The roosting spatial network of a bird-predator bat.
The use of roosting sites by animal societies is important in conservation biology, animal behavior, and epidemiology. The giant noctule bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus) constitutes fission-fusion societies whose members spread every day in multiple trees for shelter. To assess how the pattern of roosting use determines the potential for information exchange or disease spreading, we applied the frame...
متن کاملBats and Bell Holes: The Microclimatic Impact of Bat Roosting, Using a Case Study from Runaway Bay Caves, Jamaica
Bats and bell holes: The microclimatic impact of bat roosting, using a case study from Runaway a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o The microclimatic effect of bats roosting in bell holes (blind vertical cylindrical cavities in cave roofs) in Runaway Bay Caves, Jamaica, was measured and the potential impact of their metabolism on dissolution modelled. Rock temperature measurements showed that ...
متن کاملNatural use of heterothermy by a small, tree-roosting bat during summer.
Little is known about the use of heterothermy by wild bats during summer, especially for tree-roosting species. Because thermal conditions within tree roosts can fluctuate widely with ambient temperature, which affects thermoregulatory energy expenditure during diurnal roosting, we measured skin temperatures of free-ranging male Nyctophilus geoffroyi (8 g) to quantify the relation between summe...
متن کاملRoosting patterns in a captive colony of short-nosed fruit bat Cynopterus sphinx (Vahl).
Development of roosting patterns under a limited resource was studied in the short-nosed fruit bat C. sphinx in captivity. Spatial fidelity during the resting period (day time) and the individual male bat's presence/absence in the roost (occupancy index) were estimated during the active period (night time). Results show the presence of three groups on the basis of spatial fidelity. The first gr...
متن کاملSocial calls used by a leaf-roosting bat to signal location.
Social calls in bats have many functions, including mate attraction and maintaining contact during flight. Research suggests that social calls may also be used to transfer information about roosts, but no studies have yet demonstrated that calls are used to actively attract conspecifics to roosting locations. We document the social calls used by Spix's disc-winged bat (Thyroptera tricolor) to a...
