Loss of tree cavities presents a threat to tree roosting echolocating bat populations. Bat
boxes have been used for over a century to provide artificial cavities. The aims of this review …

Artificial roosts designed to attract bats have been used to increase populations, aid seed
dispersal, and control insects. More important from a conservation perspective, artificial …

Thousands of industrial-scale wind turbines are being built across the world each year to
meet the growing demand for sustainable energy. Bats of certain species are dying at wind …

Higher densities of tree microhabitats in unmanaged forests may explain biodiversity
differences with managed forests. To better understand the determinants of this potential …

National and international forest biodiversity assessments largely rely on indirect indicators,
based on elements of forest structure that are used as surrogates for species diversity …

META-ANALYSIS USES SUMMARY STATISTICS like effect sizes to combine information
from multiple studies. Yet a common problem encountered when collecting information for …

Nest or roost temperature (T roost) is thought to impact reproductive fitness in many
endotherms but few studies have directly tested the hypothesis that naturally occurring …

Bats spend more time roosting than in any other activity. Thus, it is not surprising that some
researchers have argued that roost availability influences the diversity of bat communities …

Forest edges often have increased species richness and abundance (edge effect) and affect
spatial behaviors of species and dynamics of species interactions. Landscapes of …

Strategic conservation efforts for cryptic species, especially bats, are hindered by limited
understanding of distribution and population trends. Integrating long‐term encounter …
