Pregnancy affects flight behavior in big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus)

This study examines how pregnancy affects flight behavior in big brown bats, finding significant changes in flight parameters during pregnancy compared to non-pregnancy periods.

Tail length in male versus female fox squirrels (Sciurus niger)

The paper tests if female fox squirrels have longer tails than males to compensate for reproductive mass shifts, finding no significant sex effect after controlling for body length.

BatCount: A software program to count moving animals

BatCount is a software program that automatically counts bats in flight, offering an efficient and reliable tool for population monitoring with potential for broader application to other moving organisms.

Steering clear of the confusion effect: aerial predators target fixed points in dense prey aggregations

The paper shows that aerial predators target fixed points in dense prey aggregations rather than individual prey, simplifying their sensory demands and increasing the likelihood of confusion effects in sparse groups.
