Data from: Strategic predatory pursuit of the stealthy, highly maneuverable, slow flying bat Corynorhinus townsendii
<p class="MsoNormal">A predator's capacity to catch prey depends on its ability to navigate its environment in response to prey movements or escape behavior. In predator-prey interactions that involve an active chase, pursuit behavior can be studied as the collection of rules that dictate how a predator should steer to capture prey. It remains unclear how variable this behavior is within and across species since most studies have detailed the pursuit behavior of high-speed, open-area foragers. In this study, we analyze the pursuit behavior in 44 successful captures by <em>Corynorhinus townsendii</em>, Townsend's big-eared bat (<em>n</em> = 4). This species forages close to vegetation using slow and highly maneuverable flight, which contrasts with the locomotor capabilities and feeding ecologies of other taxa studied to date. Our results indicate that this species relies on an initial stealthy approach, which is generally sufficient to capture prey (32 out of 44 trials). In cases where the initial approach is not sufficient to perform a capture attempt (12 out of 44 trials), <em>C. townsendii</em> continues its pursuit by reacting to prey movements in a manner best modeled with a combination of pure pursuit, or following prey directly, and proportional navigation, or moving to an interception point.</p>

Parasitization of bats by bat flies (Streblidae) in fragmented habitats
Parasites represent a large fraction of the world's biodiversity. They control host population sizes and contribute to ecosystem functioning. However, surveys on species diversity rarely include parasitic species. Bats often present traits favoring parasite diversity, such as large home ranges, long life spans, and large colonies. The most conspicuous bat parasites are the highly host specific, blood-sucking bat flies (Diptera: Streblidae, Nycteribiidae). Recent studies have found a direct effect of habitat alteration on the abundance of bat species. We expected, therefore, that changes in the host community in response to anthropogenic habitat modification will also result in changes in the associated parasite community. We captured bats in three different habitats in Central Panama between 2013 and 2015. We recorded information on prevalence and intensity of bat fly parasitization of the seven most commonly captured bat species. Prevalence and intensity were both significantly influenced by roost type, abundance, and host sex and age. We found that habitat variables and matrix type significantly influenced the prevalence and intensity of parasitization, while the direction of the responses were host species- and parasite species-specific. In general, roosting conditions and behavior of host bats appear to be fundamental in explaining changes in prevalence and intensity of parasitization between different habitat types, as bat flies are bound to the roost during their reproductive cycle. Habitat alterations affects next to the host community composition also the availability of possible roost structures as well as microclimatic conditions, which all three reflect in parasitization.

Data from: Nathusius' bats optimize long-distance migration by flying at maximum range speed.
Metabolic rate of 12 Pipistrellus nathusii in relation to varying airspeed. We measured the metabolic rate of flying bats in a wind tunnel using the 13C labeled Na-bicarbonate method. The relationship between metabolic rate and airspeed was U-shaped in the majority of individuals. We could not find a U-shaped curve in a few individuals that engaged in flight manoeuvers, including landing. We used the shape of the U-shaped power curve to estimate minimum flight speed and maximum range speed for the study species. Further we present data on migration speed (n=37) and foraging flight speed (n=40) in wild Pipistrellus nathusii at a major miratory corridor in Latvia.
Data from: Origin, acquisition and diversification of heritable bacterial endosymbionts in louse flies and bat flies
The γ-proteobacterium Arsenophonus and its close relatives (Arsenophonus and like organisms, ALOs) are emerging as a novel clade of endosymbionts, which are exceptionally widespread in insects. The biology of ALOs is, however, in most cases entirely unknown, and it is unclear how these endosymbionts spread across insect populations. Here, we investigate this aspect through the examination of the presence, the diversity and the evolutionary history of ALOs in 25 related species of blood-feeding flies: tsetse flies (Glossinidae), louse flies (Hippoboscidae) and bat flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae). While these endosymbionts were not found in tsetse flies, we identify louse flies and bat flies as harbouring the highest diversity of ALO strains reported to date, including a novel ALO clade, as well as Arsenophonus and the recently described Candidatus Aschnera chinzeii clade. We further show that the origin of ALO endosymbiosies extends deep into the evolutionary past of louse flies and bat flies, and that it likely played a major role in the ecological specialization of their hosts. The evolutionary history of ALOs is notably complex and was shaped by both vertical transmission and horizontal transfers with frequent host turnover and apparent symbiont replacement in host lineages. In particular, ALOs have evolved repeatedly and independently close relationships with diverse groups of louse flies and bat flies, as well as phylogenetically more distant insect families, suggesting that ALO endosymbioses are exceptionally dynamic systems.
