Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2022 Background Fruit bats play an important role in pollination and seed dispersal, and their conservation is important to maintain the productivity of some crops and natural ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes,

Absent or low rate of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus of bats (Chiroptera) [PDF]
, 2007 Bats are the only flying mammals and have well developed navigation abilities for 3D-space. Even bats with comparatively small home ranges cover much larger territories than rodents, and long-distance migration by some species is unique among small ...

Perceptual strategies in active and passive hearing of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2008 Basic spectral and temporal sound properties, such as frequency content and timing, are evaluated by the auditory system to build an internal representation of the external world and to generate auditory guided behaviour. Using echolocating bats as model

The distribution of bat species across the underground sites of Georgia [PDF]
Subterranean BiologyIn Georgia, investigations of bat species using caves have been conducted since the beginning of the 20th century. However, robust knowledge is still largely unavailable, as only about 15% of the roughly 2,000 underground sites have been surveyed for ...

The relationship between niche breadth and geographic range size in African Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophidae, Chiroptera) [PDF]
, 2011 According to Brown's hypothesis, generalists have high niche breadth and can tolerate a wide variety of environmental conditions resulting in large geographic range sizes. Conversely, specialists have low niche breadth and small range sizes.
