Hematological data and hemoglobin components in bats (Vespertilionidae).
TLDR
Basic hematological values in 59 animals of five species of insectivorous bats were estimated and electrophoretic separation of the hemoglobins of Plecotus austriacus, Myotis nattereri and MyOTis myotis showed two components, whereas in Miniopterus schreibersi and Pipistrelus pipistrellus appeared three and four components, respectively.About:

Diurnal and seasonal changes in blood composition of the free-living Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus)
C. Korine,O. Zinder,Zeev Arad +2 more
TL;DR: Results of the present study suggest that during winter and early spring bats are characterized by a poor physical and physiological state as reflected in the blood profile, revealing elevated urea and uric acid concentrations.

Effect of water restriction on energy and water balance and osmoregulation of the fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus
Zeev Arad,C. Korine +1 more
TL;DR: The effective regulation of energy and water budgets during water restriction suggests that the fruit bat can cope with seasonal climatic changes and with variable fruit supply during various seasons.

Cold-hearted bats: uncoupling of heart rate and metabolism during torpor at sub-zero temperatures.
TL;DR: It is shown that the relationship between oxygen transport and cardiac function is substantially altered in thermoregulating torpidbats between 1 and −2°C, compared with thermoconforming torpid bats at mild ambient temperatures.

Evolutionary Alternatives in the Physiological Ecology of Bats
TL;DR: Intensive work in the tropics has shown the great ecological diversity existing among bats, which permits us to place temperate species in their appropriate ecological and evolutionary perspective and to examine some of the physiological and ecological alternatives available to bats when living in a physically benign environment.

TL;DR: SDS gel electrophoresis showed the fish hemoglobin chains to have molecular weights comparable to those of human Hb A, which is as complex as those reported from temperate zone fishes.
