Now, scientists have equipped bats with lightweight sensors that decode their long-distance travel strategies. These tiny ...

Birds are the undisputed champions of epic travel—but they are not the only long-haul fliers. A handful of bats are known to travel thousands of kilometers in continental migrations across North ...

Ultra-lightweight, intelligent sensors attached to bats uncovered a strategy used by the tiny mammals for travel: they surf the warm fronts of storms to fly further with less energy. Birds are the ...

A new study in the journal Science explains how certain bats may use warm storm fronts to aid in cross-continental migration. Bats and Storm Surfing Bat migration is notoriously difficult to study ...
