While researching our QUEST TV story on Northern California's bats, I discovered these stunning videos of bats in mid flight produced by the labs of biologists Sharon Swartz and Kenny Breuer, at Brown ...

In a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, researchers have studied the efficiency of migratory bats—a species that weighs about eight grams and is found in almost all ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- The maneuverability of a bat in flight makes even Harry Potter's quidditch performance look downright clumsy. While many people may be content to simply watch ...

Bats generate a measurably distinct aerodynamic footprint to achieve lift and maneuverability, quite unlike birds and contrary to many of the assumptions that aerodynamicists have used to model animal ...

Bats and birds, the only two vertebrate fliers on Earth, use their wings very differently, according to scientists who observed small, nectar-feeding bats flying through fog in a wind tunnel.

Researchers from Konstanz have measured the heart rate of bats over several days in the wild, including complete flights—the first time this has been done for a bat species. To record the heart rate ...

Researchers at the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience mapped the brain regions controlling movements in Egyptian fruit bats. Large regions of motor cortex are dedicated to the tongue, which makes sonar ...
