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.

Brown University engineers and biologists have joined forces to record the fine details of wing and body movement in bat flight -- together with the patterns of air movement that generate lift.

In the course of evolution manifold sensory systems developed which allowed animals varying possibilities to perceive their environment. Many insect species for example, but also some fish, amphibians ...

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

In a recent study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers conduct an evolutionary analysis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related bat β-coronavirus ...
