Exceptionally long-lived species, including many bats, rarely show overt signs of aging,
making it difficult to determine why species differ in lifespan. Here, we use DNA methylation (…

Bats possess extraordinary adaptations, including flight, echolocation, extreme longevity and
unique immunity. High-quality genomes are crucial for understanding the molecular basis …

1. Patterns of torpor, arousal and activity in free-living Greater Horseshoe Bats, Rhinolophus
ferrumequinum (Schreber), were investigated during the hibernation period by using …

The greater horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, is a model species in echolocation
studies, and emits calls containing long constant-frequency (CF) components. The bats …

We investigated intraspecific differences in evening emergence time of northern bats Eptesicus
nilssonii, greater horseshoe bats Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and lesser horseshoe …

Understanding aging is a grand challenge in biology. Exceptionally long-lived animals have
mechanisms that underpin extreme longevity. Telomeres are protective nucleotide repeats …

< jats: title> Abstract < jats: p> We overview an autecological study of the endangered greater
horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum in south-west England. Bats from a woodland …

Following a dramatic decline last century, the British population of the endangered greater
horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum is highly fragmented. To examine the …

Female greater horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) exhibit strong natal philopatry
to their maternity roost over many years, leading to the aggregation of matrilineal kin. …

Female greater horseshoe bats form maternity colonies each summer in order to give birth
and raise young. During the mating period, females visit males occupying territorial sites, …
