Overall, wood mouse distribution appeared as clearly affected by edge effects, the species behaving as a typical ecotonic, soft-edge species, as expected by its generalist habitat selection behaviour.

This is the first demonstration of the use of a celestial cue by bats and of spontaneous orientation by them in a planetarium.

Most of the findings of these banding studies have related to the homing ability, movements, and longevity of various species of the more colonial, cave dwelling bats.

From the verified flight trajectories, the distribution of shelters and the ethological characteristics of the species, the most probable migration path have been established.

A Golgi study of the neocortex of Miniopterus sthreibersi and pipistrellus revealed the presence of pyramidal cells distributed in an orderly fashion and many types of local-circuit neurons including small, medium-size and large multipolar cells with smooth dendrites.

Golgi studies on the cerebral cortex (central region) of newborn and adult bats have shown that extraverted cells in layer II-III are the source of a rich horizontal plexus originating from large numbers of long, proximal axonic collaterals.
