Bats mate year-round. They have no way to signal potential mates, and do not compete with each other for access to mates.
They seem to mate most frequently when the flock they are with is about 75% through thier 'sleep' period. (Fewer interruptions) They are also the only animal to be observed mating out of boredom. (How this was determined, i do not know.) Nor do they pair-bond. (How romantic!)
