Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Markotter, Wanda; Keith, Mark (BioMed Central, 2021-11-20)BACKGROUND : Modification and destruction of natural habitats are bringing previously unencountered animal populations into contact with humans, with bats considered important zoonotic transmission vectors. Caves ...

Kearney, T.C.; Keith, Mark; Markotter, Wanda; Pretorius, M.; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest) (Transvaal Museum, 2019-03)Mist nets, harp traps and roost searches resulted in the eight bat species being recorded in Telperion Nature Reserve, which is in a transition between the Savanna and Grassland biomes. The majority of these were species ...

Taylor, Peter John; Strydom, Erika; Richards, Leigh; Markotter, Wanda; Toussaint, Dawn Cory; Kearney, Teresa; Cotterill, F.P.D. (Woody); Howard, Alexandra; Weier, Sina Monika; Keith, Mark; Neef, Gotz; Mamba, Mnqobi L.; Magagula, Siphesihle; Monadjem, Ara (Oxford University Press, 2022-12)Ten years ago, the genus-level and species-level taxonomy of African pipistrelloid bats was in a state of flux. In spite of advances in the past decade, gaps in collecting from species-rich regions like Angola have hampered ...

Geldenhuys, Marike; Mortlock, Marinda; Weyer, Jacqueline; Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest); Kearney, Teresa; Gleasner, Cheryl; Erkkila, Tracy H.; Cui, Helen; Markotter, Wanda (Public Library of Science, 2018-03-26)Species within the Neoromicia bat genus are abundant and widely distributed in Africa. It is common for these insectivorous bats to roost in anthropogenic structures in urban regions. Additionally, Neoromicia capensis ...

Pretorius, Mariette Estelle; Markotter, Wanda; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, Ernest; Broders, Hugh; Keith, Mark (Institute of Vertebrate Biology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, 2021-02-24)Migration and hibernation are survival strategies that require physiological preparation using fattening. Bats employ both strategies in times of resource shortages. However, because males and females vary seasonally in ...

Monadjem, Ara; Richards, Leigh R.; Decher, Jan; Hutterer, Rainer; Mamba, Mnqobi L.; Guyton, Jen; Naskrecki, Piotr; Markotter, Wanda; Wipfler, Benjamin; Kropff, Anna S.; Dalton, Desire L. (Oxford University Press, 2021-02)Pipistrelloid bats are among the most poorly known bats in Africa, a status no doubt exacerbated by their small size, drab brown fur and general similarity in external morphology. The systematic relationships of these bats ...

McMahon, William Charles; Coertse, Jessica; Kearney, Teresa; Keith, Mark; Swanepoel, Lourens H.; Markotter, Wanda (AOSIS, 2021-08)The reservoir host of Mokola virus (MOKV), a rabies-related lyssavirus species endemic to Africa, remains unknown. Only sporadic cases of MOKV have been reported since its first discovery in the late 1960s, which ...

Dietrich, Muriel; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest); Paweska, Janusz Tadeusz; Markotter, Wanda (Royal Society Publishing, 2018)Seasonal reproduction is a period of extreme physiological and behavioural changes, yet we know little about how it may affect host microbial communities (i.e. microbiota) and pathogen transmission. Here, we investigated ...
