Food-associated calls in disc-winged bats

This study identifies food-associated vocalizations in Spix's disc-winged bats that recruit conspecifics and increase feeding behaviors.

Variation in echolocation call emission of Neotropical insect-eating bats in response to shifting ambient temperatures

This study examines how Neotropical insect-eating bats adjust their echolocation calls in response to temperature changes, finding variable adjustments in call parameters but not peak frequency.

Effects of habitat and fruit scent on the interactions between short-tailed fruit bats and Piper plants

The paper examines how habitat and fruit scent influence interactions between Carollia bats and Piper plants across forested and gap habitats.

ohun: an R package for diagnosing and optimizing automatic sound event detection

ohun is an R package that diagnoses and optimizes automatic sound event detection by evaluating performance with reference annotations and providing energy- and template-based detection methods.

Consistent individual positions within roosts in Spix's disc-winged bats

The paper examines roost position consistency in Spix's disc-winged bats, finding that sex and age correlate with specific positions despite daily roost-switching.

Landing manoeuvres predict roost-site preferences in bats

This study shows that disc-winged bats prefer leaves with longer apices, which are used for landing, reducing injury risk and improving task performance.

Comparing the efficiency of monofilament and traditional nets for capturing bats

This study compares monofilament and traditional mist nets for bat capture efficiency, finding higher capture rates and species diversity with monofilament nets, especially for insectivorous species.

The energetics of social signaling during roost location in Spix's disc-winged bats

This study measures the energetic cost of social call production in Spix's disc-winged bats and finds that vocalizing increases oxygen consumption, with differences observed between males and females.

A missing link in mutualistic networks: symbiotic fungi in plant-animal interactions

The paper investigates how bat digestion affects fungal communities in plant seeds, finding that it reduces harmful fungi and increases beneficial ones.
