The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the Asian particolored bat, Vespertilio sinensis, was determined. The genome organization, gene contents, and codon usage conformed to those of other bat mitochondrial genomes. The total length of the mitogenome of Vespertilio sinensis is 16,971 bp with a total base composition of 32.6% A, 29.6% T, 23.7% C and 14.0% G. The mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA (12S and 16S RNA) genes, 22 tRNA genes and 1 control region.

Orofacial morphology in mammals plays a critical role in essential life functions such as feeding and communication, which are influenced by the shapes of these anatomical structures. Bats are known to exhibit highly diversified orofacial morphotypes within their clade, reflecting their varied diets and echolocation behaviors. The presence of bony discontinuities between the premaxilla and maxilla or among the premaxillae is a notable feature of bat orofacial morphology, observed in certain lineages.

Article Synopsis
- Circadian rhythms are patterns of biological activity that occur in a 24-hour cycle and are found across many organisms, sparking interest in the field of chronobiology.
- The study used untargeted brain metabolomics to analyze the daily rhythms of metabolites in bats, identifying 154 metabolites that exhibit rhythmic patterns associated with various physiological states.
- Key metabolic processes, such as the pentose phosphate pathway and oxidative phosphorylation, were found to influence these rhythms, particularly in relation to the bats' hunting and flying behaviors, marking significant insights into the metabolic dynamics of nocturnal mammals.

The study of vocal communication in non-human animals can uncover the roots of human languages. Recent studies of language have focused on two linguistic laws: Zipf's law and the Menzerath-Altmann law. However, whether bats' social vocalizations follow these linguistic laws, especially Menzerath's law, has largely been unexplored.

Artificial light at night has been considered an emerging threat to global biodiversity. However, the impacts of artificial light on foraging behavior in most wild animals remain largely unclear. Here, we aimed to assess whether artificial light affects foraging behavior in Asian parti-colored bats (Vespertilio sinensis).

Throughout East Asia, Europe, and North America, mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV), for which bats have been proposed to be natural reservoirs, has been detected in a variety of domestic and wild mammals, as well as in humans. Here, we isolated a novel MRV strain (designated as Kj22-33) from a fecal sample from Vespertilio sinensis bats in Japan. Strain Kj22-33 has a 10-segmented genome with a total length of 23,580 base pairs.
