Bats

Bats and other animals tend to accidentally fly into wind turbines which endangers them and impedes the turbines' work.

Contrary to the firmly consensual opinion formed during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new TAU study has found no clear evidence that COVID-19 was transmitted from the black/brown flying mammals.

Weizmann Institute's study suggests neurons are not programmed for a single task, but rather are highly dynamic and agile.

Bats were found to possess impressive long-term memories in a study conducted by Smithsonian Tropical Research Institution researchers.

For the first time, researchers at Tel Aviv University studied the activity and sensory behavior of fruit bats that choose to be active during the day.

In the first study of its kind, TAU researchers reveal how bat pups learn to navigate from their mothers. The researchers attached tiny GPS devices to both pups and mothers to monitor their flight.

Animals that are adapted to living in cities are known to be less risk-averse than those living in rural environments. The TAU team wanted to find how this trait occurs in fruit bat pups.

A new study finds that men prefer cooler temperatures than women because of an evolutionary phenomenon that segregates males from females in periods that they don't need each other.

Researchers looked for viruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 and found three among bats living in Laotian caves that had receptor binding domains closely resembling those found in the virus.

The researchers found that bats, like humans, enjoy the diversity of food in Tel Aviv, many of them living in the country and foraging in the vast city.
