Controlled hyperthermia by flying-foxes in the wild: understanding mammalian tolerance to hotter summer conditions

Melissa Jane Walker, Justin A. Welbergen, Jessica Meade, Terry B. Reardon et autres

Extreme heat events increasingly challenge the thermoregulatory capacities of wildlife, as the frequency, intensity, and duration of these events rise under climate change. Biologging can reveal the physiological and behavioural responses of wild animals to natural variation in environmental conditions, but few …

Emergence and Return Times in a Colonial, Cave‐Dwelling Bat: Age and Sex Differences Driven by Reproductive Cycle

Nicola J. Bail, Linda F. Lumsden, Terry B. Reardon, Emmi van Harten et autres

ABSTRACT The time that bats emerge and subsequently return from a colonial roost determines their maximum foraging period and influences their exposure to mortality risks. The order in which different age and sex cohorts emerge and return reflects variation in these cohorts' …

BatMap – authoritative distribution maps for Australian bats

D. Milne, Terry B. Reardon, Greg Ford

BatMap is a project that has enabled the development of spatial distribution maps for all mainland Australian and Tasmanian bat species. The distribution maps were developed by bat experts and are actively updated and maintained by utilising the collective knowledge of the …

Novel passive detection approach reveals low breeding season survival and apparent lactation cost in a critically endangered cave bat

Emmi van Harten, Ruth E. Lawrence, Linda F. Lumsden, Terry B. Reardon et autres

Capture-mark-recapture/resight (CMR) methods are used for survival-rate studies, yet are often limited by small sample sizes. Advances in passive integrated transponder (PIT) technology have enabled passive detection or 'resight' of marked individuals using large antennas with greater read-ranges than previously possible. We …

Seasonal population dynamics and movement patterns of a critically endangered, cave-dwelling bat, Miniopterus orianae bassanii

Emmi van Harten, Ruth E. Lawrence, Linda F. Lumsden, Terry B. Reardon et autres

Context Seasonal migration and movements of bats have important implications for their conservation. The southern bent-winged bat (Miniopterus orianae bassanii), a critically endangered cave-dwelling taxon in Australia, has been described as undertaking regional-scale migration between maternity and non-breeding caves. Aims To describe …

Diverse moth prey identified in the diet of the critically endangered southern bent-wing bat (Miniopterus orianae bassanii) using DNA metabarcoding of scats

Johanna G. Kuhne, Jeremy J. Austin, Terry B. Reardon, Thomas A. A. Prowse

Context Globally, insectivorous bats are important moderators of insect populations, including agricultural pests. However, in human-modified environments, changes to insect diversity and abundance may have detrimental impacts on bat populations. The southern bent-wing bat (SBWB; Miniopterus orianae bassanii), is a critically endangered, …

Spring foraging movements of an urban population of grey-headed flying foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus)

Wayne Boardman, DAVID A. ROSHIER, Terry B. Reardon, Kathryn Burbidge et autres

Abstract Flying foxes provide ecologically and economically important ecosystem services but extensive clearing and modification of habitat and drought combined with the planting of commercial and non-commercial trees across various landscapes, has meant flying foxes in Australia are increasingly seeking foraging resources …

Serological evidence of exposure to a coronavirus antigenically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome virus (SARS‐CoV‐1) in the Grey‐headed flying fox ( Pteropus poliocephalus )

Wayne Boardman, Michelle L. Baker, Victoria Boyd, Gary S. Crameri et autres

Many infectious pathogens can be transmitted by highly mobile species, like bats that can act as reservoir hosts for viruses such as henipaviruses, lyssaviruses and coronaviruses. In this study, we investigated the seroepidemiology of protein antigens to Severe acute respiratory syndrome virus …

Seroprevalence of three paramyxoviruses; Hendra virus, Tioman virus, Cedar virus and a rhabdovirus, Australian bat lyssavirus, in a range expanding fruit bat, the Grey-headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus)

Wayne Boardman, Michelle L. Baker, Victoria Boyd, Gary S. Crameri et autres

Habitat-mediated global change is driving shifts in species' distributions which can alter the spatial risks associated with emerging zoonotic pathogens. Many emerging infectious pathogens are transmitted by highly mobile species, including bats, which can act as spill-over hosts for pathogenic viruses. Over …

Does size matter? Morphometrics of southern bent-winged bats ( Miniopterus orianae bassanii ) and eastern bent-winged bats ( Miniopterus orianae oceanensis )

Peter H. Holz, Linda F. Lumsden, Terry B. Reardon, Paul H. Gray et autres

ABSTRACT The population size of the southern bent-winged bat, a critically endangered bat subspecies, has significantly declined in the last 50 years. As part of a larger study to determine whether disease could be a contributing factor to this decline, morphometric data …

Does the fungus causing white-nose syndrome pose a significant risk to Australian bats?

Peter H. Holz, Jasmin Hufschmid, Phillip Cassey, Simon Matthew Firestone et autres

Abstract Context Pseudogymnoascus destructans is the fungus responsible for white-nose syndrome (WNS), which has killed millions of hibernating bats in North America, but also occurs in bats in Europe and China without causing large-scale population effects. This is likely to be due …
