Ecosystem Services Provided by Bats
Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. ISSN 0077-8923 ANNALS OF THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Issue: The Year in Ecology and Conservation Biology Ecosystem services provided by bats Thomas H. Kunz,1 Elizabeth Braun de Torrez,1 Dana Bauer,2 Tatyana Lobova,3 and Theodore H. Fleming4 1Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts. 2Department of Geography, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts. 3Department of Biology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. 4Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona Address for correspondence: Thomas H. Kunz, Ph.D., Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215. [email protected] Ecosystem services are the benefits obtained from the environment that increase human well-being. Economic valuation is conducted by measuring the human welfare gains or losses that result from changes in the provision of ecosystem services. Bats have long been postulated to play important roles in arthropod suppression, seed dispersal, and pollination; however, only recently have these ecosystem services begun to be thoroughly evaluated. Here, we review the available literature on the ecological and economic impact of ecosystem services provided by bats. We describe dietary preferences, foraging behaviors, adaptations, and phylogenetic histories of insectivorous, frugivorous, and nectarivorous bats worldwide in the context of their respective ecosystem services. For each trophic ensemble, we discuss the consequences of these ecological interactions on both natural and agricultural systems. Throughout this review, we highlight the research needed to fully determine the ecosystem services in question. Finally, we provide a comprehensive overview of economic valuation of ecosystem services. -

Behavioral Ecology of Singing in the Heart-Nosed Bat
BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY OF SINGING IN THE HEART-NOSED BAT, CARDIODERMA COR A Dissertation by GRACE CHRISTINA SMARSH Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Michael Smotherman Committee Members, Adam Jones Gil Rosenthal Sharon Gursky Head of Department, Tom McKnight August 2017 Major Subject: Biology Copyright 2017 Grace Smarsh ABSTRACT Although singing has been recently recognized in some bat species, the prevalence and ecological significance of this behavior in bats is still mysterious. Cardioderma cor, the heart-nosed bat, was one of the first bats reported to sing, but little is known about the behavior of this species. Unlike other singing bats, this species roosts in groups during the day but disperses nightly to exclusive foraging areas, whereupon they sing from perches. The goal of this dissertation was to investigate the behavioral ecology of singing in C. cor, addressing key questions such as which bats sing, when and where they sing, and what and why they sing. I conducted a series of experiments to test the hypothesis that C. cor sings to create and defend foraging territories, a behavior commonly observed in songbirds but not mammals. I recorded the singing and sonar behavior of individuals across three field seasons in Tanzania. I mist-netted, tagged, and VHF-tracked 14 individuals to collect movement and singing data. Finally, I conducted acoustic playback experiments with 10 singers. C. cor males showed high fidelity to closely abutting night ranges that varied in size from 0.97 to 5.23 ha. -

Sri Lanka, 2017
Sri Lanka Mammal Tour: 19 February – 1 March, 2017 Mike Richardson [email protected] Sri Lanka has a lot to offer the mammal enthusiast and over the years I have read a number of reports from some very productive trips on mammalwatching.com. The majority of people have enjoyed considerable success using Bird and Wildlife Team, in particular a guide named Udithe Hettige. In February 2017, I embarked on my own eleven day trip, joined by Karen and Simon Spavin, and John Sadler. We had secured Udithe as our guide so our expectations were high. Indian Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) – John Sadler Our trip was immensely successful and we recorded over 70 mammal species including most of our targets. Unlike the majority of my trip reports, I have not provided accurate site details for obvious reasons. Instead I’ve aimed to provide an idea of what can be seen on a dedicated mammal watching trip to Sri Lanka with little sleep and an outstanding guide. The Bird and Wildlife Team www.birdandwildlifeteam.com The Bird and Wildlife Team were extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. The vehicle and driver they supplied were to an exceptional standard and all the accommodation and meals were excellent. We met several other guides from the company at various sites around the island. All were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and took an interest in our progress. Uditha certainly lived up to his reputation as a world class guide and naturalist. He went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable trip, managing to find the majority of our target species along with a few unexpected surprises. -
A Review of Chiropterological Studies and a Distributional List of the Bat Fauna of India

Based on published information and study of museum specimens, an upto date checklist of the bat fauna of India including 127 species in 40 genera is being provided. Additionaly, new distribution localities for Indian bat species recorded after Bates and Harrison, 1997 is also provided. Since the systematic status of many species occurring in the country is unclear, it is proposed that an integrative taxonomic approach may be employed to accurately quantify the bat diversity of India.

Singing Strategies Are Linked to Perch Use on Foraging Territories in Heart
Singing strategies are linked to perch use on foraging territories in heart-nosed bats Grace Smarsh1, Ashley Long2, and Michael Smotherman3 1Weizmann Institute of Science 2Louisiana State University 3Texas A&M University July 19, 2021 Abstract Acoustic communication allows animals to coordinate and optimize resource utilization in space. Cardioderma cor, the heart- nosed bat, is one of the few species of bats known to sing during nighttime foraging. Previous research found that heart-nosed bats react aggressively to song playback, supporting the territorial defense hypothesis of singing in this species. By tracking 14 individuals nightly during the dry seasons in Tanzania we further investigated the territorial defense hypothesis from an ecological standpoint, which predicts singing should be associated with exclusive areas containing a resource. We quantified the singing behavior of individuals at all perches used throughout the night. Using home range analysis tools, we quantified overall use night ranges and singing ranges, as well as areas used in early and later time periods at night. Males engaged in antiphonal singing from small (x = 3.48 ± 2.71 ha), largely exclusive areas that overlapped with overall night ranges used for gleaning prey. Individuals varied in singing effort; however, all sang significantly more as night progressed. Subsequently, areas used earlier at night and overall use areas were both larger than singing areas. Individuals varied in singing strategies. Some males sang for long periods in particular trees and had smaller core areas, while others moved frequently among singing trees. The most prolific singers used more perches overall. The results support the hypothesis that acoustic communication repertoires evolved in support of stable foraging territory advertisement and defense in some bats. -

They are the only true flying mammals, comprising altogether globally 1116 species in 202 genera under 18 families (Wilson & Reeder, 2005). They constitute about quarter of the entire mammal species. Bats are characteristic as their forelimbs are modified into membranous wings (patagium), supported by long digits. Membrane called uropatagium (interfemoral membrane) is also present between the hind limbs. Most of the bats live in colonies. They are nocturnal, and usually hide in dark places during daytime. They chiefly consume fruits and insects. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951, 1966 (2nd edition) enlisted mammal species (Including Chiroptera) reported till 1946 from India in their exhaustive account “Checklist of Palaearctic and Indian mammals”. -
