A call-and-response system facilitates group cohesion among disc-winged bats
(2013)
Acoustic signals are important in maintaining group cohesion, particularly in highly mobile species. For these signals to facilitate group cohesion, individuals must be able to recognize, and respond to, calls emitted by ...
Social Calls Produced within and near the Roost in Two Species of Tent-Making Bats, Dermanura watsoni and Ectophylla alba
(2013-04)
Social animals regularly face the problem of relocating conspecifics when separated. Communication is one of the most important mechanisms facilitating group formation and cohesion. Known as contact calls, signals exchanged ...
Strong individual signatures and weaker group signatures in contact calls of Spix’s disc-winged bat, Thyroptera tricolor
(2012-01)
Spix’s disc-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor, form small, long-term social groups in which members are
loyal to a patch of forest but move on a daily basis between highly ephemeral roosting sites (partly unfurled Heliconia ...
Repeatability in the contact calling system of Spix's disc-winged bat (Thyroptera tricolor)
(2015-01)
Spix's disc-winged bat (Thyroptera tricolor) forms cohesive groups despite using an extremely ephemeral roost, partly due to the use of two acoustic signals that help individuals locate roost sites and group embers. While ...
Cooperative signaling behavior of roost location in a leaf-roosting bat
(2010-11)
Research suggests that social calls are important for conveying information about food and roost location in bats. However, no studies have specifically documented calls that are used to actively attract conspecifics to ...
Sound amplification by means of a horn-like roosting structure in Spix's disc-winged bat
(2013-10)
While sound is a signal modality widely used by many animals, it is very susceptible to attenuation, hampering effective long-distance communication. A strategy to minimize sound attenuation that has been historically used ...
Social calls used by a leaf-roosting bat to signal location
(2010-01)
Social calls in bats have many functions, including mate attraction and maintaining contact during flight. Research suggests that social calls may also be used to transfer information about roosts, but no studies have yet ...
