Abstract

We developed a new method for deploying a passive integrated transponder (PIT) with a flexible antenna cable hung as a serpentine curtain at a cave entrance. This fly-through method increased PIT tag detections of nectar-feeding bats (Phyllostomidae) that appeared to pass undetected via other PIT tag antenna configurations.
