Sampling period, size and duration influence measures of bat species richness from acoustic surveys (2012, background): “…some authors sample continuously from dusk until dawn (e.g. Kuenzi & Morrison 1998; Williams, O’Farrell & Riddle 2006; Dzal et al. 2009), while others sample for only parts of the night (e.g. Wickramasinghe et al. 2003; Gehrt & Chelsvig 2004; Ford et al. 2005; Flaquer, Torre & Arrizabalaga 2007).”
Distribution and activity of bats at local and landscape scales within a rural–urban gradient (2008, background): “…for foraging in fully open conditions and less cluttered conditions, respectively, should more frequently be detected in fragmented parks without regard to condition of urbanization (Furlonger et al. 1987; Ghert and Chelsvig 2004, Ford et al. 2005, 2006, Yates and Muzika 2006, Walters et al. 2007).”
Effects of wastewater treatment plant effluent on bat foraging ecology in an urban stream system. (2007, background): “, 2003; Whitaker, 2004) and can be considered a riparian habitat specialist as it mainly forages along or over water sources (Fujita and Kunz, 1984; Broders et al., 2003; Ford et al., 2005).”
Presence and Absence of Bats Across Habitat Scales in the Upper Coastal Plain of South Carolina (2006, background): “In forested landscapes, distributional patterns of bats are influenced by a complex interplay of habitat factors from the individual tree and stand-level to the landscape level, as well as prey resources, temporal factors, climate, and the autoecology of individual species of bats.”
Bat diversity and abundance associated with the degree of secondary succession in a tropical forest mosaic in south‐eastern Mexico (2007, background): “At the vegetation (habitat) level, the variable with the greatest explanatory power was canopy cover, the importance of which has already been indicated with respect to bat movement and foraging behavior (Crome & Richards, 1988; Gorresen & Willig, 2004; Ford et al., 2005).”
Patterns of acoustical activity of bats prior to and following white-nose syndrome occurrence (2011, methodology): “To a lesser extent, the same is true for the Indiana bat because they also will forage over wooded riparian habitats (Ford et al. 2005) in addition to the open habitats we sampled.”
Effects of tropical forest fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in a land-bridge island system. (2010, background): “However, its virtue lies in the high quality of the obtained recordings because the researcher can follow a bat’s flight trajectory (Kalko, 1995; Ford et al., 2005) resulting in enhanced detection and recording possibilities compared to stationary microphones.”
Roost tree selection by northern myotis (Myotis septentrionalis) maternity colonies following prescribed fire in a Central Appalachian Mountains hardwood forest (2009, background): “008 forest harvesting is tolerated by bats, and may even increase foraging opportunities for certain species by reducing structural clutter, provided that adequate numbers of roost trees are retained (Owen et al., 2002, 2004; Ford et al., 2005; Perry and Thill, 2007).”
Pond characteristics as determinants of species diversity and community composition in desert bats (2010, background): “Although at the regional scale, geographical and historical processes set the upper limit on species diversity, the localscale distribution of species within habitat patches can be determined by local environmental factors and biotic interactions (Ricklefs, 1987; Gaston, 2000; Ford et al., 2005).”
Habitat Use by Forest Bats in South Carolina in Relation to Local, Stand, and Landscape Characteristics (2006, background): “Bat activity is often greater in gaps and small openings within the stand than in intact portions of the stand (Law and Chidel 2002, Menzel et al. 2002a, Tibbels and Kurta 2003).”
