Summary 1. Farmland biodiversity continues to decline mainly because of agricultural intensification and land abandonment. Agri‐environment schemes can be designed halt this loss by favouring extensification practices through sympathetic management field boundaries fallow land. In Europe, High Nature Value (HNV) farmland is defined as low‐intensity supporting or associated with a high rate biodiversity, in terms species richness habitat diversity therefore plays crucial role the maintenance...
Abstract As light pollution is currently considered to be a major threat biodiversity, different lighting management options are being explored mitigate the impact of artificial on wildlife. Although part‐night schemes have been adopted by many local authorities across Europe reduce carbon footprint and save energy, their effects biodiversity unknown. Through paired, in situ experiment, we compared activity levels 8 bat species under unlit, part‐night, full‐night treatments rural area...
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) recently extended to a very wide range of animals, but no available open software has been sufficiently generic automatically treat several taxonomic groups. Here we present Tadarida, toolbox allowing for the detection and labelling recorded sound events, classify any new acoustic data into known classes. It is made up three modules handling Detection, Labelling Classification running on either Linux or Windows. This development resulted in first (1) event...
Monitoring biodiversity over large spatial and temporal scales is crucial to assess the impact of global changes environmental mitigation measures. However, large-scale monitoring invertebrates remains poorly developed despite importance these organisms in ecosystem functioning. The development new recording techniques methods automatic species recognition based on sound detection easily applicable within a citizen-science framework, offers interesting possibilities. value such protocols has...
Abstract Knowledge of species’ functional traits is essential for understanding biodiversity patterns, predicting the impacts global environmental changes, and assessing efficiency conservation measures. Bats are major components mammalian diversity occupy a variety ecological niches geographic distributions. However, an extensive compilation their attributes still missing. Here we present EuroBaTrait 1.0, most comprehensive up-to-date trait dataset covering 47 European bat species. The...
Biodiversity monitoring at large spatial and temporal scales is greatly needed in the context of global changes. Although insects are a species-rich group important for ecosystem functioning, they have been largely neglected conservation studies policies, mainly due to technical methodological constraints. Sound detection, nondestructive method, easily applied within citizen-science framework could be an interesting solution insect monitoring. However, it has not yet tested scale. We...
Abstract Assessing the state and trend of biodiversity in face anthropogenic threats requires large‐scale long‐time monitoring, for which new recording methods offer interesting possibilities. Reduced costs a huge increase storage capacity acoustic recorders have resulted an exponential use passive monitoring ( PAM ) on wide range animal groups recent years. has led to rapid growth quantity data, making manual identification increasingly time‐consuming. Therefore, software detecting sound...
Abstract Despite the key importance of landscape matrix for bats, we still not fully understand how effect forest composition interacts at combined stand and scales to shape bat communities. In addition, lack detailed knowledge on effects local habitat structure bat-prey relationships in forested landscapes. We tested assumptions that (i) has interacting bats between scales; (ii) mediates prey abundance activity. Our results indicated conifer-dominated landscapes (> 80% coniferous...
Abstract Numerous conceptual frameworks exist for best practices in research data and analysis (e.g., Open Science FAIR principles). In practice, there is a need further progress to improve transparency, reproducibility, confidence ecology. Here, we propose practical operational framework researchers experts ecology achieve building analytical procedures from individual projects production-level pipelines. We introduce the concept of atomization identify steps that support generalization by...
Context: Bats are the only mammals who have conquered skies (Gunnell & Simmons, 2005; Thewissen Babcock, 1992) and leading in terms of total biomass (Greenspoon et al., 2023) with exception domestic mammals. However, ecology bats is still a mystery, especially poorly sampled regions such as Central Africa. Aims: We present new method for studying nocturnal annual phenologies cave bat communities data deficient regions. Methods: In two caves (Mont Belo Boundou) Republic Congo, which home...
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....
Summary Monitoring biodiversity over large spatial and temporal scales is crucial for assessing the impact of global changes environmental mitigation measures. However, large‐scale monitoring invertebrates remains poorly developed despite importance these organisms in ecosystem functioning. Exciting possibilities applicable to professional citizen science are offered by new recording techniques methods semi‐automated species recognition based on sound detection. Static broad‐spectrum...
