Predicted impact of climate change on European bats in relation to their biogeographic patterns (2010, background): “It is not expected that large areas of mature broadleaf forest, the main habitat for the existence of tree roosts in Europe (Lewis, 1995; Russo et al., 2004), could develop in northern Europe until the end of the century (McLachlan et al., 2005).”
Ground validation of presence‐only modelling with rare species: a case study on barbastelles Barbastella barbastellus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) (2010, background): “It has been shown that B. barbastellus is dependent upon mature woodland for roosting (Russo et al. 2004; Russo, Cistrone & Jones 2005) and foraging (Hillen et al. 2009; Kerth & Melber 2009), where their main prey, moths, are more abundant (Sierro 1999).”
Emergence time in forest bats: the influence of canopy closure (2007, methodology): “…on tree-roosting bats (e.g. Lacki and Schwierjohann, 2001; Law and Anderson, 2000; Lumsden et al., 2002; Sedgeley and O’Donnell, 1999a,b; Sedgeley, 2001; Russo et al., 2004, 2005; Willis and Brigham, 2004), emergence behaviour in these species remains little investigated (but see e.g. Jones, 1995).”
Reconsidering the importance of harvested forests for the conservation of tree-dwelling bats (2010, methodology): “August 2001–2008. Subjects were removed from the net promptly, and their body mass and forearm length were measured, respectively with a digital scale to the nearest 0.1 g and a calliper to the nearest 0.1 mm. We assessed sex by inspecting genitalia ( Racey 1988 ), and transilluminated wings to dist”
Home range use and habitat selection by barbastelle bats (Barbastella barbastellus): implications for conservation (2012, background): “The species’ rarity, its low-amplitude echolocation (Goerlitz et al. 2010), and its use of roosts primarily in woodland (Russo et al. 2004) make its detection in the field problematic and this may account for why it remains understudied and little known.”
Tree microhabitats as indicators of bird and bat communities in Mediterranean forests (2013, background): “us bat in Europe) (Lehikoinen et al., 2011; Russo et al., 2004) ather than on common species; and (3) few studies have been onducted at the community level (Fritz and Heilmann-Clausen, 010; Kroll et al.”
Species-specific barrier effects of a motorway on the habitat use of two threatened forest-living bat species (2009, background): “Barbastelle bats have large individual home ranges that can cover several square-km (Sierro, 1999; Russo et al., 2004; Steinhauser, 2002).”
