1.
Haba Y, Aardema M, Afonso M, Agramonte N, Albright J, Alho A, et al.
bioRxiv . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39975080
Understanding how life is adapting to urban environments represents an important challenge in evolutionary biology. Here we investigate a widely cited example of urban adaptation, form , also known as...

Morales A, Dong Y, Brown T, Baid K, Kontopoulos D, Gonzalez V, et al.
Nature . 2025 Jan; 638(8050):449-458. PMID: 39880942
Zoonoses are infectious diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Bats have been suggested to harbour more zoonotic viruses than any other mammalian order. Infections in bats are largely asymptomatic, indicating...

Zhelyazkova V, Fischer N, Puechmaille S
Biodivers Data J . 2024 Feb; 12:e109848. PMID: 38348182
White-nose disease (WND), caused by the psychrophilic fungus , represents one of the greatest threats for North American hibernating bats. Research on molecular data has significantly advanced our knowledge of...

Foley N, Harris A, Bredemeyer K, Ruedi M, Puechmaille S, Teeling E, et al.
Cell Genom . 2024 Jan; 4(2):100482. PMID: 38237599
The emergence of COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has prioritized understanding bats' viral tolerance. Myotis bats are exceptionally species rich and have evolved viral tolerance. They also exhibit...

Uvizl M, Puechmaille S, Power S, Pippel M, Carthy S, Haerty W, et al.
Mol Biol Evol . 2023 Dec; 41(1). PMID: 38124445
The escape of DNA from mitochondria into the nuclear genome (nuclear mitochondrial DNA, NUMT) is an ongoing process. Although pervasively observed in eukaryotic genomes, their evolutionary trajectories in a mammal-wide...

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...

Dejosez M, Marin A, Hughes G, Morales A, Godoy-Parejo C, Gray J, et al.
Cell . 2023 Feb; 186(5):957-974.e28. PMID: 36812912
Bats are distinctive among mammals due to their ability to fly, use laryngeal echolocation, and tolerate viruses. However, there are currently no reliable cellular models for studying bat biology or...

Niessen L, Fritze M, Wibbelt G, Puechmaille S
Mycopathologia . 2022 Aug; 187(5-6):547-565. PMID: 35931867
Pseudogymnoascus destructans (= Geomyces destructans) is a psychrophilic filamentous fungus that causes White-Nose Disease (WND; the disease associated with White-Nose Syndrome, WNS) in hibernating bats. The disease has caused considerable...

Verdasca M, Carvalheiro L, Aguirre Gutierrez J, Granadeiro J, Rome Q, Puechmaille S, et al.
PeerJ . 2022 May; 10:e13269. PMID: 35573178
Background: The accuracy of predictions of invasive species ranges is dependent on niche similarity between invasive and native populations and on our ability to identify the niche characteristics. With this...

Fischer N, Altewischer A, Ranpal S, Dool S, Kerth G, Puechmaille S
Mol Ecol . 2021 Oct; 31(2):675-690. PMID: 34704285
Emerging infectious diseases pose a major threat to human, animal, and plant health. The risk of species-extinctions increases when pathogens can survive in the absence of the host. Environmental reservoirs...
