DESCRIPTION:How animals find unpredictable resources and avoid competition
is an ongoing topic in ecology. Greater spear-nosed bats (Phyllostomus
hastatus) are facultative social foragers that live in stable groups o
f genetically unrelated\, but highly cooperative females. Female Phyllosto
mus often forage together\, actively recruiting group-mates to temporally
unpredictable food sources like flowering trees and\, it has been reported
\, jointly defending these valuable resources. Because they are a widely d
istributed species that experiences significant fluctuation in resource di
stribution and availability throughout the annual cycle and across their r
ange\, P. hastatus has great potential for testing variation in soc
ial coordination. We used GPS-tracking from individual bats\, to understan
d if females and males of P. hastatus coordinate foraging movements
and how they use foraging patches during different years\, within and bet
ween three different caves in Bocas del Toro\, Panama.\nSpeaker: Camila Ca
