Thermal windows on Brazilian free-tailed bats facilitate thermoregulation during prolonged flightJonathan D Reichard
Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA, 02215, USA
Integr Comp Biol 50:358-70. 2010..Thus, the radiator appears to be a unique trait that may facilitate energy balance and water balance during sustained dispersal, foraging, and long-distance migration...
Thermoregulation during flight: body temperature and sensible heat transfer in free-ranging Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis)Jonathan D Reichard
Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA
Physiol Biochem Zool 83:885-97. 2010..Regional hypothermia reduces heat loss from wings that are exposed to potentially high convective fluxes. Additional research is needed to establish the role of wings in evaporative cooling during flight in bats...
Free-ranging little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus) heal from wing damage associated with white-nose syndromeNathan W Fuller
Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Department of Biology, Boston University, 5 Cummington Str, Boston, MA, 02215, USA
Ecohealth 8:154-62. 2011..We urge researchers and wildlife managers to use caution when interpreting data on WDI to assess the impact of WNS on bat populations, especially during the later months of the active season...
Vascular contrast enhanced micro-CT imaging of "radiators" in the Brazilian free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis)Jonathan D Reichard
Department of Biology, Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 295:563-6. 2012..This study represents the first application of contrast enhanced micro-CT to visualize vasculature of bats and thus exhibits a promising technique for further investigations of cardiovascular function and anatomy in bats...

Department of Biology, Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 295:spc1. 2012..Thermal Infrared image of Brazilian free-tailed bats. See Figure 1A in Reichard et al., on page 564, in this issue...
Specific alterations in complement protein activity of little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus) hibernating in white-nose syndrome affected sitesMarianne S Moore
Department of Biology, Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America
