• Mating Behavior as a Possible Cause of Bat Fatalities at Wind Turbines (2008, background): “Such observations indicate resource defense polygyny, a common mating strategy employed by male bats when a resource needed by females is defendable (Altringham 1996, McCracken and Wilkinson 2000).”
• Do social networks of female northern long-eared bats vary with reproductive period and age? (2010, background): “Sociality is taxonomically and geographically widespread among the roughly 1,200 described bat species (Kerth 2008; Kunz and Lumsden 2003; McCracken and Wilkinson 2000).”
• Nonrandom association patterns at northern long- eared bat maternity roosts (2007, background): “Despite evidence that sociality is particularly widespread and diverse among bats (Burland and Worthington Wilmer 2001; McCracken and Wilkinson 2000), quantitative studies of the various elements of bat societies have been rare.”
• Analysis of Spix's disc-winged bat association patterns and roosting home ranges reveal a novel social structure among bats (2004, background): “Although females in these groups may form highly stable, long-term associations (see references in McCracken & Wilkinson 2000), associations between males and females are typically limited to the breeding tenure of the males, and intense competition for breeding status probably prevents long-term…”
• Eavesdropping by bats on the feeding buzzes of conspecifics (2007, background): “However, this non-foraging playback was recorded during swarming, when bats aggregate for mating (McCracken and Wilkinson 2000), and could possibly have contained other signals (e.”
• White-nose syndrome is likely to extirpate the endangered Indiana bat over large parts of its range (2013, background): “We concentrated on describing the female segment of the population because of the polygynous nature of this species (McCracken and Wilkinson, 2000).”
• Functional and Evolutionary Ecology of Bats (2006, background): “Many exciting discoveries in this area of bat biology have been reviewed (Bradbury, 1977; Kunz, 1982; Kunz and Lumsden, 2003; Lewis, 1995; McCracken and Wilkinson, 2000; Burland and Worthington-Wilmer, 2001; Wilkinson and McCracken, 2003).”
