The study includes collecting of echolocation call recording for a call bat library. Also the study of fidelity of individuals in a population that inhabit road culverts in and around Mlawula nature reserve. There is also a behavioral study looking at - home range, day and night roost use and forage with use of radio telemetry.

What discovery settled the debate about what came first in bat evolution: flight or echolocation. And what was the outcome :twisted:

The ‘clawed bat’

Until now, fossil bats haven’t provided any clues for all of them show signs of both echolocation and flight. But a stunning new fossil, discovered by Nancy Simmons from the American Museum of Natural History is an exception and it provides a categorical answer to the long-running debate - the earliest bats could fly but could not echolocate.
