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.”
Distribution and activity of bats at local and landscape scales within a rural–urban gradient (2008, methodology): “…detectability when using acoustic and capture methods are well documented and necessitate using a complementary combination of acoustic and capture methods to yield a more complete inventory of bat species (Kunz and Brock 1975; Murray et al. 1999; O'Farrell and Gannon 1999; Flaquer et al. 2007).”
Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, methodology): “Similarly, a variety of methods have to be used to sample bats efficiently and completely (Flaquer et al. 2007, MacSwiney et al. 2008) and sampling methods involving capture can be labour-intensive and time-consuming (Hayes et al. 2009, Kunz et al. 2009a).”
