Assessing road effects on bats: the role of landscape, road features, and bat activity on road-kills (2013, background): “In fact, ‘‘montado’’ areas and riparian vegetation often are highly suitable habitats for bat communities, because they provide shelter and high availability of insects (Allan et al. 2003; Russo and Jones 2003).”
Relating bat species presence to simple habitat measures in a central Appalachian forest (2005, background): “…importance of these habitats as feeding substrates (Vaughn et al., 1997; Grindal et al., 1999; Zimmerman and Glanz, 2000; Seidman and Zabel, 2001; Russo and Jones, 2003; Wickramasinghe et al., 2003; Menzel et al., 2005b) and as travel corridors (Verboom and Huitema, 1997; Law and Chidel, 2002;…”
Lunar phobia in bats and its ecological correlates: A meta-analysis (2013, background): “However, other studies have not found any relationship between moonlight intensity and activity (Karlsson et al. 2002; Russo and Jones 2003; Thies et al. 2006; Holland et al. 2011).”
Predicted impact of climate change on European bats in relation to their biogeographic patterns (2010, background): “However, the availability of roosts is one of the most limiting resources for bats (Rodrigues et al., 2003; Russo et al., 2004) and in combination with the needs for specific foraging habitats (Russo & Jones, 2003; Rainho, 2007), roost loss may pose an additional threat to bat survival.”
Reconsidering the importance of harvested forests for the conservation of tree-dwelling bats (2010, background): “It is worth mentioning that so far studies on B. barbastellus have focused on ‘‘natural’’ forest ecosystems, but especially in the Mediterranean the species may also occur in seminatural woodland whose persistence relies on active human management, such as chestnut woodland grown for sweet chestnut ”
Bats and Water: Anthropogenic Alterations Threaten Global Bat Populations (2016, background): “On windy nights, M. capaccinii and M. daubentonii are less active (Russo and Jones 2003), presumably because wind reduces prey density and generates ripples on the water surface affecting target detection.”
Effects of landscape-scale broadleaved woodland configuration and extent on roost location for six bat species across the UK (2011, background): “This is consistent with previous studies that show non-native coniferous plantations offer poor foraging habitat for bats (Russo and Jones, 2003; Russo et al., 2002; Smith and Racey, 2008), although they may be used where roosting opportunities exist (Mortimer, 2006).”
Use of native woodlands and traditional olive groves by foraging bats on a Mediterranean island: consequences for conservation (2007, background): “Activity data indicated that R. ferrumequinum foraged most often in pine woodlands on Zakynthos, whereas Russo & Jones (2003) recorded no horseshoe bats in six Italian conifer stands.”
Cranial size has increased over 133 years in a common bat, Pipistrellus kuhlii: a response to changing climate or urbanization? (2014, background): “Street lights attract and concentrate moths (e.g. Frank, 1988), creating important foraging sites where P. kuhlii (Barak & Yom-Tov, 1989; Gaisler et al., 1998; Russo & Jones, 1999, 2003; Russo et al., 2009) and some other vespertilionids (see, for example, Arlettaz et al., 2000) often hunt.”
Effects of wastewater treatment plant effluent on bat foraging ecology in an urban stream system. (2007, background): “…et al., 1996; Walsh and Harris, 1996; Carmel and Safriel, 1998; Holloway and Barclay, 2000; Warren et al., 2000; Fellers and Pierson, 2002; Law and Chidel, 2002; Russo and Jones, 2003; Evelyn et al., 2004; Lloyd et al., 2006) and across a broad range of bat species (Racey and Entwistle, 2003).”
The value of bat-boxes in the conservation of Pipistrellus pygmaeus in wetland rice paddies (2006, methodology): “The protection and correct management of aquatic habitats (rivers, lakes, and other types of wetlands) are undoubtedly . ollers.org (C. Flaquer). key elements in any bat conservation strategy in the Mediterranean Region (Russo and Jones, 2003).”
Roost selection by barbastelle bats (Barbastella barbastellus, Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in beech woodlands of central Italy: consequences for conservation (2004, background): “Hence, in roosting areas where water sites are rare or absent, the presence of cattle troughs and small ponds should be encouraged (Russo and Jones, 2003).”
Ecological niche modelling of two cryptic bat species calls for a reassessment of their conservation status (2007, background): “…and Italy: P. pygmaeus is frequently found near water bodies in all areas studied to date; in Ireland and Italy, open deciduous forests constitute other suitable habitats (Vaughan, Jones & Harris 1997; Häussler et al. 2000; Russ & Montgomery 2002; Russo & Jones 2003; Davidson-Watts & Jones 2006).”
Estimating animal population density using passive acoustics (2012, background): “The classic book by Seber (1982) and the general reviews by Seber (1986, 1992) and Schwarz & Seber (1999) provide details and extensive references about the different methods.”
