Complexin-1 enhances ultrasound neurotransmission in the mammalian auditory pathway
Unlike megabats, which rely on well-developed vision, microbats use ultrasonic echolocation to navigate and locate prey. To study ultrasound perception, here we compared the auditory cortices of microbats and ...

Experimental investigation on strength behavior and microstructure of unsaturated net-like red soil
The relationships between matric suction, microstructure, mineral composition, and shear strength of unsaturated net-like red soils are important for engineering practice. Here the strength behavior and micros...

Open AccessCospeciation of coronavirus and paramyxovirus with their bat hosts in the same geographical areas
Bat-borne viruses are relatively host specific. We hypothesize that this host specificity is due to coevolution of the viruses with their hosts. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the coevolution of coro...

Open AccessIsolation of MERS-related coronavirus from lesser bamboo bats that uses DPP4 and infects human-DPP4-transgenic mice
While a number of human coronaviruses are believed to be originated from ancestral viruses in bats, it remains unclear if bat coronaviruses are ready to cause direct bat-to-human transmission. Here, we report ...

Open AccessOrigin and cross-species transmission of bat coronaviruses in China
Bats are presumed reservoirs of diverse coronaviruses (CoVs) including progenitors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. However, the evolution and di...

Difference in glucose tolerance between phytophagous and insectivorous bats
Bats are mostly insectivorous or phytophagous. It is hypothesized that bats are evolved from small insectivorous mammals. Therefore, the digestive and metabolic systems of phytophagous and insectivorous bats m...

Fecal Bacteriome and Mycobiome in Bats with Diverse Diets in South China
Bats can be divided into frugivory, nectarivory, insectivory, and sanguivory based on their diets, and are therefore ideal wild animal models to study the relationship between diets and intestinal microflora. ...
