Abstract In the United States, intensively managed forests (IMFs) comprise approximately
9%(27.9 million ha) of total forest area. These forests are primarily in highly productive areas …

Detailed information about three-dimensional vegetation structure proves increasingly
useful for studying species-habitat relationships in forest ecosystems. This particularly …

Wildfire is an important ecological process that influences species' occurrence and
biodiversity generally. Its effect on bats is understudied, creating challenges for habitat …

Despite the key importance of the landscape matrix for bats, we still not fully understand how
the effect of forest composition interacts at combined stand and landscape scales to shape …

Insectivorous bats in temperate zones have evolved strategies such as migration or
hibernation to overcome challenges of reduced resource availability and increased energy …

Biodiversity sustained by natural ecosystems, particularly forests, provides ecosystem
services essential to human well-being. However, many forests have been severely …

Globally, forests are under pressure to cope with an increasing human demand for forest
products, while the need to protect forest biota increases. Old-growth forests are reference …

Research Highlights: Seasonal variation in environmental conditions coinciding with
reproductive and energetic demands might result in seasonal differences in species-specific …

Commercial plantations are primarily managed for timber production, and are frequently
considered poor for biodiversity, particularly for mammalian species. Bats, which constitute …

Over the past 13 years, White‐nose Syndrome (WNS) has caused North American bat
population declines and shifted community structure towards species less or unaffected by …
