Bat Biology and Ecology Studies
Description: This cluster of papers explores the ecology, behavior, physiology, and conservation of bats, with a focus on topics such as hibernation, echolocation, white-nose syndrome, metabolic rate, molecular phylogeny, and the impact of climate change. The papers also discuss the role of bats in ecosystems, their importance as bioindicators, and their potential as reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens.
