Lubee maximizes the opportunities provided by its living animal collection to facilitate research that leads to a greater understanding of the unique biology and ecology of fruit and nectar bats and improved conservation management of wild and captive populations.
When Lubee was founded, little information existed on the life history of megachiropteran bats in the wild or in captivity. For over a decade, Lubee has supported research that has significantly expanded our knowledge of the reproductive biology, physiology, behavior, nutrition, phylogeny and ecology of megachiropterans and smaller nectar feeding bats.
An overall view can be gained by visiting the Lubee publications list of over 108 scientific publications. Many of the research studies supported by Lubee that involve science in situ are described in detail on the Worldwide Conservation Programs page.
