Fighting insect pests is a major challenge for agriculture worldwide, and biological control
and integrated pest management constitute well‐recognised, cost‐effective ways to prevent …

In this article we review the current knowledge of the effects of urban expansion on bats and
assess the potential of these mammals as bioindicators of urbanization. The response of …

Reliable estimation of the size or density of wild animal populations is very important for
effective wildlife management, conservation and ecology. Currently, the most widely used …

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 …

Climate change is among the key anthropogenic factors affecting species' distribution, with
important consequences for conservation. However, little is known concerning the …

There has been considerable recent interest concerning the impact of climate change on a

Summary 1 Riparian zones serve several ecological functions for bats. They provide a
source of prey and likely provide favourable structural habitats and shelter from predators …

We evaluated the accuracy of presence‐only modelling for predicting the distribution of rare
species, when data are scarce and usually collected with sampling biases. We modelled the …

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 …
