Parasitism on bats by bat flies in remnants of a humid forest enclave area in Northeastern Brazil

Allyson dos Santos da Silva et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to describe the community of flies on bats in a humid forest enclave in Northeastern Brazil and investigate the influence of dry and rainy periods on parasitological indices. The results suggest that the bat-fly relationship can be affected by environmental variables in different ways depending on the species involved. This study contributes to the knowledge about bat ectoparasites in the Neotropical region, particularly in humid forest enclaves where research on the host-parasite-environment relationship is scarce.

Sex-biased parasitism, host mass and mutualistic bat flies: an antagonistic individual-based network of bat-bat fly interactions

Daniel Maximo Correa Alcantara et al.

Summary: Individual-based networks play a crucial role in understanding the interactions between bats and their parasites. The variation among individuals can affect the dynamics of parasites. This study found that in the network of lesser bulldog bats and bat flies, male individuals with greater body mass take on important roles, while the importance of females is not related to body mass or forearm length. Additionally, the abundance of a certain parasite species also influences the network structure.

Interaction networks between bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) and ectoparasitic flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) in the Colombian Orinoquia Region

Camila Lopez Rivera et al.

Summary: The study of host-parasite interactions is crucial for understanding ecological interactions. In this study, the interaction networks between bats and their ectoparasitic flies in two different landscapes were compared, revealing that degraded landscapes may affect bat hosts and increase the prevalence of ectoparasitic flies.

Visual system characterization of the obligate bat ectoparasite Trichobius frequens (Diptera: Streblidae)

Megan L. Porter et al.

Summary: As an obligate ectoparasite of bats, the bat fly Trichobius frequens has significantly reduced visual system as a result of evolution in the dark, but still functional with the expression of Rh1 opsin. Their eyes consist of 8 facets on average, with a fused rhabdom consisting of 11 to 18 estimated retinula cells, and dimensions similar to other nocturnal insects.

A new cryptic species of yellow-eared bat Vampyressa melissa species complex (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from Colombia

Darwin M. Morales-Martinez et al.

Summary: The Vampyressa melissa species complex consists of three rare bat species, with one undescribed species. They are distributed on the eastern slopes of the Andes with unique morphological characteristics. Due to geographic constraints and biological rarity, these three species may be threatened with extinction.
