Movement seasonality in a desert-dwelling bat revealed by miniature GPS loggers

Abstract:

BackgroundBats are among the most successful desert mammals. Yet, our understanding of their spatio-temporal dynamics in habitat use associated with the seasonal oscillation of resources is still limited. In this study, we have employed state-of-the-art lightweight GPS loggers to track the yellow-winged bat Lavia frons in a desert in northern Kenya to investigate how seasonality in a desert affects the a) spatial and b) temporal dimensions of movements in a low-mobility bat.MethodsBats were tracked during April–May 2017 (rainy season) and January–February 2018 (dry season) using 1-g GPS loggers. Spatial and temporal dimensions of movements were quantified, respectively, as the home range and nightly activity patterns. We tested for differences between seasons to assess responses to seasonal drought. In addition, we quantified home range overlap between neighbouring individuals to investigate whether tracking data will be in accordance with previous reports on territoriality and social monogamy in L. frons.ResultsWe obtained data for 22 bats, 13 during the rainy and 9 during the dry season. Home ranges averaged 5.46\u2009±\u200911.04\u2009ha and bats travelled a minimum distance of 99.69\u2009±\u2009123.42\u2009m/hour. During the dry season, home ranges were larger than in the rainy season, and bats exhibited high activity during most of the night. No apparent association with free water was identified during the dry season. The observed spatial organisation of home ranges supports previous observations that L. frons partitions the space into territories throughout the year.ConclusionsOur results suggest that, in low-mobility bats, a potential way to cope with seasonally harsh conditions and resource scarcity in deserts is to cover larger areas and increase time active, suggesting lower cost-efficiency of the foraging activity. Climate change may pose additional pressures on L. frons and other low-mobility species by further reducing food abundances.

期刊介绍

Movement Ecology is an open-access interdisciplinary journal publishing novel insights from empirical and theoretical approaches into the ecology of movement of the whole organism - either animals, plants or microorganisms - as the central theme. We welcome manuscripts on any taxa and any movement phenomena (e.g. foraging, dispersal and seasonal migration) addressing important research questions on the patterns, mechanisms, causes and consequences of organismal movement. Manuscripts will be rigorously peer-reviewed to ensure novelty and high quality.

《运动生态学》是一本开放获取的跨学科期刊，以从经验和理论方法对整个有机体--无论是动物、植物还是微生物--的运动生态学的新见解为中心主题。我们欢迎任何分类群和任何运动现象（如觅食、扩散和季节性迁移）的手稿，解决生物体运动的模式、机制、原因和后果等重要研究问题。手稿将经过严格的同行评审，以确保新奇性和高质量。
