Influence of moonlight on the foraging behaviour of the Indian short-nosed fruit bat Cynopterus sphinx: Radio-telemetry studies

摘要

The foraging activity of the Indian short-nosed fruit bat, Cynopterus sphinx was studied using radiotelemetry. The foraging activity gets modulated with different phases of the moon. During bright moonlit nights these frugivorous bats exhibit less activity as against that during new moon nights. [References: 11]
