在野外对Hypsignathus monstrosus的呼叫组件进行了17个月的研究，以确定它们是“leks”还是交配场所。直接观察，在集会地点的动物网，和无线电跟踪在集会地点，觅食的理由，和白天的栖息地，使这一决定。饲养圈养动物以确定生长速率。它的结论是，即使是最保守的定义，Hypsignathus表现出列克行为，并与其他鸟类和哺乳动物列克物种共享许多功能。
Calling assemblies of Hypsignathus monstrosus were studied for 17 months in the field to determine if they were “leks” or mating arenas. Direct observations, netting of animals at the assembly sites, and radio-tracking of both ♂♂ and ♀♀ at the assembly sites, foraging grounds, and day roosts were all utilized to make this determination. Captive animals were maintained to establish growth rates. It is concluded that Hypsignathus exhibit lek behavior even by the most conservative definition and share many features with other avian and mammalian lek species.
