Brown-led team offers first look at how bats land
Date:3/20/2009
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] People have always been fascinated by bats, but the scope of that interest generally is limited to how bats fly and their bizarre habit of sleeping upside down. Until now, no one had studied how bats arrive at their daytime perches.
A Brown University-led research team is the first to document the landing approaches of three species of bats two that live in caves and one that roosts in trees. What they found was surprising: Not all bats land the same way.
"Hanging upside down is what bats do," said Daniel Riskin, a postdoctoral researcher in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at Brown and lead author on a paper published in the Journal of Experimental Biology. "We've known this. But this is the first time anyone has measured how they land."
