Iriarte Díaz, José; Novoa, F. Fernado; Canals, Mauricio (Polish Academy of Sciences, 2002)The wing morphology of bats is very diverse, and may correlate with energetic, behavioural, and ecological demands.

Canals, Mauricio; Rosenmann, Mario; Novoa, F. Fernando; Bozinovic, Francisco (Polish Academy of Sciences, 1998)Huddling is effective in decreasing metabolic rate permitting energy saving. However, this decrease varies among different species depending on physical, physiological and behavioral characteristics of the huddled individuals. ...
