Land-use change is a key driver of the global biodiversity crisis and a particularly serious
threat to tropical biodiversity. Throughout the tropics, the staggering pace of deforestation …

We report on acoustic surveys of insectivorous bats conducted during seven months of the
year using ANABAT recordings in two habitats (macadamia orchards and adjacent riparian …

Bats are a critical component of most terrestrial systems, yet accurately assessing species
richness and abundances remains a challenge. The use of acoustic monitoring has …

Wastewater treatment works (WWTWs) are known to provide profitable foraging areas for
insectivorous bats in Europe and the New World because of their association with high …

We assessed foraging activity of insectivorous bats in a fragmented landscape of central
Chile including native temperate forest, forest fragments, commercial pine plantations and …

Conservation of biodiversity in production forests is crucial for mitigating biodiversity loss in
the tropics. The major ecological impacts of selective logging are often the result of small …

Logging is one of the main causes of biodiversity loss in tropical forests. In the past decades
there was an increase in the number of studies on the effects of logging on biodiversity, but …

Forestry plantations supporting native species exhibit a dense understory, which might
reduce bat activity within plantations. We compared bat activity in Monterrey pine plantations …

We aimed to assess how bats are affected by habitat transformation by comparing bat
assemblages in four habitat types: primary forest, secondary forest, cocoa plantations and …

In seasonal environments, food supply typically fluctuates during the course of the year.
Bats, as small endothermic vertebrates, rely on regular and abundant food sources. To …
