Consortiums

  • The Global Union of Bat Diversity Networks (GBatNet).

  • Bat1K is an initiative to sequence the genomes of all living bat species, approximately 1400 species in total.

  • BBF supports and promotes bats by creating opportunities for research and researchers; generating permanent data repositories to share bat research data and raising awareness of the importance of bats and bat research. This is a branch of Peratus Sciences.

  • Bats have extraordinary metabolism that includes torpor and hibernation. For sustained deep space travel, it will be necessary to conserve energy in a similar way.
