Are bats able to sniff out their roosts?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

To optimize the roosts searching strategies, bats need an extensive knowledge of a wide spectrum of suitable roosts and they should be able to identify and discriminate between them. Mainly vocalizations being heard from inside of the roosts or from itssurroundings have been described as main cues in the recognition process. However, the use of chemical signals by animals may represent the oldest form of communication and especially in bats, due to their nocturnal activity, olfactory cues are likely tobe an important mode of gathering information. In tree-dwelling bats a lots of their faeces and urine are being left near the entries to the roosts which are changed by some bat species very often. For that reason the importance of faeces and urine as olfactory signals used for discrimination between bat roosts was tested in the soprano pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus).
