Temporal variation of insect communities in urban environments is poorly known and
mechanisms driving these changes are unclear, as are the implications for insectivorous …

Artificial light at night is a pervasive anthropogenic stressor for biodiversity. Many fast‐flying
insectivorous bat species feed on insects that are attracted to light‐emitting ultraviolet …

Simple Summary Artificial light at night provides convenience and a perception of safety for
humans. However, it is an environmental pollutant to many wildlife species. We found that in …

Despite the clear importance of conserving biodiversity in urbanized areas, research on how
bats are influenced by urbanization has is only recently catching up to the more established …

Relatively little attention has been devoted to the urban ecology of bats (Chiroptera) despite
their ecological importance. Although previous studies have indicated that urbanization has …

We investigated the bat (Microchiroptera) diversity of four major habitat types within a large
Australian subtropical city (Brisbane, Australia) to determine whether species richness was …

We analyzed the patterns of habitat use by insectivorous bats in Mexico City, one of the
largest and most populated cities of the world. We tested the hypotheses that richer patches …

Urbanization is currently considered to have a negative effect on biodiversity, including the
abundance and diversity of bat (Chiroptera) communities. However, relatively little attention …

Most of Australia's forest-dwelling microchiropteran bats are reliant on hollows in trees for
shelter and breeding. These bats typically comprise a significant proportion (at times over …

Animal biodiversity in cities is generally expected to be uniformly reduced, but recent studies
show that this is modulated by the composition and configuration of Urban Green Areas …
