Lunar phobic bats dodge moonlight
1 October 2012
Last updated at 07:47
Moonlight scares bats into hiding in the shadows, new research suggests.
Scientists in Mexico collated studies of bat behaviour from all over the world and analysed them for evidence of "lunar phobia" or "fear of the moon".
The study found that the activity of bats in moonlit habitats decreased on bright nights compared with bats that live and forage in darker places.
This may be explained by a higher risk of predation and lack of feeding opportunities in moonlight, it found.
The findings are published in the journal Mammalian Biology and represent what scientists have called "the first reliable evaluation of the lunar phobia phenomenon".
The study brought together a wide range of research concerning how these nocturnal animals behave and interact with the light of the moon.
"Evidence that the activity of bats decreased with increasing intensity of moonlight was contradictory, so that's why we decided to conduct this research," said the study's lead author, Mr Romeo Saldana-Vazquez, a biologist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
"The effect of moonlight on the activity of bats had not been revised despite the existence of information accumulated over 20 years in different parts of the world," he said.
Drawing on data about 26 species from 11 studies, scientists modelled the activity of bats at different latitudes and in different habitats against the phases of the moon.
The analysis concluded that lunar phobia is "common among bats" and showed that the reduction in activity in moonlight differed depending on habitat type.
"Habitats where light enters more easily causes more bat-activity decreases compared with bats that forage in the darkest places," said Mr Saldana-Vazquez.
Species that forage over water and beneath the forest canopy showed considerably more lunar phobia than those in sheltered habitats, according to the study.
Scientists suggest that this may be because out in the open, the moonlight means these bats can be more easily spotted by predators.
Another factor could be that the bats' prey becomes more scarce when there is more light.
The scientists also linked bats that lived closer to the equator to a stronger form of lunar phobia, though this may have been caused by differences between bat species and their ecosystems, rather than the brightness of the moon in tropical regions.
One exception was found to be bats that fly above the treetops. These species did not tend to decrease their activity on brighter nights.
Mr Saldana-Vazquez said it is possible that this is because these bats tend to fly fast and live in temperate climates where bats have fewer predators.
"We think that this study will help to re-open the debate about the existence of a widespread pattern," added Mr Saldana-Vazquez. He now hopes that the questions raised by the study will be investigated further.
"For example assess[ing] the density of predators and prey in studies of bat foraging activity... could provide more insights into the mechanism behind the reduction in activity of bats, and the possible mechanisms behind the evolution of [these] behaviour patterns," he said.

At least 20 injured in California train crash
HANFORD, Calif. (AP) ? Two cars and the locomotive of an Amtrak train carrying about 169 passengers derailed Monday after colliding with a big rig truck in California's Central Valley, authorities said.
At least 20 passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries, authorities said.
The 12:25 p.m. crash occurred when the driver of the tractor-trailer carrying cotton trash failed to yield and hit the train, authorities said. The impact pushed the two passenger cars and the locomotive off the tracks south of Hanford, a farming town.
The train traveled about 600 feet after the collision before hitting a switchback and derailing, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Scott Harris.
Officials have not determined how fast the train or the truck were going, but the average speed for Amtrak through the area is 70 to 80 mph, while the speed limit on the roadway where the truck was traveling is 55 mph, Harris said.
After the crash, metal pieces from the truck could be seen inside the train, which was covered by cotton seeds. Several pieces of luggage were also scattered around the area.
Kings County Assistant Sheriff Dave Putnam described the injuries to passengers as bumps, bruises, scrapes and possibly broken bones.
The crash occurred at a crossing that was equipped with gates to stop traffic, Putnam said.
Eight of the injured passengers were taken to Adventist Medical Center in Hanford and five more were expected, said hospital spokeswoman Christine Pickering. She did not provide details on the extent of their injuries.
"We did call in additional physicians and staff," Pickering said.
Four additional injured passengers were taken to nearby Adventist Medical Center in Selma, while seven people were taken to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, officials said.
The train was on its way from Oakland to Bakersfield, according to Amtrak. It had four rail cars and a locomotive.
The truck driver suffered minor injuries, according to California Highway Patrol spokesman Jerry Pierce. Investigators will try to determine if the crash was caused by driver error, a malfunctioning crossing arm, or something else, the CHP said.
"This is a big, huge chaotic scene with lots of agencies involved," Pierce said.
Pierce said the other passengers have been taken to an auditorium in Hanford, where they will board a train and continue to their destinations or family members will pick them up.
All train service through the area has been stopped, with the work of moving the derailed rail cars and repairing the tracks expected to last through early Tuesday, officials said.
"The estimates are that we would have it open in time for the morning rush hour," said Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole.
Meanwhile, authorities were at the scene of a second accident involving a freight train and a tractor-trailer about 10 miles away.
In the second collision, which took place around 4 p.m., the truck driver suffered major injuries, according to the CHP. No additional details have been released.
