Beyond food scarcity, is there a risk of bioaccumulation, where pesticides become more concentrated in the bats' systems as they consume contaminated aquatic insects?
If bats increase their hunting activity near polluted streams, does this indicate they are searching more intensely because food is scarcer, or are the pesticides altering insect behavior in a way that makes them more visible?
What are the specific contamination risks associated with using water from a tap versus bottled water during and immediately after a radiological release?
