Mass extinctions, biodiversity and mitochondrial function: are bats ‘special’ as reservoirs for emerging viruses?
Open accessAbstract
Highlights ► This paper examines bat biology and evolution in the context of bats as virus hosts. ► Both scientific data and theoretical predications were discussed in the review. ► For the first time effect of the KT extinction on bats and virosphere was discussed. ► Bat mitochondria was identified to be a key focus for future research. ► Key obstacles in bat-virus research were discussed at the end of the paper.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
