Freezing temperatures are inherently challenging for life, which is water based. How species
cope with these conditions fundamentally shapes ecological and evolutionary processes …

Low winter temperatures are a major driver of hibernation and migration in temperate North
American bats. Hibernation and migration in turn affect bat mortality via white-nose …

Landscape metrics constitute one of the main tools for the study of the changes of the
landscape and of the ecological structure of a region. The most popular software for …

Urbanization can hinder movement and restrict landscape permeability for wildlife. However,
there is the potential to improve landscape connectivity by establishing and maintaining …

Bats commonly use subterranean environments for hibernation; however, few studies have
investigated bat use of rocky outcrops for overwintering. We searched rocky outcrops from …

Islands can be proxies for understanding species-occupancy dynamics—like rates of
immigration, extirpation, and persistence—in a world of increasingly isolated habitat …

Bats subject to high rates of fatalities at wind-energy facilities are of high conservation
concern due to the long-term, cumulative effects they have, but the impact on broader bat …

Movement corridors represent an important resource, allowing wildlife to access resources
(Jones et al. 2018, Scharf et al. 2018, Gregory et al. 2021). In this study, we examined five …

45 negative relationship with even low levels of artificial light. Most of our species models,
whether a forest-obligate or a generalist species, predicted that higher levels of riverbank …

Environmental change, particularly exceptionally rapid shifts triggered by humans, can be
leveraged to understand factors underlying species survival outcomes and associated …
