A review of the major threats and challenges to global bat conservation
Bats are an ecologically and taxonomically diverse group accounting for roughly a fifth of
mammalian diversity worldwide. Many of the threats bats face (eg, habitat loss, bushmeat …

[HTML][HTML] What are the 100 most cited fungal genera?
The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Fatalities at wind turbines may threaten population viability of a migratory bat
Large numbers of migratory bats are killed every year at wind energy facilities. However,
population-level impacts are unknown as we lack basic demographic information about …
