Monitoring, deterrence and curtailment make skies safer for bats
(PHYSorg.com Biology)

The German word for bat is Fledermaus, which translates literally to `flutter mouse.` But while some bats do look like mice fluttering on leathery wings, bats are more closely related to humans than rodents. And, as NREL reported last year, bats are amazing. Whether they are providing pest control by hunting mosquitoes, pollinating flowers by drinking nectar, or dispersing seeds by eating fruit, bats are vital to the health of our planet.
