Sick bats behave in a similar manner to sick humans

Did the new coronavirus come for bats? It now appears that bats maintain social distance as well, which may aid in the prevention of the spread of contagious diseases in their colonies. Researchers from Tel Aviv University showed in a recent study that sick bats, like unwell humans, prefer to be away from their groups, most likely to heal and to protect others. Dr. Kelsey Moreno, a postdoctoral researcher, and PhD candidate Maya Weinberg conducted the research in the laboratory of Prof. Yossi Yovel, Head of the Sagol School of Neuroscience and a researcher at the School of Zoology at the George S. Marshall Faculty of Life Sciences.

Sick bats also employ social distancing which prevents the outbreak of epidemics

Fireflies Protective Musical Armor Against Bats

Date Time Fireflies’ Protective ‘Musical Armor’ Against Bats They sure know how to put on a show at nights – fireflies are striking with their glow-in-the-dark feature. But have you ever stopped and wondered how these glowing insects defend themselves against predators? A trailblazing TAU study reveals that fireflies produce strong ultrasonic sounds that may potentially work to deter bats, serving as a ‘musical armor’ against these predators. The discovery of such a ‘musical battle’ between fireflies and bats may pave the way for further research, and the discovery of a new defense mechanism developed by animals against their predators. According to the study, the fireflies produce strong ultrasonic sounds – soundwaves that the human ear, and more importantly the fireflies themselves, cannot detect. The researchers hypothesize that these sounds are, in fact, meant for the ears of the bats, keeping them away from the poisonous fireflies, and thereby serving as a k
