: Bats were captured by mist nets. Then, they were placed individually in cloth bags and transported to housing in temporary field experimental stations near the bat roosts. No bat suffered any obvious effects from the process of capture, transport, and experiment. No visible physical injuries were observed, although some contests involved physical contact. We removed the aluminum alloy bands before the bats were release. All of the captured bats were released in good health at their original site of capture after the completion of the experiment. Experimental procedures were in compliance with the National Natural Science Foundation of China for experiments involving vertebrate animals and were approved by Northeast Animal Research Authority in Northeast Normal University, China (approval number: NENU-W-2017-101).
