#Morphing bat skull model: Using engineering plus evolutionary analyses to answer natural selection questionsintroducing a new approach that combines evolutionary
valos of Stony Brook University and support from the National Science Foundation studied the evolutionary histories of the adaptive radiation of New world leaf-nosed bats based on their dietary niches.
They set out to tackle this by examining almost 200 species of New world leaf-nosed bats that exploit many different food niches:
She and colleagues built an engineering model of a bat skull that can morph into the shape of any species
Analyzing the engineering results over hundreds of evolutionary trees of New world leaf-nosed bats revealed three optimal snout shapes favored by natural selection they report.
Turns out it was remained all that from a Brazilian freetail bat from a Southwest Airlines flight from Sacramento, a Boeing 737 that departed at dusk.
Preserving heritage and nature in Hong kong s urban jungle is not new even fruit bats might escape habitat destruction after conservationist lobbying.

Because of the declining bat population, British legislation protects bats and their roosts. Fungal disease and habitat destruction have endangered the bats and modern buildings pose new problems for bats pushed out of rural habitats to urban areas because of development.
The concern is so great that the Royal Institute of British Architects is offering a course, in conjunction with the Bat Conservation Trust, on designing bat roosts.

A group of endangered fruit bats had taken up residency in the trees where the designers wanted to build a covered bridge to connect two of the buildings.
I call it the million-dollar fruit bat, he said, referring to the added cost of the new bridge design to accommodate the critters.
When asked about his thoughts on having to keep the fruit bats happy, Williams pointed out that there were also activists who demanded that most of the trees be preserved, all of
