Many aspects of animal behaviour are affected by real‐time changes in the risk of predation.
This conclusion holds for virtually all taxa and ecological systems studied, but does it hold …

Bats occupy a wide variety of roosts in both natural and manmade structures. More than half
of the approximately 1,100 species of living bats use plants exclusively or opportunistically …

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 …

Despite evidence of migration in North American tree bats (genera Lasiurus and
Lasionycteris), details regarding seasonal movements in these widely distributed species …

Many species of vertebrates require multiple habitats to obtain different resources at different
stages of their life-cycles. Use of habitat mosaics takes place on a variety of spatial and …

We hypothesized that interspecific differences in evening emergence time among
echolocating bats are subject to natural selection through effects of variation in food …

(1) The morphology, echolocation calls, foraging behaviour and prey distribution of two
temperate zone species of insectivorous bats was studied to assess the hypothesis that …

Stomach content analysis of 20 pregnant (x body mass= 13.4 g) and 18 lactating (x body
mass= 11.5 g) female Tadarida brasiliensis revealed that the diet, expressed as percent …

In this chapter we discuss the state of research on bat migration and compare some of these
patterns to those of birds. We begin with an overview of the literature on migration, apply …
