Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how enhanced UV radiation affects plant responses to drought in grass and forb species in a mountain ecosystem.
- Both UV exposure and reduced water availability increased the plants' epidermal UV-screening capabilities, but they didn't work together as expected.
- While UV radiation improved UV protection more in grass species compared to forbs, it did not significantly alleviate the negative impacts of drought on the plants' growth and gas exchange.
Co-existence of bats with a wide range of infectious agents relates to their co-evolutionary history and specific physiology. Here, we examined blood samples collected during hibernation and the post-hibernation period to assess the influence of trypanosomes and babesias on the health status of 50 Noctule bats () using nested PCR. The impact of blood parasites on health was assessed by analysis of haematology and blood chemistry parameters in 21 bats.
