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.

Spatial learning overshadows learning novel odors and sounds in both a predatory and a frugivorous bat

This study compares spatial and feature cue learning in predatory and frugivorous bats, finding both species prioritize spatial cues over odors or sounds.

Long-term memory in frog-eating bats

The study tests long-term memory retention in wild-caught frog-eating bats by re-capturing them after 1-4 years and re-testing their response to novel acoustic cues.

Immune-challenged vampire bats produce fewer contact calls

This study shows that immune-challenged vampire bats produce fewer contact calls when isolated, potentially reducing social interactions.

Evidence for unfamiliar kin recognition in vampire bats

The paper demonstrates unfamiliar kin recognition in vampire bats through social association preferences and genetic analysis.

Thinking small: next-generation sensor networks close the size gap in vertebrate biologging

This paper develops a wireless biologging network for tracking small vertebrates with high resolution and low tag weight, demonstrating its application in studying wild bats.
