๐ฆA new article from our research team !
๐This time, we used 3D acoustic tracking of bats to study their behaviour when foraging alone, in presence of conspecifics or heterospecifics.
๐ฏA very interesing way to explore the optimal foraging theory under different scenarios.

A deep dive into optimal foraging theory and social foraging through this bat study: flight speed, tolerance to conspecifics, and adjustments in the presence of heterospecifics revealed via 3D tracking.
The presence of individuals from a different species induces a change in bat's flight strategy, that probably reflects an increase in competitiveness. Inde
