Reference excerpt

Lubee Bat Conservancy is a nonprofit organization in LaCrosse, Florida. The organization was founded in 1989 by Luis F. Bacardi as a center for the research, conservation, and breeding of endangered animals; it later narrowed its focus solely to bats, particularly megabats. Lubee Bat Conservancy is an Association of Zoos and Aquariums-certified institution.

History Lubee Bat Conservancy has its roots in an organization founded in 1989, the Lubee Foundation, Inc. The Lubee Foundation was created by Luis F. Bacardi of the Bacardi spirits company. The name "Lubee" was derived from the name of "Luis Bacardi". In the early years of the organization, it was home to several animal species other than bats, such as parrots, monkeys, and ostriches. The Lubee Foundation was used as a temporary holding facility for animals on their way to Disney's Animal Kingdom. The Bacardi family and business had a special interest in bats, as bats were the inspiration for its logo. When Luis Bacardi died on 12 September 1991, the Lubee Foundation shifted emphasis to focus on bats, rehoming its non-bat species.

Facilities Lubee Bat Conservancy is situated on a 110 acres (45 ha) ranch, approximately 10 mi (16 km) north of the city of Gainesville, Florida. It has facilities designed for the maintenance of captive bats, with temperature-controlled areas for roosting and outdoor flight enclosures. It also has medical equipment to manage the bats' needs, such as an examination room equipped for anesthesia, isolation areas, and a recovery room.

Species housed Lubee Bat Conservancy is home to more than 200 megabats of several species. Megabat species housed at Lubee include:

Straw-coloured fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) Gray-headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) Indian flying fox (Pteropus giganteus) Small flying fox (Pteropus hypomelanus)

Large flying fox (Pteropus vampyrus) Lesser short-nosed fruit bat (Cynopterus brachyotis) Little golden-mantled flying fox (Pteropus pumilus) Rodrigues flying fox (Pteropus rodricensis) Spectacled flying fox (Pteropus conspicillatus) With the dissolution of the Organization for Bat Conservation (OBC) in early 2018, Lubee announced that they would take on 17 of OBC's bats, including two species of microbat:

Big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) Evening bat (Nycticeius humeralis)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lubee Bat Conservancy

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lubee Bat Conservancy claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lubee Bat Conservancy before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lubee Bat Conservancy ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lubee Bat Conservancy

In research: Lubee Bat Conservancy appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lubee Bat Conservancy in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lubee Bat Conservancy is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1989 establishments in Florida, Bat conservation, Conservation and environmental foundations based in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lubee Bat Conservancy outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
