Echolocating bats are surveyed and studied acoustically with bat detectors routinely and
worldwide, yet identification of species from calls often remains ambiguous or impossible …

The social calls of bats are an area about which relatively little is known, with more research

Abstract “Lunar phobia” in bats has been widely discussed since its description in tropical
bats in 1978. The phenomenon has been frequently contested and supported and was first …

Bat abundance, diversity, and behavior can be monitored by capturing bats for identification
and measurement in the hand, but this has several disadvantages. These include …

Characterizing movement dynamics and spatial aspects of gene flow within a species
permits inference on population structuring. As patterns of structuring are products of …

Bats display marked seasonality throughout the temperate zone and use different habitats
during different parts of the year. Unfortunately, detailed information regarding seasonal …

In many temperate zone bat species, large numbers of individuals aggregate in autumn at
potential hibernacula such as caves, mines, and cellars, for a behaviour known as …
