该团队以高分辨率生物标签为主题，揭示了更大的夜行蝙蝠（夜行蝙蝠）可以上升到高海拔，进行长时间的回声引导追逐，并在飞行中消耗迁徙的雀形鸟。这些捕食者通过超声波回声定位、长时间的追逐和在空中捕食猎物等私人感官通道，可以在高海拔地区捕食夜间迁徙的雀形鸟，因此可以利用大多数捕食者难以获得的丰富的食物抵抗力。
据了解，尽管数以十亿计的雀鸟在夜间在高海拔地区进行季节性迁徙，但人们发现只有三种蝙蝠一直在利用这种丰富的猎物抵抗力。然而，尚不清楚这些蝙蝠在哪里以及如何定位、捕捉和吞食相对较大的雀形目猎物。

Abstract: Despite billions of passerines seasonally migrating during the night at high altitudes, only three bat species have been found to consistently tap into this rich prey resource. However, it remains unknown where and how these bats locate, catch, and ingest relatively large passerine prey. Here, we used high-resolution biologging tags to reveal that greater noctule bats (Nyctalus lasiopterus) ascend to high altitudes, engage in long echo-guided chases, and consume migrating passerines in flight. By using a private sensory channel through ultrasonic echolocation, prolonged chasing, and mid-air prey consumption, these predators can hunt nocturnally migrating passerines at high altitudes and therefore exploit a rich food resource that remains largely inaccessible to most predators.
