Behavioural flexibility: the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, and the northern long-eared bat,M. septentrionalis , both glean and hawk prey (2003, unknown): “Nevertheless , this account does not clarify the functional significance or evolutionary impetus for broadband, high peak-frequency calls recorded from many other species of specialized gleaning bat when taking prey from surfaces (Schmidt et al. 2000; Schnitzler & Kalko 2001; Swift & Racey 2002).”
Differences in sensory ecology contribute to resource partitioning in the bats Myotis bechsteinii and Myotis nattereri (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) (2006, background): “Acknowledgements Funding for the study was provided by the German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Si 816/2-1), the University of Aberdeen and the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland.”
Gleaning bats as underestimated predators of herbivorous insects: diet of Micronycteris microtis (Phyllostomidae) in Panama (2005, background): “However, most published data of diets of gleaning insectivorous bats are based on faecal analysis and/or analysis of prey remains under night roosts, and both methods suffer several limitations (Arlettaz 1996, Swift & Racey 2002, Whitaker 1988).”
