Information transfer at evening bat colonies
Four lines of evidence indicate that evening bats, Nycticeius humeralis, at nursery colonies in northern Missouri transfer information by following each other to feeding and roosting sites . (1) Daily estimates of insect density from five automated suction traps showed that common prey in evening bat faecal samples, small beetles and flies, occur in rich patches that persist for several days . ...
متن کاملLength and sequence variation in evening bat D-loop mtDNA.
Length variation in D-loop mitochondrial DNA was observed after amplification with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 28% of 195 evening bats, Nycticeius humeralis, from seven colonies. Nucleotide sequences of PCR products show that this heteroplasmy is characterized by an 81-bp region which is tandemly repeated five to eight times. Southern blots using PCR products as probes on HaeIII geno...
متن کاملAnimal Sociality: Bat Colonies Are Founded by Relatives
Most bat species breed communally, but how their colonies are founded is a mystery. A recent study suggests that the formation of a new colony starts with related females splitting off from an existing colony.
متن کاملInformation transfer at multiple scales.
In the study of complex systems a fundamental issue is the mapping of the networks of interaction between constituent subsystems of a complex system or between multiple complex systems. Such networks define the web of dependencies and patterns of continuous and dynamic coupling between the system's elements characterized by directed flow of information spanning multiple spatial and temporal sca...
