Adult Vampire Bats Produce Contact Calls When Isolated: Acoustic Variation by Species, Population, Colony, and Individual
BACKGROUND Bat pups produce individually distinct isolation calls to facilitate maternal recognition. Increasing evidence suggests that, in group-living bat species, adults often use similar calls to maintain contact. We investigated if isolated adults from all three species of the highly cooperative vampire bats (Phyllostomidae: Desmodontinae) would produce vocally distinct contact calls when ...
متن کاملCommon vampire bat contact calls attract past food-sharing partners
Animals living with kin and nonkin should make social decisions based on the consequences for both direct and indirect fitness. Common vampire bats, Desmodus rotundus, invest in stable cooperative relationships that benefit both components of inclusive fitness. To disentangle these two factors, we conducted two types of playback trials using a captive group of familiar common vampire bats with ...
متن کاملSocial Grooming in Bats: Are Vampire Bats Exceptional?
Evidence for long-term cooperative relationships comes from several social birds and mammals. Vampire bats demonstrate cooperative social bonds, and like primates, they maintain these bonds through social grooming. It is unclear, however, to what extent vampires are special among bats in this regard. We compared social grooming rates of common vampire bats Desmodus rotundus and four other group...
متن کاملMore house calls by fewer physicians.
Before World War II 40% of patient visits were conducted in the home. Since then the number of house calls by physicians had been decreasing until 1998 when payment restructuring improved reimbursement. As the article by Peterson et al points out, the number of patients receiving house calls has increased in recent years, yet the number of physicians making house calls has decreased. This may b...
متن کاملRoost Size for Multilevel Selection of Altruism Among Vampire Bats
Abstract. In this paper we analyse the roosting effect among artificial vampires as a way to preserve altruism from cheaters exploitation. We simulate the formation and maintenance of new social structures (roosts) from initial populations as a consequence of both demographic growth and social organisation. Food-sharing among vampire bats (Desmodus Rotundus) is a well-known form of altruism, ne...
