Trait‐related responses to habitat fragmentation in Amazonian bats (2015, methodology): “In line with Safi & Kerth (2004), we found no strong association between species vulnerability and dietary specialization.”
Dark Matters: The Effects of Artificial Lighting on Bats (2016, background): “Extinction risk is highest in bat species with low aspect ratios (Jones et al. 2003; Safi and Kerth 2004), which are the species that show aversion to artificial lighting.”
Species-specific barrier effects of a motorway on the habitat use of two threatened forest-living bat species (2009, background): “Morphological adaptations to foraging near surfaces, such as broad and rounded wings, decrease a species’ dispersal capabilities and are thought to make bats more susceptible to adverse effects that result from habitat fragmentation (Jones et al., 2003; Safi and Kerth, 2004).”
Shifts in bat community structure related to evolved traits and features of human-altered landscapes (2008, methodology): “However, our results indicate that general trends affecting bat species occurrence and extinction risk on continental (Humphrey 1975; Safi and Kerth 2004) and global scales (Jones et al.”
Landscape connectivity, habitat structure and activity of bat guilds in farmland-dominated matrices (2013, unknown): “As their foraging habitat diminishes, they become more vulnerable and less able to recolonize abandoned areas (Safi & Kerth 2004; Bontadina et al. 2008).”
