Supersize me: torpor assists pre-hibernation fattening in a boreal bat

M. A. Fjelldal, N. R. Fritzen, K. M. Suominen, T. Lilley

This study investigates how torpor use in boreal bats relates to pre-hibernation fattening, finding that torpor may conserve rather than facilitate mass gain.

Thermoregulation and Diurnal Roost Selection of Boreal Bats During Pre-Hibernation Period

K. M. Suominen, N. R. Fritzen, M. A. Fjelldal, A. S. Blomberg, M. J. K. Viljamaa, T. Lilley

This study investigates how two bat species select roosts and use torpor during autumn, finding that the date in autumn is a stronger driver of torpor use than temperature, with specific strategies for fat accumulation.

Signals of positive selection in Palearctic bat species coexisting with a fungal pathogen

V. G. Twort, V. N. Laine, F. Whiting-Fawcett, F. Ito dos Santos, T. Lilley, K. Field

The paper identifies 38 genes under positive selection in Eurasian bats, likely due to historical pressure from white-nose syndrome, which may explain their tolerance to the fungal pathogen.

Next-generation ultrasonic recorders facilitate effective bat activity and distribution monitoring by citizen scientists

P. Lundberg, M. Meierhofer, V. Vasko, M. Suutari, A. Ojala, A. Vainio, T. Lilley

This study shows citizen scientists can collect comparable bat activity data to researchers using calibrated equipment and instructions, expanding geographic coverage and habitat diversity.

Winter activity of boreal bats

A. S. Blomberg, V. Vasko, M. Meierhofer, J. S. Johnson, T. Eeva, T. Lilley

This study investigates winter activity and hibernation site selection of boreal bats using acoustic monitoring, finding increased activity near rock outcrops and root cellars, and a link between temperature and bat activity.

Roosting ecology of the southernmost bats, Myotis chiloensis and Histiotus magellanicus, in southern Tierra del Fuego, Chile

G. Ossa, T. Lilley, A. G. Waag, M. B. Meierhofer, J. S. Johnson

This study examines day-roosting habits and thermoregulation in two bat species in southern Tierra del Fuego, finding frequent torpor use and habitat preferences linked to temperature and tree size.

Genome-wide changes in genetic diversity in a population of Myotis lucifugus affected by white-nose syndrome

T. Lilley, I. Wilson, K. A. Field, D. M. Reeder, M. E. Vodzak, G. G. Turner, A. Kurta, A. S. Blomberg, S. Hoff, C. Herzog, B. J. Sewall, S. Paterson

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze genetic diversity changes in Myotis lucifugus before and after white-nose syndrome, finding increased divergence in a specific genomic region associated with thermoregulation.

Population connectivity predicts vulnerability to white-nose syndrome in the Chilean myotis (Myotis chiloensis) - a genomics approach

T. Lilley, T. M. Sävilammi, G. Ossa, A. S. Blomberg, A. Vasemägi, V. Yung, D. L. Vendrami, J. S. Johnson

The paper uses genomics to analyze population structure and connectivity of Chilean myotis, finding isolation-by-distance and low connectivity, which may reduce disease spread risk.
