Shifts in bat community structure related to evolved traits and features of human-altered landscapes (2008, background): “with nearby rural areas ( Gehrt and Chelsvig 2003 ).”
MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF SCALE-DEPENDENT ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN BATS AND LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE (2005, unknown): “Most landscape studies evaluate species responses to the spatial structure of habitat measured from areas of a single size (e.g., watersheds [McGarigal and McComb 1995]; quadrats [Hargis et al. 1999, Villard et al. 1999, Numa et al. 2005], 2 km radius plots [Gehrt and Chelsvig 2003]).”
Presence and Absence of Bats Across Habitat Scales in the Upper Coastal Plain of South Carolina (2006, background): “…efforts that have attempted to elucidate these processes, and their single and synergistic ecological agents operating across spatial and temporal scales, have shown strong linkages between activity of bats and a combination of microhabitat and landscape variables (Gehrt and Chelsvig 2003, 2004).”
Distribution and activity of bats at local and landscape scales within a rural–urban gradient (2008, methodology): “Within urbanized landscapes, many bat species use remnant forest patches, as their high mobility allows them to utilize patches in otherwise unsuitable surroundings (Clergeau et al. 2001; Ghert and Chelsvig 2003 ).”
Home Range and Landscape Use of Coyotes in a Metropolitan Landscape: Conflict or Coexistence? (2009, background): “An important feature of this landscape is the patchwork of habitat fragments protected from development, most of which are county forest preserves (Gehrt and Chelsvig 2003).”
Inferring persistence of indigenous mammals in response to urbanisation (2005, background): “…on bats from around the world indicate that while bats are likely to be disadvantaged (e.g. Geggie & Fenton, 1985; Kurta & Teramino, 1992; Gerell & Lundberg, 1993; Waters, Jones & Furlong, 1999), the relationship is likely to be complex and context mediated (e.g. Gehrt & Chelsvig, 2003).”
Bat diversity and abundance associated with the degree of secondary succession in a tropical forest mosaic in south‐eastern Mexico (2007, result): “…demonstrate that bat abundance in the study area varied more as a function of vegetation variables than of the landscape variables we studied, and were consistent with findings for vespertilionid bats at the microhabitat level (Walsh & Harris, 1996; Zimmerman & Glanz, 2000; Gehrt & Chelsvig, 2003).”
Using multi-scale modelling to predict habitat suitability for species of conservation concern: The grey long-eared bat as a case study (2011, background): “Semi-natural habitats within urban areas can offer important foraging grounds for bats when the surrounding landscape is dominated by intensive agriculture (Gehrt and Chelsvig, 2003), or in this case also when bats roost in buildings within suburban areas.”
Habitat Use by Forest Bats in South Carolina in Relation to Local, Stand, and Landscape Characteristics (2006, background): “…types, such as recently clearcut stands and/or mature forests, rather than stands with greater structural clutter, such as those in early and mid-development (Thomas 1988, Erickson and West 1996, Krusic et al. 1996, Crampton and Barclay 1998, Jung et al. 1999, Ellis et al. 2002, Patriquin and…”
Disease alters macroecological patterns of North American bats (2015, methodology): “We included five habitat variables related to bat activity and habitat use (Walsh & Harris, 1996; Gehrt & Chelsvig, 2003; Mehr et al., 2011; Akasaka et al., 2012), including land cover of agriculture, forest and impervious surface area (a measure of urban area) as well as the surface areas of…”
Relating bat species presence to simple habitat measures in a central Appalachian forest (2005, background): “…L. borealis, or L. cinereus, open habitats probably provide additional foraging opportunities that are at a premium in these forested landscapes relative to more agricultural or suburban-dominated landscapes (de Jong, 1995; Gehrt and Chelsvig, 2003; Gehrt and Chelsvig, 2004; Owen et al., 2004).”
Interference competition between coyotes and raccoons: a test of the mesopredator release hypothesis (2007, background): “The landscape immediately adjacent to the study areas, as well as the metropolitan area in general, is described in detail in previous publications (Gehrt and Chelsvig 2003; Prange et al. 2003).”
Positive effects of forest fragmentation, independent of forest amount, on bat abundance in eastern Ontario, Canada (2011, background): “Accordingly, studies have found that landscapes with more forest (and more potential roosting sites) have higher bat abundance and diversity (Humphrey 1975; Gehrt and Chelsvig 2003; Duchamp and Swihart 2008).”
Urbanisation and Its Effects on Bats—A Global Meta-Analysis (2016, background): “This is in accordance with the results of Gehrt and Chelsvig (2003, 2004) investigating the response of bats in and around the highly populated city of Chicago, USA.”
