifics is avoided. In species poor island c...
