Bats provide important ecosystem services as natural predators of, for example,
lepidopteran pests. Thus, it is crucial to identify ways to enhance bat populations in …

Agricultural intensification decreases the heterogeneity of the landscape and leads to a
decline in hedgerows. As hedgerows provide important habitats for many taxa, this …

Bats are known to forage and commute close to vegetation structures when moving across
the agricultural matrix, but the role of isolated landscape elements in arable fields for bat …

Many bat species in Europe have suffered severe population declines during the 20th
century, and the main drivers of this decline is likely the loss of foraging habitats at local and …

Agricultural intensification is one of the major causes for the global loss of biodiversity and
associated ecosystem services. As an alternative to conventional farming, organic …

Field boundaries are important habitat for bats in agricultural landscapes, serving as
commuting and foraging areas for many species. The goal of our study was to better …

Linear landscape features are used by many species of insectivorous bats as flight routes
and foraging zones, as well as for providing protection against environmental factors and …

Rural landscapes are undergoing widespread changes, of which homogenization and the
installation of wind turbines are important components. To keep track of the impacts of …

Bat conservation is one of the top global concerns for research today; however, conservation
efforts may still be limited and impotent due to inadequacy and scarcity of data. Hence …

The Pampa is the least protected and one of the least sampled for bats among the Brazilian
domains. This leads to significant Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls for bats in the Brazilian …
