Nectar‐feeding bird and bat niches in two worlds: pantropical comparisons of vertebrate pollination systems (2008, background): “Glossophagine nectar bats average only one-third the mass of pteropodid nectar bats (Table 3) and typically hover while visiting flowers (von Helversen, 1993; Stockwell, 2001; von Helversen & Winter, 2003).”
Diversidade de morcegos (Mammalia, Chiroptera) em remanescentes florestais do município de Fênix, noroeste do Paraná, Brasil (2004, background): “Dada a redução da disponibilidade deste recurso em paisagens fragmentadas, esse comportamento pode, em hipótese, ser ainda mais acentuado (STOCKWELL 2001).”
Radio-tracking reveals that lesser horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus hipposideros) forage in woodland (2002, background): “Its wings have the smallest aspect ratio within the family (Norberg & Rayner, 1987) and other morphological traits that enhance its wing camber ( Stockwell, 2001 ).”
50 years of bat tracking: device attachment and future directions (2014, background): “However, a comparative study of morphologically similar bats showed that body size had the strongest effect on manoeuvrability, along with wing camber (Stockwell 2001), with larger bats less able to manoeuvre through increasingly complex environments.”
Ecomorphology of Bats: Comparative and Experimental Approaches Relating Structural Design to Ecology (2003, background): “Many maneuvers by bats are not simple rolls but, rather, also involve pitching and yawing moments (Norberg 1976a; Stockwell 2001; fi g. 6.6).”
The effect of signal complexity on localization performance in bats that localize frog calls (2008, unknown): “A study of phyllostomid bats of similar size and wing morphology (Lophostoma silvicolum) found that bats were able to manoeuvre obstacles spaced one wing length apart with few collisions (Stockwell 2001).”
