At a time of growing concern over the rising costs and long‐term environmental impacts of
the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, wind energy has become an increasingly …

Summary 1 Agricultural intensification is perceived to be a major cause of the decline in
many European bat populations. Because organic farming prohibits the use of …

Summary 1 Modern silvicultural methods employ various styles of selective harvesting in
addition to traditional clear‐cutting. This can create a mosaic of patches with different tree …

We tested the hypotheses that the distance bats fly from tree lines depend on food
abundance and protection from wind. We monitored the activity of pipistrelle bats …

Relatively little attention has been devoted to the urban ecology of bats (Chiroptera) despite
their ecological importance. Although previous studies have indicated that urbanization has …

In habitats where prey is either rare or difficult to predict spatiotemporally, such as open
habitats, predators must be adapted to react effectively to variations in prey abundance …

We compared bat activity levels in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina among 5 habitat
types: forested riparian areas, clearcuts, young pine plantations, mature pine plantations …

Most bat species depend on forests for roosting, foraging, and drinking during part or all of
their life cycles. Many of the world's forests are managed using a variety of silvicultural …

The global demand for renewable energy has led to an expansion of wind energy
production at forested sites. The deployment and operation of turbines requires the clearing …

Recent studies have suggested that old-growth forests may be important habitat for some
species of bats, but the proximate factors related to greater bat activity in older forests are not …
