Passive acoustic sensing has emerged as a powerful tool for quantifying anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity, especially for echolocating bat species. To better assess bat population trends there is a critical need for accurate, reliable, and open source tools that allow the detection and classification of bat calls in large collections of audio recordings. The majority of existing tools are commercial or have focused on the species classification task, neglecting the important problem of first localizing echolocation calls in audio which is particularly problematic in noisy recordings.

- Circular replication-associated protein encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS DNA) viruses, including known veterinary pathogens and novel viruses, are becoming more prevalent in various global samples.
- Researchers tested guano from bats in several European countries, discovering six new members of the Circoviridae family and two from the Genomoviridae family, along with a gemini-like virus previously found in Nigeria.
- The study offers the first dataset on CRESS DNA viruses in European bats, revealing significant genetic diversity and potential host origins for these viruses.
