Spatial orientation and navigation rely on the acquisition of several types of sensory
information. This information is then transformed into a neural code for space in the …

Recent molecular phylogenies have changed our perspective on the evolution of
echolocation in bats. These phylogenies suggest that certain bats with sophisticated …

Throughout evolution the foraging and echolocation behaviors as well as the motor systems
of bats have been adapted to the tasks they have to perform while searching and acquiring …

Passive acoustic sensing has emerged as a powerful tool for quantifying anthropogenic
impacts on biodiversity, especially for echolocating bat species. To better assess bat …

Bats are a species-rich order of mammals providing key ecosystem services. Because bats
are threatened by human action and also serve as important bioindicators, monitoring their …

Noise pollution from human traffic networks and industrial activity impacts vast areas of our
planet. While anthropogenic noise effects on animal communication are well documented …

Agricultural intensification has caused a decline in structural elements in European
farmland, where natural habitats are increasingly fragmented. The loss of habitat structures …

Summary 1 Riparian zones serve several ecological functions for bats. They provide a
source of prey and likely provide favourable structural habitats and shelter from predators …

Acoustic methods are used increasingly to survey and monitor bat populations. However,
the use of acoustic methods at continental scales can be hampered by the lack of …
