  • Attenuated evolution of mammals through the Cenozoic 
    Goswami, Anjali; Noirault, Eve; Coombs, Ellen J.; Clavel, Julien; Fabre, Anne-Claire; Halliday, Thomas J. D.; Churchill, Morgan; Curtis, Abigail; Watanabe, Akinobu; Simmons, Nancy B.; Beatty, Brian L.; Geisler, Jonathan H.; Fox, David L.; Felice, Ryan N. (2022)
    The Cenozoic diversification of placental mammals is the archetypal adaptive radiation. Yet, discrepancies between molecular divergence estimates and the fossil record fuel ongoing debate around the timing, tempo, and ...
  • Developmental origin underlies evolutionary rate variation across the placental skull 
    Goswami, Anjali; Noirault, Eve; Coombs, Ellen J.; Clavel, Julien; Fabre, Anne-Claire; Halliday, Thomas J. D.; Churchill, Morgan; Curtis, Abigail; Watanabe, Akinobu; Simmons, Nancy B.; Beatty, Brian L.; Geisler, Jonathan H.; Fox, David L.; Felice, Ryan N. (2023)
    The placental skull has evolved into myriad forms, from longirostrine whales to globular primates, and with a diverse array of appendages from antlers to tusks. This disparity has recently been studied from the perspective ...
  • Disentangling interactions among mercury, immunity and infection in a Neotropical bat community 
    Becker, Daniel J.; Speer, Kelly A.; Korstian, Jennifer M.; Volokhov, Dmitriy V.; Droke, Hannah F.; Brown, Alexis M.; Baijnauth, Catherene L.; Padgett-Stewart, Ticha; Broders, Hugh G.; Plowright, Raina K.; Rainwater, Thomas R.; Fenton, M. Brock; Simmons, Nancy B.; Chumchal, Matthew M. (2021)
    Contaminants such as mercury are pervasive and can have immunosuppressive effects on wildlife. Impaired immunity could be important for forecasting pathogen spillover, as many land-use changes that generate mercury ...
  • Each flying fox on its own branch: a phylogenetic tree for <I>Pteropus</I> and related genera (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) 
    Almeida, Francisca C.; Giannini, Norberto P.; Simmons, Nancy B.; Helgen, Kristofer M. (2014)
    Pteropodidae is a diverse Old Word family of non-echolocating, frugivorous and nectarivorous bats that includes the flying foxes (genus Pteropus) and allied genera. The subfamily Pteropodinae includes the largest living ...
  • Ecological and evolutionary drivers of haemoplasma infection and bacterial genotype sharing in a Neotropical bat community 
    Becker, Daniel J.; Speer, Kelly A.; Brown, Alexis M.; Fenton, M. Brock; Washburne, Alex D.; Altizer, Sonia; Streicker, Daniel G.; Plowright, Raina K.; Chizhikov, Vladimir E.; Simmons, Nancy B.; Volokhov, Dmitriy V. (2020)
    Most emerging pathogens can infect multiple species, underscoring the importance of understanding the ecological and evolutionary factors that allow some hosts to harbor greater infection prevalence and share pathogens ...
  • Expanded diversity of novel hemoplasmas in rare and undersampled Neotropical bats 
    Volokhov, Dmitriy V.; Lock, Lauren R.; Dyer, Kristin E.; DeAnglis, Isabella K.; Andrews, Benjamin R.; Simonis, Molly C.; Stockmaier, Sebastian; Carter, Gerald G.; Downs, Cynthia J.; Fenton, M. Brock; Simmons, Nancy B.; Becker, Daniel J. (2023)
    Hemotropic mycoplasmas are emerging as a model system for studying bacterial pathogens in bats, but taxonomic coverage of sampled host species remains biased. We leveraged a long-term field study in Belize to uncover novel ...
  • Interrogating Phylogenetic Discordance Resolves Deep Splits in the Rapid Radiation of Old World Fruit Bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) 
    Nesi, Nicolas; Tsagkogeorga, Georgia; Tsang, Susan M.; Nicolas, Violaine; Lalis, Aude; Scanlon, Annette T.; Riesle-Sbarbaro, Silke A.; Wiantoro, Sigit; Hitch, Alan T.; Juste, Javier; Pinzari, Corinna A.; Bonaccorso, Frank J.; Todd, Christopher M.; Lim, Burton K.; Simmons, Nancy B.; McGowen, Michael R.; Rossiter, Stephen J. (2021)
    The family Pteropodidae (Old World fruit bats) comprises &gt;200 species distributed across the Old World tropics and subtropics. Most pteropodids feed on fruit, suggesting an early origin of frugivory, although several ...
  • Molecular diet analysis of neotropical bats based on fecal DNA metabarcoding 
    Ingala, Melissa R.; Simmons, Nancy B.; Wultsch, Claudia; Krampis, Konstantinos; Provost, Kaiya L.; Perkins, Susan L. (2021)
    Bat communities in the Neotropics are some of the most speciose assemblages of mammals on Earth, with regions supporting more than 100 sympatric species with diverse feeding ecologies. Because bats are small, nocturnal, ...
  • Specimen collection is essential for modern science
