Most silvicultural methods have been developed with the principal aim of ensuring adequate
regeneration of commercial tree species after harvesting. Much less effort has been directed …

Summary 1 Riparian zones serve several ecological functions for bats. They provide a
source of prey and likely provide favourable structural habitats and shelter from predators …

Summary 1 Modern silvicultural methods employ various styles of selective harvesting in
addition to traditional clear‐cutting. This can create a mosaic of patches with different tree …

Forest edges often have increased species richness and abundance (edge effect) and affect
spatial behaviors of species and dynamics of species interactions. Landscapes of …

Agricultural expansion has led to the widespread destruction of habitats and the creation of
fragmented landscapes. Woodland has been severely affected by habitat loss; remaining …

Relatively little attention has been devoted to the urban ecology of bats (Chiroptera) despite
their ecological importance. Although previous studies have indicated that urbanization has …

Abstract Knowledge and understanding of bat habitat associations and the responses of
bats to forest management are critical for effective bat conservation and management. Few …

Most bat species depend on forests for roosting, foraging, and drinking during part or all of
their life cycles. Many of the world's forests are managed using a variety of silvicultural …

Bat detectors increasingly are used in studies of the ecology and behavior of bats. A number
of assumptions are implicit to these studies, although these assumptions rarely are stated …

Abstract Changes in structure and arrangement of forests may influence the distribution of
bat communities by affecting roosting and foraging habitat. Using Anabat bat detectors, we …
