Some species of European bats are known to attack birds as they migrate to Africa. However, they must trap them while in flight: a hard task for such small predators. The behaviour has previously been ...

A new international study led by researchers from Aarhus University and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) reveals that small bats can be just as efficient predators as lions – and ...

To exploit a rich food resource that remains largely inaccessible to most predators, Europe’s largest bat captures, kills, and consumes nocturnally migrating birds in flight high above the ground, ...

A new international study led by researchers from Aarhus University and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) reveals that small bats can be just as efficient predators as lions—and often ...

Researchers observing two large urban bat roosts in northern Germany discovered for the first time ever that Brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) are actively hunting and killing bats mid-flight or as they ...
