The importance of species that connect the different types of interactions is becoming
increasingly recognized, and this role may be related to specific attributes of these species …

The effects of urbanization on bats are poorly understood, but published data suggests it
might be detrimental to them. Even though urban parks provide refuge to native biota, the …
