Accurately estimating wind turbines' direct impact on biodiversity remains challenging, as many carcasses are scavenged or displaced before detection.…

Despite billions of passerines seasonally migrating during the night at high altitudes, only three bat species have been found to consistently tap into this rich prey resource. However, it remains unk...

Passive acoustic monitoring of bats is used in a growing number of studies in applied and basic research, from local to global scales. Despite the publication of good-practice recommendations, sev...

The presence of individuals from a different species induces a change in bat's flight strategy, that probably reflects an increase in competitiveness. Inde

Studying pathways during high mobility periods is one of the main missing elements for effective conservation, particularly for small species such as bats. An acoustic, stratified sampling at both lo...

Zoos are an untapped resource for scientists working on sound, research suggests. Closer collaboration between scientists and the zoo community may mean future research could benefit animals and deepe...

Acoustic monitoring is a key method for assessing bat populations and their ecological patterns, but the diversity of hardware and software requires transparent documentation to ensure reproducibilit...

Facing the current decline of biodiversity, researchers in ecology and conservation interact with socioeconomic stakeholders to involve their research…

Sustainable lighting requires balancing the preservation of biodiversity with the needs of urban residents. This study offers a valuable tool and meaningful insights to assist urban planners in achiev...

Non-tutorial feedback shapes song acquisition in a mammalian vocal learner.

to be held in Cairns, Australia on 3-8 August 2025

To decouple the effects of global drivers on bat morphology, we used a combination of high spatial and temporal resolution climate and land-use data to assess how bat cranial size and wing functional...

Rice is one of the most important crops for humanity since more than half of the world’s population depends on it as their main source of nourishment.…

The aim of this study in the Republic of Congo was to test a new method to conduct a quantitative study of cave-dwelling bat communities using acoustics. This area is characterised by limited knowl...

Long-distance migration, common in passerine birds, is rare and poorly studied in bats. Piloting a 1.2-gram IoT (Internet of Things) tag with onboard processing, we tracked the daily location, tempera...

Migrating hundreds and hundreds of miles is hard work for the common noctule bat. But this European species makes its marathon journey a little bit easier by paying attention to the weather.

Context Farmland biodiversity continues to decline due to the expansion and intensification of agriculture. Historically, efforts to conserve farmland biodiversity have focused on conserving habitats ...

Combining renewable energy planning and biodiversity conservation is urgently needed to address the interconnected climate change and biodiversity los…

Abstract. Neotropical leaf-nosed bats (family Phyllostomidae) underwent an impressive adaptive radiation characterized primarily by the diversification of

Background Migratory bats perform seasonal movements between their summer and winter areas. When crossing ecological barriers, like the open sea, they are exposed to an increased mortality risk due to...
