Many species exhibit fission–fusion dynamics, yet the factors that influence the frequent
changes in group size and membership in these species have not been widely studied …

The fragmentation of forests by the expansion of agriculture is recognized as an important
factor influencing worldwide declines of forest-dependent species. Species that are forest …

Social structure, which is a function of the patterns of interactions among individuals, is
particularly variable in fission–fusion societies. The underlying factors that drive this …

The decline in northern myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) populations due to the disease white-
nose syndrome (WNS) has led to the species receiving federal protection in the United …

Fission–fusion dynamics appear common among temperate bats where females form roost
groups that change in size and composition, as females switch roosts almost daily. One …

In this work, the aim was to enhance the performance of activated carbon (AC) as an
electroadsorbent by incorporating NiO particles, thereby increasing its electrochemical …

Group formation is beneficial for many small endotherms, in part to create favourable
conditions for developing offspring. However, for individuals occupying spatially limited …

Social dynamics are an important but poorly understood aspect of bat ecology. Herein we
use a combination of graph theoretic and spatial approaches to describe the roost and …

Maternity groups of many bat species conform to fission–fusion models and movements
among diurnal roost trees and individual bats belonging to these groups use networks of …

Bats are hosts to a range of pathogens, which include zoonotic pathogens and pathogens of
conservation concern. Brock Fenton's research on bat ecology has always balanced clear …
