Accurate and precise monitoring of species abundance is essential for determining population trends responses to environmental change. Species, such as bats, that have slow life histories, characterized by extended lifespans low reproductive rates, are particularly vulnerable changes, stochastic events, human activities. An accurate assessment productivity can improve parameters modelling provide insights into species’ capacity recover from perturbations, yet data on output often lacking....
Urban expansion is a major threat to natural ecosystems but also creates novel opportunities that adaptable species can exploit. The grey-headed flying-fox ( Pteropus poliocephalus ) threatened, highly mobile of bat increasingly found in human-dominated landscapes, leading many management and conservation challenges. Flying-fox urbanisation thought be result diminishing foraging habitat or increasing urban food resources, both. However, little known about landscape utilisation flying-foxes...
Generally, urbanization is a major threat to biodiversity; however, urban areas also provide habitats that some species can exploit. Flying-foxes ( Pteropus spp.) are becoming increasingly urbanized; which thought be result of increased availability and temporal stability food resources, diminished natural or both. Previous research has shown urban-roosting grey-headed flying-foxes poliocephalus ) preferentially forage in human-modified landscapes. However, land-use plants support its...
