Social dominance and cooperation in female vampire bats
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.210266
Abstract: When group-living animals develop individualized social relationships, they often regulate cooperation and conflict through a dominance hierarchy. Female common vampire bats have been an experimental system for studying cooperative relationships, yet surprisingly little is known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.12891
Abstract: Metabarcoding diet analysis has become a valuable tool in animal ecology; however, co‐amplified predator sequences are not generally used for anything other than to validate predator identity. Exemplified by the common vampire bat, we demonstrate… read more here.
