Ultrasonic detectors have become a mainstay for studying the ecology of bats throughout the
world. Despite their enormous utility to address a wide variety of research and management …

We analyzed the patterns of habitat use by insectivorous bats in Mexico City, one of the
largest and most populated cities of the world. We tested the hypotheses that richer patches …

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

Evolutionary biologists have a long‐standing interest in how acoustic signals in animals vary
geographically, because divergent ecology and sensory perception play an important role in …

Today's acoustic monitoring devices are capable of recording and storing tremendous
amounts of data. Until recently, the classification of animal vocalizations from field …

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 …

The structure of echolocation calls, and the distance over which bats perceive their
environment, varies with the amount of structural clutter through which they are flying. Clutter …

We examined variation in the echolocation calls of Brazilian free-tailed bats, Tadarida
brasiliensis, on a broad geographical scale and in response to local environmental …

Bats are the second most speciose order of mammals and are under significant threat
throughout the world. Survey and monitoring of bats for conservation are severely hampered …

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