Collaborating with Fauna & Flora International (FFI) Programme Officer Adrian Garside, her discovery led to the identification of a completely new genus of bat found while on a mission to conduct general field research and pursue conservation efforts in this remote region of Africa....
Researchers reconstruct the evolution of bat migration with the aid of a mathematical modelNot just birds, but also a few species of bats face a long journey every year. Researchers at Princeton University in the U.S. and at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Radolfzell, Germany studied the migratory behavior of the largest extant family of bats, the so-called "Vespertilionidae" with the help of mathematical models. They discovered that the migration over short as well as...

The pond bat (Myotis dasycneme) is a vesper bat that can be found in Eurasia, with a range that stretches from Russia to France, and includes Kazakhstan. It roosts in different areas depending on the season. In the summer, it roosts in lowland areas in woods or meadows, with a source of water nearby. These roots are most often found in hollow trees, church towers, or roofs. Winter roosts are commonly found in the foothills of mountains, with most of these occurring at an altitude below 984...
The greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis) is a vesper bat that can be found in many areas of Europe including Albania, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, and Germany, among many other areas. During the summer nursery roosts are made in northern Europe, and are almost always located in attics of large buildings, like churches. In southern Europe, these roosts can be found in caves, or bat boxes in western Poland and Germany. The winter roosts of these bats are always underground, in areas...
