contents (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The social behavior of Myotis daubentonii bats was studied in experimental groups kept in an open air cage. The repertoire of identification, aggressive, and friendly (integration) behaviors was described. Anal ysis of their frequencies showed that interactions between the animals were for the most part friendly (61.6%), while aggressive displays were rare (4.6%). Differences in behavior depending on sex and age were revealed: avoidance of contact and aggressive vocalization were observed significantly more frequently in young and adult males than in females. The bats in the experimental groups personally distinguished each other; in group 4, a two level hierarchy was established (a dominant male vs. all other bats), which could be explained by spe cific conditions in the open air cage.
