Using multi-scale modelling to predict habitat suitability for species of conservation concern: The grey long-eared bat as a case study (2011, background): “Scattered trees in particular, have been identified as keystone elements in anthropogenically-disturbed landscapes (Manning et al., 2006), and offer important foraging habitats for insectivorous bats (Lumsden and Bennett, 2005).”
Scattered trees are keystone structures – Implications for conservation (2006, background): “Insectivorous bats in Australia forage around the canopy of scattered trees (Law et al., 1999, 2000; Lumsden et al., 2002; Lumsden and Bennett, 2005), and frugivorous bats make extensive use of scattered trees in many tropical landscapes (Duncan and Chapman, 1999; Galindo-González et al., 2000;…”
The disproportionate value of scattered trees (2010, background): “…values cannot be translated directly to landscape scale beta diversity, our results clearly show that maintaining even sparse tree cover makes a major difference to birds and bats compared with having no trees at all (Law et al., 2000; Fischer and Lindenmayer, 2002; Lumsden and Bennett, 2005) (Fig.”
Large trees are keystone structures in urban parks (2012, background): “They provide critical habitat for a range of taxa, including bats (e.g., Lumsden & Bennett 2005; Fischer et al. 2010a, b), ground-dwelling, and arboreal mammals (e.g., Gibbons & Lindenmayer 2002; Mazurek & Zielinski 2004; Lindenmayer et al. 2011), birds (e.g., Poulson 2002; Loyn & Kennedy 2009;…”
Positive effects of forest fragmentation, independent of forest amount, on bat abundance in eastern Ontario, Canada (2011, background): “While a number of studies have examined the effects of landscape structure on bats in other regions (e.g., Law et al. 1999; Lumsden and Bennett 2005 in Australia; Estrada and Coates-Estrada 2002 in Mexico; Cosson et al. 1999; Gorresen and Willig 2004; Bernard and Fenton 2007 in South America), only…”
Maintenance of high pollen dispersal in Eucalyptus wandoo, a dominant tree of the fragmented agricultural region in Western Australia (2008, background): “Single and small patches of trees provide food, such as nectar, pollen and seeds, and nesting sites for many species of small mammals, birds and invertebrates (Lumsden and Bennett 2005; Oliver et al. 2006; Gibbons and Boak 2002).”
Multi-scale ecology of insectivorous bats in agricultural landscapes (2015, background): “The same habitat quality value can be attributed to the scattered tree habitats (Lumsden and Bennett, 2005).”
Movements and Resource Selection of the Northern Long-eared Myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) in a Forest–Agriculture Landscape (2008, background): “…hugh.broders@smu.ca 2008 American Society of Mammalogists www.mammalogy.org 952 and Chidel 2002; Limpens and Kapteyn 1991; Verboom and Huitema 1997) and others highlight the importance of scattered trees in agricultural areas as important foraging areas (Law et al. 2000; Lumsden and Bennett 2005).”
Landscape connectivity, habitat structure and activity of bat guilds in farmland-dominated matrices (2013, unknown): “This indicates that bats prefer landscape elements over open habitat, which corroborates previous findings that open habitats seem to be least attractive to bats for foraging (Walsh & Harris 1996; Lumsden & Bennett 2005).”
The Response of Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) to Habitat Modification in a Neotropical Savannah (2017, result): “Some studies found a similar pattern for other plants attracting bats (Estrada & Coates-Estrada, 2001; Galindo-González, Sosa, & Ammerman, 2003; Law & Lean, 1999; Lumsden & Bennett, 2005), such as trees of the genera Ficus, Solanum, and Piper.”
