Forests are one of the most important habitats for insectivorous bats as they offer the
potential for both roosting and foraging. We reviewed silvicultural literature from North …

Australia has diverse landscapes ranging from wet tropical regions in the North to temperate
regions in the South and a vast arid interior. This variety has given rise to not only a …

Cities are heterogeneous landscapes, with remnant vegetation interspersed amongst areas
designed for human use. Native wildlife remaining in urban areas are only likely to thrive …

While torpor is a beneficial energy-saving strategy, it may incur costs if an animal is unable
to respond appropriately to external stimuli, which is particularly true when it is necessary to …

Although roost choice in bats has been studied previously, little is known about how
opposing roost colours affect the expression of torpor quantitatively. We quantified roost …

The persistence of wildlife in fragmented landscapes is predicted to rely on the presence of
critical habitat elements. In urban landscapes, the persistence of hollow-dependent bats …

Conserving biodiversity in production forest landscapes with on-going resource extraction,
such as mining and logging, is challenging. Habitat restoration is a strategy that is …

Long-term data are needed to explore the interaction of weather extremes with habitat
alteration; in particular, can 'refugia'buffer population dynamics against climate change and …

With the establishment of the Natura 2000 (N2000) network, the European Union intends to
develop strategies to conserve Europe's threatened habitats and species, including bats …

Renewal ecology promotes the creation and enhancement of landscapes that support
biodiversity and ecosystem services for humans. Silvicultural thinning of forest regrowth to …
