Bat populations are thought to have suffered significant declines in the past century
throughout Europe. Fortunately, there are some signs of recovery; for instance, of the 11 …

Passive acoustic sensing has emerged as a powerful tool for quantifying anthropogenic
impacts on biodiversity, especially for echolocating bat species. To better assess bat …

Large‐scale citizen‐science projects, such as atlases of species distribution, are an
important source of data for macroecological research, for understanding the effects of …

The occurrence of false positive detections in presence–absence data, even when they
occur infrequently, can lead to severe bias when estimating species occupancy patterns …

Echolocating bats are regularly studied to investigate auditory‐guided behaviors and as
important bioindicators. Bioacoustic monitoring methods based on echolocation calls are …

Consistent and comparable metrics to automatically monitor biodiversity across the
landscape remain a gold-standard for biodiversity research, yet such approaches have …

Recent years have seen increased attention to bats as an effective bioindicator group for
assessing responses to drivers of global change, which concurrently has led to a revived …

Owing to major technological advances, bioacoustics has become a burgeoning field in
ecological research worldwide. Autonomous passive acoustic recorders are becoming …

Biological monitoring programmes are increasingly relying upon large volumes of citizen‐
science data to improve the scope and spatial coverage of information, challenging the …

Acoustic recording units (ARU s) enable geographically extensive surveys of sensitive and
elusive species. However, a hidden cost of using ARU data for modeling species occupancy …
