Limitations of acoustic monitoring at wind turbines to evaluate fatality risk of bats
Wind turbines (WTs) frequently kill bats worldwide. During environmental impact
assessments, consultant ecologists often use automated ultrasonic detectors (AUDs) to …

Beyond refueling: Investigating the diversity of functions of migratory stopover events
Stopovers comprise a significant proportion of the time that many birds spend migrating, and
researchers have long relied on these events to define and classify broader migratory …

Efficient movement strategies mitigate the energetic cost of dispersal
Dispersal is a critical, but costly, stage of life. During the active phase of dispersal—called
transience—individuals face many costs, from increased mortality to reduced foraging …

Bat activity correlated with migratory insect bioflows in the Pyrenees
High altitude mountain passes in the Pyrenees are known to be important migratory hotspots
for autumn migrating insects originating from large swathes of northern Europe. In the …

[HTML][HTML] Bats use topography and nocturnal updrafts to fly high and fast
During the day, flying animals exploit the environmental energy landscape by seeking out
thermal or orographic uplift, or extracting energy from wind gradients. 1–6 However, most of …

Bats surf storm fronts during spring migration
Long-distance migration, common in passerine birds, is rare and poorly studied in bats.
Piloting a 1.2-gram IoT (Internet of Things) tag with onboard processing, we tracked the daily …

BATScan: A radar classification tool reveals large‐scale bat migration patterns
Bat movement and behaviour are still mostly understudied over large scales. High‐altitude,
nocturnal activity makes visual identification of bats from the ground virtually impossible …

Contrasting torpor use by reproductive male common noctule bats in the laboratory and in the field
Metabolic processes of animals are often studied in controlled laboratory settings. However,
these laboratory settings often do not reflect the animals' natural environment. Thus, results …

C Holliday, JP Wisby, PL Roby… - The Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Managing landscapes for migratory species is challenging when migratory movement
patterns are unknown. Researchers have collected sufficient data to understand summer …

Assessing the evidence for treating developmental plasticity and phenotypic flexibility as different phenomena
Phenotypic plasticity has long played a central role in eco‐evolutionary theory, but it was not
until 20 years ago that it was proposed that the term encompasses two distinct phenomena …
