This revised edition of a book first published in 2010 supplements the original account of the
116 bat species then known to be found in Southern and Central Africa with an additional …

Bats frequently use caves as roosts due to higher environmental stability and protection.
However, species-specific ecological and physiological requirements and conditions of …

We tested for a relationship between number of bat species and surface area of 20 caves in
central Mexico and investigated the role of the habitat diversity model as an explanation for …

Nous avons étudié la perchée et le choix des perchoirs chez des sérotines brunes
(Eptesicus fuscus) qui habitent dans des crevasses rocheuses le long de la rivière …

Physical characteristics of roost sites used by the lesser long-eared bat Nyctophilus geoffroyi
and Gould's wattled bat Chalinolobus gouldii were investigated in a farmland–remnant …

Background Evidence of haemosporidian infections in bats and bat flies has motivated a
growing interest in characterizing their transmission cycles. In Gabon (Central Africa), many …

The energy budgets of animal species are closely linked to their ecology, and balancing
energy expenditure with energy acquisition is key for survival. Changes in animals' …

The microsites that animals occupy during the rest phase of their circadian activity cycle
influence their physiology and behaviour, but relatively few studies have examined …

In February 2005 clear evidence was found of extensive hunting by local people of
microchiropteran bats in south-western Madagascar. Hipposideros commersoni (Family …

In this chapter, we compile ecological and behavioral data on tent-making bats to determine
if the variation in social behavior observed in this group may be explained by any of the …
