The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Behavioural flexibility: the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, and the northern long-eared bat,M. septentrionalis , both glean and hawk prey (2003, unknown): “Other than still water, which demands different mechanical and perceptual solutions than substrate gleaning (Siemers et al. 2001b), we have difficulty conceiving of many simple surfaces occurring in nature.”
Effects of tropical forest fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in a land-bridge island system. (2010, methodology): “…search signals and terminal frequencies ranging from 43 to 46 kHz were assigned to Myotis albescens (Surlykke and Kalko, 2008) and recordings with similar call types but higher terminal frequencies between 48 and 55 kHz to Myotis nigricans (Siemers et al., 2001; Surlykke and Kalko, 2008).”
Fruit detection and discrimination by small fruit-eating bats (Phyllostomidae): echolocation call design and olfaction (2005, methodology): “To minimize possible effects of pseudoreplication inherent to many field studies of bat echolocation, we used averaged call parameters (mean) derived from one sequence per bat and experiment (Siemers et al. 2001).”
