DESCRIPTION:Bats feeding on swarming insects face unique energetic challeng
 es due to the ephemeral nature of their food. The lesser bulldog bat (Noct
 ilio albiventris) in Panama typically spends less than an hour foraging in
  the evening\, balancing flight costs and food intake. However\, little is
  known about how reproductive females adjust their foraging behavior to me
 et the increased energy demands during the reprodutive period. Based on ac
 oustic data collected over 319 nights across 19 months\, we found that the
 se bats significantly increased their feeding activity by adding foraging 
 bouts in the morning (02:00–08:00) during peak lactation month from May 
 to July. This selective morning foraging exemplifies the adaptive strategi
 es of bats and highlights their remarkable behavioral flexibility in respo
 nding to heightened energetic demands.\nSpeaker: Sarah Hirsch
