Title: Sickness behaviour reduces network centrality in wild vampire bats Document date: 2020_3_31
ID: arwbvyul_2
Snippet: Here, we induced sickness behaviour in wild-caught vampire bats using injections of 50 lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which mimics the symptoms of a bacterial infection without an active 51 pathogen. LPS treatments allow us to isolate the effects of sickness behaviour from parasite-52 specific manipulations of host behaviour [6, 7] . After injections, we tagged both the 'sick' bats 53 (injected with LPS) and control bats (injected with only saline) wi.....
Document: Here, we induced sickness behaviour in wild-caught vampire bats using injections of 50 lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which mimics the symptoms of a bacterial infection without an active 51 pathogen. LPS treatments allow us to isolate the effects of sickness behaviour from parasite-52 specific manipulations of host behaviour [6, 7] . After injections, we tagged both the 'sick' bats 53 (injected with LPS) and control bats (injected with only saline) with proximity sensors [8] . We 54 released them back into their wild colony and tracked changes in their association rates. Based 55 on the effects of LPS on the physiology and behaviour of captive vampire bats [6, 7], we 56 predicted reduced association rates between 'sick' bats and control bats in the wild. 57
