Like dispersal and migration, short-term movement between roosts or dens is potentially
costly. If such behavior is adaptive, these costs should be balanced by benefits associated …

Radiotelemetry and satellite‐based telemetry approaches are essential to describe the
behaviour and biology of animals. This is especially true for bats, whose small size and …

Retaining the introductory flavor of the now classic First Edition, this revision includes all the
latest techniques in the field. New information on methods of radio tag harnessing, new …

Researchers often attach transmitters and other devices to free‐living birds without a clear
understanding of potential deleterious consequences to their study organisms, and thus to …

Avian fat storage is associated with both benefits and costs. Although the benefits of
maintaining higher energetic reserves have long been considered, the associated costs …

The last 'hibernation book'was published in 1982, nearly 40 years ago, so clearly an update
was needed. The options were a book written by a single author or an edited book written by …

The conservation implications of some recent advances in our knowledge about the ecology
and behavior of bats are presented. A central question facing bat biologists is the relative …

Publisher Summary The timing and frequency of reproduction are major determinants of life-
history strategies, which have evolved to maximize lifetime reproductive output, and thus to …

Our purpose is to provide researchers, consultants, decision‐makers, and other
stakeholders with guidance to methods and metrics for investigating nocturnally active birds …

Social foraging is a very common yet extremely complex behavior [1]. Numerous studies
attempted to model it [2–7] with little supporting evidence. Studying it in the wild is difficult …
