Some bats become dormant during higher temperatures to keep cool in the summer months.

Stem-bats such as Onychonycteris and Icaronycteris were already capable of flying and the latter was a laryngeal echolocator. Contrary to the hypothesis of multiple flight origins, which assumes a bat ancestor with only handwings and no plagiopatagia, embryonic development shows the plagiopatagium appearing before the dactyloptagium.
Because evening bats do not enter or hibernate in caves, the species is not at-risk from white-nose syndrome, which has killed over six million bats in the United States since 2006. [21] The evening bat's avoidance of this disease, along with die-offs of many other species, is possibly responsible for the evening bat recently expanding its ...
The bats send out the pulse approximately once every 200 ms, and the steep FM are used to locate obstacles or targets, allowing them to fly indoors. [2] In high latitude areas, female northern bats fly during daytime because of the short nights, but their foraging peaks after dusk and sometime before dawn.
