Melville D, Meyer M, Kummerle C, Alvarado-Barrantes K, Wilhelm K, Sommer S, et al.
FEMS Microbiol Ecol . 2025 Jan; 101(2). PMID: 39844346
Diurnal rhythms of the gut microbiota are emerging as an important yet often overlooked facet of microbial ecology. Feeding is thought to stimulate gut microbial rhythmicity, but this has not...

Bechler J, Steiner K, Tschapka M
PLoS One . 2024 Jun; 19(6):e0303227. PMID: 38924018
Animals should maximize their energy uptake while reducing the costs for foraging. For flower-visitors these costs and benefits are rather straight forward as the energy uptake equals the caloric content...
3.
Meyer M, Melville D, Baldwin H, Wilhelm K, Nkrumah E, Badu E, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Apr; 15(1):2887. PMID: 38575573
Anthropogenic disturbances and the subsequent loss of biodiversity are altering species abundances and communities. Since species vary in their pathogen competence, spatio-temporal changes in host assemblages may lead to changes...

Thiel S, Gottstein M, Heymann E, Kroszewski J, Lieker N, Tello N, et al.
Am J Bot . 2024 Mar; 111(3):e16303. PMID: 38531667
Premise: Vertical stratification is a key feature of tropical forests and plant-frugivore interactions. However, it is unclear whether equally strong patterns of vertical stratification exist for plant-nectarivore interactions and, if...

Weber N, Nagy M, Markotter W, Schaer J, Puechmaille S, Sutton J, et al.
Biol Lett . 2023 Nov; 19(11):20230358. PMID: 37964576
Africa experiences frequent emerging disease outbreaks among humans, with bats often proposed as zoonotic pathogen hosts. We comprehensively reviewed virus-bat findings from papers published between 1978 and 2020 to evaluate...

Rose A, Tschapka M, Knornschild M
Anim Cogn . 2023 Jul; 26(5):1635-1642. PMID: 37421496
Incorporating novel food sources into their diet is crucial for animals in changing environments. Although the utilization of novel food sources can be learned individually, learning socially from experienced conspecifics...

Schmid D, Meyer M, Wilhelm K, Tilley T, Link-Hessing T, Fleischer R, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2023 May; 32(14):3989-4002. PMID: 37203872
Understanding the immunogenetic basis of coronavirus (CoV) susceptibility in major pathogen reservoirs, such as bats, is central to inferring their zoonotic potential. Members of the cryptic Hipposideros bat species complex...

Simon R, Matt F, Santillan V, Tschapka M, Tuttle M, Halfwerk W
J Exp Biol . 2023 Feb; 226(5). PMID: 36806421
Flowering plants have evolved an extraordinary variety of signalling traits to attract their pollinators. Most flowers rely on visual and chemical signals, but some bat-pollinated plants have evolved passive acoustic...

Domingos-Melo A, Cocucci A, Tschapka M, Machado I
Ann Bot . 2022 Dec; 131(2):361-372. PMID: 36579432
Background And Aims: Nectar standing crop has a fundamental role in controlling pollinator movements between flowers and individuals within a population. In bat pollination systems, plants take advantage of the...

Le Provost G, Schenk N, Penone C, Thiele J, Westphal C, Allan E, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol . 2022 Nov; 7(2):236-249. PMID: 36376602
The impact of local biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning is well established, but the role of larger-scale biodiversity dynamics in the delivery of ecosystem services remains poorly understood. Here we...
