Hi Doug
I'm replying using a phone so I'll be brief
1. Yes.
2. Hibernating. This was found a couple winters ago now.
3. Eh, the whole n-s thing with ibats is really based on a few recoveries and early work. I don't see them specifically tied to some n/s tract as much as them taking advantage of unique habitats that happen to be more or less in some n/s alignment. The realization of the hellhole /at/cc connections upset alot of biologists assumptions and raised more questions than answered. How can anyone reAlly presume to know an ibats range behavior when all we really know are some if the stops it makes during it's life cycle
4. That might have been accurAte when published but it is a crock today. Email a link privately and I can change it sometime
