Is there a specific name for a scientist who studies bats, or for the science 
of studying bats? Mammologist, or mammology, are more general terms. I have 
observed that many scientists who study bats refer instead to the abstract 
area of science they are studying, such as ethology or neurology. Names I have 
thought of on my own include chiropterologist/-ology and batologist/-ology.
