The other thing the researchers looked at were micro-RNAs, or short sequences of RNA that regulate the activity of other genes. Here, they found that the bats increase the levels of micro-RNAs ...

As the bats groomed each other, sniffed each other, and occasionally fought, their brains showed similar neural activity, in much the same way that humans’ nervous systems do.

Our fruit bats, which also could be called flying foxes because they have foxlike faces, are native to India and Sri Lanka. They have wingspreads of three feet, so they obviously are very large bats.

According to Agencia SINC, the sensors registered over 1,400 measurements daily, including the bats' activity levels and environmental data such as temperature, air pressure, and wind speed ...

Bats don't need just one type of forest, they need a lot of different types of forests, and that's what they provide out there with these stands in various stages of succession and ages," said ...

Daniel Lewanzik, Christian C. Voigt. Transition from conventional to light-emitting diode street lighting changes activity of urban bats. Journal of Applied Ecology, 2016; DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.12758 ...

Bats produce high frequency sounds that bounce off objects, and they listen to echoes to "see" where the objects are in the environment. The team was ultimately able to combine data about the bat's ...

Cynthia Moss, a professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, first conceived of recording the neural activity of bats-in-flight 25 years ago.

Austin's colony of more than 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats who live under the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge are used to noise, too, so hoards of eclipse viewers likely won't phase ...
