Social foraging in vampire bats is predicted by long-term cooperative relationships

S. P. Ripperger, G. G. Carter

The paper investigates whether long-term cooperative relationships in vampire bats influence foraging behavior, finding that nonrandom foraging encounters are linked to within-roost associations and cooperation histories.

Sickness behaviour reduces network centrality in wild vampire bats

S. P. Ripperger, S. Stockmaier, G. G. Carter

This study shows that sickness behaviour in vampire bats reduces their social connectedness in a dynamic network, affecting pathogen transmission dynamics.

Nocturnal scent in a 'bird-fig': a cue to attract bats as additional dispersers?

S. P. Ripperger, S. Rehse, S. Wacker, E. Kalko, S. Schulz, B. Rodriguez-Herrera, M. Ayasse

The study investigates how the bird-fig Ficus colubrinae attracts the bat Ectophylla alba at night despite its fruit traits typically appealing to birds, finding that scent is the main foraging cue for bats.
