Greater horseshoe bat ultrasound calls outside a nursery roost indicate social interaction not light sampling: new article published in Mammal Communications (June 2016)

20th June 2016

This article by Margaret and Peter Andrews is published in our online journal Mammal Communications and focuses on greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) behaviour. Both video and ultrasound recordings were used to observe flight excursions and echolocation calls around a nursery roost.

The findings from this study demonstrate that R. ferrumequinum flight excursions outside a nursery roost have a social function and are not simply light sampling.

Mammal Communications is an online, open access journal which provides a great opportunity for anyone currently researching mammals to publish a short paper on their work. Research on any aspect of mammal biology is accepted, particularly on British and European mammals.

To find out more about the study and read the full paper, please visit the Mammal Communications pages of our website.
