Mist nets set at ground level is the traditional method of surveying bats and in the Amazon,
almost half of the bat surveys used this methodology. The sole use of ground-level mist nets …

The extrinsic factors that most influence animal activity are weather and light conditions,
which can be assessed at hourly, monthly, and even lunar-cycle timescales. We evaluated …

Habitat loss and fragmentation rank high amongst the most pressing threats to biodiversity.
Understanding how variation in functional traits is associated with species vulnerability in …

Recent studies predict a future decrease in precipitation across the tropics, particularly the
Amazon, likely causing significant droughts that have negative consequences for …

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

Abstract The subgenus Phyllodia (genus Pteronotus) comprises 9 species ranging from the
western coast of Mexico to central Brazil, including Greater and Lesser Antilles. Two of them …

The development of increasingly affordable ultrasonic detectors and automatic classifiers
has increasingly boosted the use of acoustic recording of echolocation calls to survey bats …

Abstract Changes in moonlight intensity can affect predation risk and induce changes in
habitat use and activity of nocturnal species. However, the effect of moonlight on animal …

Animals modify their behaviours and interactions in response to changing environments. In
bats, environmental adaptations are reflected in echolocation signalling that is used for …

Passive forest restoration can buffer the effects of habitat loss on biodiversity. We
acoustically surveyed aerial insectivorous bats in a whole‐ecosystem fragmentation …
