Abstract BACKGROUND The fact that bats suppress agricultural pests has been measured for some particular dyads of predator and prey species in both economic food security terms. recent emergence new molecular techniques allows more precise screenings bat's diet than the traditional visual identification systems provides further evidence consume an ample array pest species. main focus regulatory services provide agroecosystems on crop cause yield losses. Rice paddies constitute a agronomic...
Abstract Wetland areas have decreased by up to 33% globally over the past ten years, threatening biodiversity they support and essential ecosystem services provide. Despite this, importance of wetlands for bat conservation consequences losing these habitats are not comprehensively understood. Through a systematic literature review, we quantified knowledge gaps regarding bats in by: 1) assessing research trends time; 2) evaluating biases geography, themes, species, seasons, methodology; 3)...
Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes species diversity and functional composition have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these on (FD) remains unclear, especially mammals, specifically bats. We used distribution models a comprehensive ecological morphometrical trait database estimate how projected future climate land‐use could influence distribution, composition, FD European bat community....

Edge effects, abiotic and biotic changes associated with habitat boundaries, are key drivers of community change in fragmented landscapes. Their influence is heavily modulated by matrix composition. With over half the world’s tropical forests predicted to become forest edge end century, it paramount that conservationists gain a better understanding how biota impacted gradients. Bats comprise large fraction mammalian fauna demonstrably sensitive modification. Yet, knowledge about bat...
Abstract Animals modify their behaviours and interactions in response to changing environments. In bats, environmental adaptations are reflected echolocation signalling that is used for navigation, foraging communication. However, the extent drivers of plasticity not fully understood, hindering our identification bat species with ultrasonic detectors, particularly cryptic similar calls. We a combination DNA barcoding, intensive trapping, roost emergence surveys acoustic recording study...
Long-term mark-recapture studies are essential for bat conservation. Over the last decades, millions of bats across Europe and America have been marked with forearm rings this purpose. Although it is considered a cost-effective method compared to Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT) tags, direct injuries from using reported since their very first use. Yet, impact on bats' welfare has not systematically evaluated remains highly controversial issue among scientific community policymakers....
Abstract Background The Schreiber’s bat, Miniopterus schreibersii , is adapted to long-distance flight, yet long distance movements have only been recorded sporadically using capture-mark-recapture. In this study, we used the hydrogen isotopic composition of 208 wing and 335 fur specimens from across species' European range test hypothesis that species migrates over distances. Results After obtaining (δ 2 H) each sample, performed geographic assignment tests by comparing δ H samples with...
Forest cover in Europe has substantially increased recent decades, resulting extensive secondary forest (ca. 10-20 years) that is too young for many specialist forest-dwelling species. In the Mediterranean region, forests have historically been logged with detrimental effects on local biodiversity. Only a few small patches remain untouched. Specialist species are often less studied than other due to their lower population densities and inherent difficulties involved sampling. fact, some only...
Albinism and leucism are commonly confused in the literature.Despite fact that these congenial disorders affect only a small proportion of bat populations, they seem to be widely spread since reports affected bats found from over world.In this communication we report for first time leucistic Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Leach 1825).It was captured Ebro Delta Natural Park (Iberian Peninsula) biological field station near wetland with rice paddies, where 100 boxes deployed monitor populations.The...
