Location of the study and travel routes of all bats obtained during the study.
Each bat is represented by one colour.
Figure 2.
Attachment of GPS data logger.
The area distal to the scapulae was clipped to 2–3 mm length (not shown), and skin adhesive (Sauer-Hautkleber™) applied and allowed to semi-cure (A). The base of the logger was coated with 100% ethyl isocyanoacrylate glue (B), and pressed onto the bed of tissue glue, with the aerial trailing caudally (C). The logger was held firmly in place until the glue dried and the bat was released within 2 hours (D).

Foraging areas and travel routes of Bats 1–6.
Coloured lines represent days. Green markers represent foraging areas used by bats independently. Blue markers indicate foraging areas shared between bats 2 and 4, and bats 4 and 5.
