Accurate population estimates are crucial to developing successful conservation policy, but
the underlying data remain difficult to collect for many taxa. This is especially true for elusive …

Bats are important pollinators, but they are difficult to study since they are volant and
nocturnal. Thus, long-term studies of nectarivorous bats are scarce, despite their potential to …

The echolocation calls emitted by stationary bats are characterised by their resting
frequency (RF). The ecological role of RF has been widely discussed across the literature …

Weather conditions can influence the hibernation behaviour of temperate cave-dwelling bats
that are tolerant to low temperatures, and their number can be correlated with weather …

During the transitional period, ie, during the autumn and spring migrations, the lesser …

Diurnal roosts are vital to bats and growing evidence suggests that bats increasingly exploit
synanthropic structures, such as buildings. The use of synanthropic roosts (SRs) has been …

Automated monitoring technologies can increase the efficiency of ecological data collection
and support data‐driven conservation. Camera traps coupled with infrared light barriers can …

We studied the distribution of an endangered species of bat strongly associated with woods
in NW Italy. A species distribution model (SDM) was built on data collected in 2015–2016 …

Caves play an important role in bat ecology, offering natural roosting and wintering sites. In
the reproductive period, bats need to find an effective foraging environment away from the …
