Pilot Study of Hibernation Patterns in Noctule Bats (Nyctalus noctula): Influence of Group Size

The results showed that bats in larger groups entered longer and more stable torpor, with no instances of full arousal (Ts >20°C) and the role of social thermoregulation in conserving energy.

Deep Torpor Patterns and Body Mass Loss of Above-Ground Hibernating Bats (Nyctalus noctula) in Captivity ― Effects of Sex, Age, and Grouping

It seems that N. noctula, as an above-grounded hibernator, benefits more from group hibernation than solitary hibernation, while sub-adult males entered the wintering period with lower body mass and balanced the use of energy resources for survival and mating.

Mating without intromission in a bat.

It is shown that in serotine bats (Eptesicus serotinus) the penis is used as a 'copulatory arm' rather than an intromittent organ, revealing a novel copulatory behaviour in mammals.

Multiple isotope tracers in fur keratin discriminate between mothers and offspring.

The results suggest that isotope ratio data of juvenile bats should not be used for transfer functions in isoscape origin models because of isotopic routing and discrimination during lactation.
