@Per utramque cavernam, could you come up with anything on the etymology and a translation for the quote, please? —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:04, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: RETRAD EN: Bats feeding habits have been determined on the basis of dung (stool/faeces?) samples. We have also checked the composition (ndtr: I'm not sure of what) and the relative abundance of the various insect orders in these three habitats with the help of/by setting light traps. Cities where streets are lit by mercury-vapour lamps constitute important feeding areas for bats. Please Englishify this. --Per utramque cavernam 12:38, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

• TRAD FR: Les habitudes alimentaires des chauves-souris ont été déterminées à partir d’échantillons de fèces. Nous avons également vérifié la composition et l’abondance relative des différents ordres d’insectes dans les trois habitats à l’aide de pièges lumineux. Les villes où les rues sont éclairées par des lampes à vapeur de mercure constituent d’importantes aires d’alimentation pour les chauves-souris.
• ORIGINAL EN: Food habits of the bats were determined from fecal samples, and the composition and relative abundance of various insect orders in the three habitats were assessed using light traps. Towns with mercury-vapor type street lamps appeared to be important feeding areas for the bats.
