• Differential species-specific ectoparasitic mite intensities in two intimately coexisting sibling bat species: resource-mediated host attractiveness or parasite specialization? (2003, background): “Myotis myotis usually breeds much earlier in the season than M. blythii, with a chronological gap in the timing of reproduction of 8– 11 days (Arlettaz et al. 2001).”
• Bats in the Anthropogenic Matrix: Challenges and Opportunities for the Conservation of Chiroptera and Their Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Landscapes (2016, background): “This has been assessed in mouse-eared bats, Myotis spp., that track cyclic, massive local aggregations of cockchafers known since centuries for the damages they cause to fruit trees in Central Europe (Arlettaz 1996; Arlettaz et al. 2001).”
• Guild structure, foraging space use, and distribution in a community of insectivorous bats in the Negev Desert (2004, background): “Of these factors, those influencing the abundance of insects are of primary importance because food availability can affect the choice of foraging site (Rydell & Racey, 1995), the length of foraging bouts (Swift, 1980), and even the time of parturition (Arlettaz et al., 2001).”
• The impact and implications of climate change for bats (2013, background): “Food availability appears to be the prime factor determining when temperate insectivorous bats give birth, as parturition in lesser mouse-eared bats Myotis blythii is delayed in years when prey is scarce (Arlettaz et al. 2001).”
