The role of odour in the discrimination of conspecifics by pipistrelle bats
Article Abstract:
A study of pipistrelle bats revealed their capacity to identify familiar individuals through scent cues and distinguish between known and unknown conspecific odors. Both males and females effectively differentiate odors of colony mates of the same sex and ascertain their reproductive conditions.

Roost switching, roost sharing and social cohesion: Forest-dwelling big brown bats, Eptesicus fuscus, conform to the fission-fusion model
Article Abstract:
Radiotelemetry is used to quantify roost switching and assess associations between members of maternity colonies of forest-dwelling big brown bats. The results suggest that forest-dwelling big brown bats conform to a fission-fusion roosting pattern.
