Bats are major consumers of arthropods, and there is ever growing evidence that they play a
pivotal role in the fight against agricultural pests. However, relatively little research has …

Bats represent one of the most diverse mammalian orders, not only in terms of species
numbers, but also in their ecology and life histories. Many species are known to use …

Simple Summary Bioindicators are organisms that react to the quality or characteristics of
the environment and their changes. They are vitally important to track environmental …

Animals produce a wide array of sounds with highly variable acoustic structures. It is
possible to understand the causes and consequences of this variation across taxa with …

Wind turbines (WTs) frequently kill bats worldwide. During environmental impact
assessments, consultant ecologists often use automated ultrasonic detectors (AUDs) to …

Ponds have an important role in the ecology of urban areas, as they provide essential
habitats to aquatic species, as well as fundamental resources to terrestrial wildlife. Artificial …

Interspecific competition (IC) is often seen as a main driver of evolutionary patterns and
community structure. Bats might compete for key resources, and cases of exaggerated …

Wildfires shape ecosystems globally, yet little is known on their effects on wildlife distribution
and spatial behaviour. We used bats as models to test the effects of fire on ecosystems …

Despite the key importance of the landscape matrix for bats, we still not fully understand how
the effect of forest composition interacts at combined stand and landscape scales to shape …

Consistent and comparable metrics to automatically monitor biodiversity across the
landscape remain a gold-standard for biodiversity research, yet such approaches have …
