Echolocating bats prefer a high risk-high gain foraging strategy to increase prey profitability

Echolocating bats prefer a high risk-high gain foraging strategy to increase prey profitability

Predators that target multiple prey types are predicted to switch foraging modes according to prey profitability to increase energy returns in dynamic environments. Here, we use bat-borne tags and DNA metabarcoding of feces to test the hypothesis that greater mouse-eared bats make immediate foraging...
