Bats as bioindicators – the need of a standardized method for acoustic bat activity surveys (2012, methodology): “During the output phase of the time-expansion system, it is not possible to record further bat calls (Parsons & Szewczak 2009).”
Long-term monitoring of tropical bats for anthropogenic impact assessment: Gauging the statistical power to detect population change (2010, background): “We therefore recommend complementing mist net captures with acoustic surveys (Flaquer et al., 2007; Kunz and Parsons, 2009), especially since the latter have been shown to be indispensable for maximizing inventory completeness in tropical bat surveys (Furey et al.”
50 years of bat tracking: device attachment and future directions (2014, background): “…the knowledge gained by past tracking and telemetry studies (Davis & Cockrum 1964; Bradbury 1977; Bradbury et al. 1979; Petit & Mayer 1999; Willis & Brigham 2003; Richter & Cumming 2008; Amelon et al. 2009; Stawski, Turbill & Geiser 2009; Smith et al. 2011; Tsoar et al. 2011; Roberts et al. 2012).”
Could localized warm areas inside cold caves reduce mortality of hibernating bats affected by white-nose syndrome? (2010, background): “Furthermore, given the time it takes to train bats to feed in captivity (Wilson 1988) and the fact that affected species probably do not normally feed during winter (Whitaker and Rissler 1993), provisioning thousands of free-living bats with supplemental food during hibernation is likely…”
Accounting for detectability improves estimates of species richness in tropical bat surveys (2011, methodology): “…traps and acoustic sampling (AS)] as many bat species are usually missed in species inventories that employ only a single method (MacSwiney, Clarke & Racey 2008; Kunz & Parsons 2009; Fahr & Kalko 2010), and thus we judged sampling method to be a major factor affecting estimates of detectability.”
Who’s calling? Acoustic identification of Brazilian bats (2018, background): “In temperate regions, the use of ultrasound detectors to assess bat diversity has a few decades and is widespread (Ahlén and Baag 1999; Kunz and Parsons 2009).”
Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, background): “For example, the presence of large numbers of male bats at high elevation sites supports the hypothesis that the best quality lowland sites are monopolised by breeding females and perhaps by high-quality males (Barclay 1991, Russo 2002, Senior et al. 2005, Cryan & Veilleux 2007, Cryan & Diehl 2009).”
Do social networks of female northern long-eared bats vary with reproductive period and age? (2010, methodology): “We also assessed reproductive condition of females as either pregnant, by palpation of the abdomen; lactating, by expression of milk from the nipples; or post-lactating, by the presence of worn patches around the nipples in the absence of milk expression (Racey 1988).”
