A new study sheds light on why North America's bats are dying in large numbers at wind energy facilities. Using a novel chemical tracking method, University of Florida researchers discovered that bats ...

The bats use the way the sun's light is scattered in the atmosphere at sunset to calibrate their internal magnetic compass, which helps them to fly in the right direction, a new study has shown.

Javier Buceta, associate professor of bioengineering, Paolo Bocchini, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, and postdoctoral student Graziano Fiorillo of Lehigh University have ...

How do we smell? The answer lies in the 1,000 or so genes that encode what's known as olfactory receptors inside our noses. This gene superfamily constitutes 3 to 6 percent of a mammal's genes. But ...

Humans aren’t the only ones who follow traffic rules. Bats do it too, researchers report March 26 in PLOS Computational Biology. Scientists eavesdropped on echolocating Daubenton’s bats (Myotis ...

Building a framework that uses satellite information and parameter sampling techniques, which integrates data and modeling to assess the migratory patterns of bats could help to predict the next ...
