Female lesser short-tailed bats
can size up a potential mate just from his singing. A new study in Springer's
journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology shows that the New
Zealand bat species Mystacina
tuberculata relies on singing as a primary method of courtship, and
the complex signals given out by males allow females to assess the physiological
suitability of a mate. The research was conducted by Cory Toth of the
University of Auckland and Stuart Parsons of the Queensland University of
Technology in Australia.
