Increasing agriculture and pesticide use have led to declines in insect populations biodiversity worldwide. In addition diversity, it is also important consider abundance, due the importance of insects as food for species at higher trophic levels such bats. We monitored spatiotemporal variation abundance nocturnal flying over meadows, a common open landscape structure central Europe, correlated with bat feeding activity. Our most result was that almost always extremely low. This true...
Understanding how animals meet their daily energy requirements is critical in our rapidly changing world. Small organisms with high metabolic rates can conserve stored when food availability low or increase intake energetic are high, but they balance this the wild remains largely unknown. Using miniaturized heart rate transmitters, we continuously quantified expenditure, torpor use and foraging behaviour of free-ranging male bats ( Nyctalus noctula ) spring summer. In spring, used...
