Personality Variation in Little Brown Bats
Animal personality or temperament refers to individual differences in behaviour that are repeatable over time and across contexts. Personality has been linked to life-history traits, energetic traits and fitness, with implications for the evolution of behaviour. Personality has been quantified for a range of taxa (e.g., fish, songbirds, small mammals) but, so far, there has been little work on ...
متن کاملClassification of communication signals of the little brown bat.
Little brown bats, Myotis lucifugus, are known for their ability to echolocate and utilize their echolocation system to navigate, and locate and identify prey. Their echolocation signals have been characterized in detail but their communication signals are less well understood despite their widespread use during social interactions. The goal of this study was to develop an automatic classificat...
متن کاملHibernation energetics of free-ranging little brown bats.
Hibernation physiology and energy expenditure have been relatively well studied in large captive hibernators, especially rodents, but data from smaller, free-ranging hibernators are sparse. We examined variation in the hibernation patterns of free-ranging little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) using temperature-sensitive radio-transmitters. First, we aimed to test the hypothesis that age, sex and...
متن کاملTemperature and Humidity-Induced Shifts in the Flight Activity of Little Brown Bats
The importance of ambient environmental conditions to flight activity in little brown bats, Myotis lucifugus, has received attention, but the influence of relative humidity has been largely ignored. Through the use of mist net captures, activity of male and female M. lucifugus were examined in relation to temperature and relative humidity. Activity of males was significantly greater under condi...
متن کاملSex and hibernaculum temperature predict survivorship in white-nose syndrome affected little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus)
White-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging infectious disease caused by the novel fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has devastated North American bat populations since its discovery in 2006. The little brown myotis, Myotis lucifugus, has been especially affected. The goal of this 2-year captive study was to determine the impact of hibernacula temperature and sex on WNS survivorship in little bro...
