Field research on echolocation behavior in bats has emphasized studies of food acquisition,
and the adaptive value of sonar signal design as been considered largely in the context of …

Comparisons of original calls and their echoes allow echolocating microchiropteran bats to
collect information about their surroundings. Echolocation calls are also a source of …

Many established models of animal foraging assume that individuals are ecologically
equivalent. However, it is increasingly recognized that populations may comprise individuals …

Bats are among the most diverse and most gregarious of all mammals. This makes them
highly interesting for research on the causes and consequences of sociality in animals …

We used radiotelemetry to quantify roost switching and assess associations between
members of maternity colonies of forest-dwelling big brown bats. Bats remained loyal to …

Nest or roost temperature (T roost) is thought to impact reproductive fitness in many
endotherms but few studies have directly tested the hypothesis that naturally occurring …

Bats spend more time roosting than in any other activity. Thus, it is not surprising that some
researchers have argued that roost availability influences the diversity of bat communities …

Over the past 2 decades, we have begun to accumulate a basic understanding of the
roosting and foraging ecology of temperate insectivorous bats in forests. As our …

It is generally recognized that roads can adversely affect local animal populations but little is
known how roads affect bats. In particular, no study compared the response of bats that differ …

Information transfer among group members is believed to play an important part in the
evolution of coloniality in both birds and bats. Although information transfer has received …
