Quantifying Resource Use Among Insectivorous Bat Species with Overlapping Distributions
<p>Bats make up 20% of all mammalian species, are globally distributed, and are the only mammals capable of sustained flight. Bats have adapted to feed on insects, scorpions, aquatic arthropods, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, blood, carrion, fruit, flowers, nectar, pollen, and even …

Bats and the city : urban bat biodiversity in a tropical biome transition zone
… is pivotal to developing efficient and effective conservation guidelines for urban planning. This study uses a long-term data set (>10 years) of species occurrence records, collected as part of a public health monitoring scheme within the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil to quantify the taxonomic, …

Assessment Of Natural Roost Availability And Artificial Roost Preference By Indiana Bats In Scott County, Kentucky
In addition to using natural roosts, Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) form maternity colonies in artificial roosts such as rocket boxes and bark-mimic structures. However, few Indiana bat study systems contain multiple artificial roost types alongside natural roosting options. I sought to analyze …

Bats and trees in a managed forest
Many North American bat species rely heavily on forests for roosting and foraging habitat. Especially in the face of drastic population declines, understanding how forests can be managed to support local bat assemblages is crucial for bat conservation. We worked in two managed hardwood state …

Ecology of Mid-Atlantic bats after white-nose syndrome: communities, reproduction, and diet within an urban-to-rural gradient
… syndrome (WNS) has reduced the abundance of many bat species within the United States' mid-Atlantic region, including the endangered Indiana (Myotis sodalis), threatened Myotis septentrionalis (northern long-eared bat) and other bats of conservation concern, such as Perimyotis subflavus …

Conservación de quirópteros en el Sur de Europa
… thesis aims to advance the knowledge about bat populations in southern Europe, with special emphasis on two aspects: their winter activity in temperate climates of southern Europe and their relationship with environmental variables, and the impact of wind energy infrastructure development on …

Ecological role and conservation status of the endangered, native Fijian free-tailed bat (Mops bregullae, Felten 1964) in fragmented forest habitats
Bats of Fiji are of significant conservation value because they represent Fiji’s only native mammals and contain the most secure global populations of several threatened taxa. Bats are ecologically important as they provide critical ecosystem services of pollination and insect control in both …

Assessing threats to North American bats: impacts of white-nose syndrome and climate on reproduction and survival
Many cave-hibernating North American bat species currently face the threat of extinction due to the newly emergent wildlife disease, white-nose syndrome (WNS). WNS is a fungal disease that has been causing catastrophic declines of bat populations in the eastern United States and Canada since it …
