Effects of tropical forest fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in a land-bridge island system. (2010, background): “Although high forest strata have been intensively surveyed with mist nets (e.g. Kalko and Handley, 2001; Bernard, 2001; Meyer and Kalko, 2008), it is acknowledged that richness and abundance of aerial insectivores was underestimated because these bats avoid mist nets effectively or fly above the can”
Species richness and structure of three Neotropical bat assemblages (2008, result): “Even among Amazonian rainforest sites, where previous inventory studies also reported a high bat species richness (Bernard, 2001; Bernard, Albernaz & Magnusson, 2001; Lim & Engstrom, 2005; Barnett et al., 2006), the estimated species richness at TBS is among the highest reported to date.”
Trophic structure in a large assemblage of phyllostomid bats in Panama (2004, background): “…are dominated by phyllostomids / leaf-nosed bats of the New World family Phyllostomidae (Brosset and Charles-Dominique 1990, dos Reis and Muller 1995, Ascorra et al. 1996, Kalko et al. 1996a, Bernard 1997, 2001, Kalko 1997, Simmons and Voss 1998, Kalko and Handley 2003, Bernard and Fenton 2002).”
Phyllostomid Bats of Lowland Amazonia: Effects of Habitat Alteration on Abundance (2007, background): “…abundance of some taxa, particularly species in the Emballonuridae, Molossidae, Thyropteridae, and Vespertilionidae, may be underestimated appreciably by mist netting, especially when restricted to ground or upper understory levels of rain forests (Handley 1967, Bernard 2001, Sampaio et al. 2003).”
Consequences of a large-scale fragmentation experiment for Neotropical bats: disentangling the relative importance of local and landscape-scale effects (2016, methodology): “Ensemble-specific responses 175 According to available literature (Bernard 2001, 2002; Giannini and Kalko, 2004; Pereira et al 2010) species were grouped into frugivores (subdivided into shrub and canopy frugivores), gleaning animalivores, aerial insectivores and nectarivores (Table S1).”
Prey preference of the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus, Chiroptera) using molecular analysis (2015, background): “At the regional scale, they have low abundance in primary forest (Bernard 2001; Bobrowiec et al. 2014), but their population increases close to rural villages and farmlands (Delpietro et al. 1992; Bobrowiec 2012) because of the increased availability of prey species such as cattle, horses, mules,…”
Bat and Bird Assemblages from Forests and Shade Cacao Plantations in Two Contrasting Landscapes in the Atlantic Forest of Southern Bahia, Brazil (2006, background): “Tropical forests represent complex habitats, and bats are known to show a consistent pattern of use of this vertical stratification, with species foraging preferably or exclusively in specific forest heights (Handley 1967; Bernard 2001).”
Vertical stratification influences global patterns of biodiversity (2018, result): “Our findings corroborate this long-standing hypothesis in ecology, which previously has only been tested at local to regional scales (Bernard 2001, Vieira and Monteiro 2003, Scheffers et al.”
Phyllostomid Bat Assemblage Structure in Amazonian Flooded and Unflooded Forests (2014, result): “Phyllostomidae species richness, usually captured in ground-level nets, was also similar to or higher than other Amazonian studies (Bernard 2001, Sampaio et al. 2003, Barnett et al. 2006, Martins et al. 2006, Peters et al. 2006, Bernard & Fenton 2007, Bobrowiec & Gribel 2010, Moratelli et al. 2010,…”
Ecological correlates of vulnerability to fragmentation in Neotropical bats (2007, background): “Bat species which forage mainly in the canopy and depend mainly on patchily distributed resources should also be more mobile and hence be less fragmentationsensitive than species with limited mobility, such as understory bats, which forage primarily on spatio-temporally predictable but often more lo”
Bat diversity and abundance associated with the degree of secondary succession in a tropical forest mosaic in south‐eastern Mexico (2007, background): “Differences in the foraging height of some species could also have biased the probability of capturing them (Bernard, 2001; Kalko & Handley, 2001).”
Species diversity of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in forest fragments, primary forests, and savannas in central Amazonia, Brazil (2002, background): “Further, differences in the morphology and ecology of the species make some of them more suited to using specific habitats such as the spatially complex forest interior or the open areas above the canopy (e.g., Norberg and Rayner 1987; Fenton 1994; Fenton et al. 1998; Bernard 2001c).”
