Gleaning as a foraging strategy in Natterer's bat Myotis nattereri (2002, methodology): “This finding corroborates that of Siemers and Schnitzler (2000) , who concluded that passive acoustic cues are little used by M. nattereri.”
Echolocation by Insect-Eating Bats (2001, result): “For example, a study on Myotis nattereri, a bat that searches for prey using wideband FM signals very close to vegetation, indicates that these bats tolerate some overlap between prey and clutter echoes (Siemers and Schnitzler 2000).”
Object recognition by echolocation: a nectar-feeding bat exploiting the flowers of a rain forest vine (2003, unknown): “The mere ability to hunt insects in open air or in the ‘‘clutterfree window’’ (the range corresponding to the time interval between overlap of echoes with their own echolocation signal and with clutter-echoes originating from objects and obstacles close to the prey) is amazing enough, but some bat s”
Behavioural flexibility: the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, and the northern long-eared bat,M. septentrionalis , both glean and hawk prey (2003, unknown): “It may, however, be premature to posit that complex surfaces render bats 'acoustically blind' (Arlettaz et al. 2001), particularly given the disparity of opinion on this topic in the literature (e.g. Schmidt 1988; Schmidt et al. 2000; Siemers & Schnitzler 2000; Jensen et al. 2001).”
Echolocation behavior and signal plasticity in the Neotropical bat Myotis nigricans (Schinz, 1821) (Vespertilionidae): a convergent case with European species of Pipistrellus? (2001, methodology): “Equipment and analysis is described in detail elsewhere ( Siemers and Schnitzler 2000 ).”
From spatial orientation to food acquisition in echolocating bats (2003, background): “Studies of Natterer’s bats Myotis nattereri [ 51 ], and of Northern bats”
Fruit detection and discrimination by small fruit-eating bats (Phyllostomidae): echolocation call design and olfaction (2005, background): “Short sound duration combined with large bandwidth facilitates discrimination of individual fruit even with partial echooverlap of the calls (see for an example the insectivorous gleaner in Siemers and Schnitzler 2000 ).”
Differences in sensory ecology contribute to resource partitioning in the bats Myotis bechsteinii and Myotis nattereri (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) (2006, methodology): “Observations were restricted to M. bechsteinii in the present study, since previous studies have already shown ( Siemers and Schnitzler 2000, 2004; Swift and Racey 2002) that M. nattereri locates prey essentially by echolocation close to substrates, continues to emit calls throughout attacks on art”
