Spatial Distribution of Straw-Colored Fruit Bats () Roosts in Obafemi Awolowo University.

Bats are essential to ecosystem functioning, providing vital services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and insect control. With over 1400 species worldwide, they exhibit diverse roosting behaviors that are influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors. However, research on bat populations, particularly in urban environments, remains limited in Nigeria.

Climate change diminishes the potential habitat of the bont tick (Amblyomma hebraeum): evidence from Mashonaland Central Province, Zimbabwe.

Background: Understanding the response of vector habitats to climate change is essential for vector management. Increasingly, there is fear that climate change may cause vectors to be more important for animal husbandry in the future. Therefore, knowledge about the current and future spatial distribution of vectors, including ticks (Ixodida), is progressively becoming more critical to animal disease control.
