Effects of Habitat Conversion on Temporal Activity Patterns of Phyllostomid Bats in Lowland Amazonian Rain Forest (2009, background): “Additional details about the study area and sampling methods are available in Willig et al. (2007).”
Effects of human‐modified landscapes on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic dimensions of bat biodiversity (2015, background): “…studies of the response of Neotropical bats to land conversion (Estrada et al., 1993; Cosson et al., 1999; Medell ın et al., 2000; Bernard & Fenton, 2002; Faria & Baumgarten, 2007; Willig et al., 2007) have compared sites that differed in the degree of disturbance (e.g. forest vs. logged forest).”
What do we know about the effects of landscape changes on plant–pollinator interaction networks? (2013, unknown): “…et al., 2009; Jauker et al., 2009; Hoehn et al., 2010; Quintero et al., 2010), the worldwide most important pol-linators (Roubik, 1995), but also for other pollinator groups such as birds (Breitbach et al., 2010) and bats (Quesada et al., 2003, 2004; MacSwiney et al., 2007; Willig et al., 2007).”
The Response of Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) to Habitat Modification in a Neotropical Savannah (2017, background): “Despite their high mobility, bat richness, abundance, and assembly composition may vary depending on the different types of habitat degradation (Fenton et al., 1992; Vilchis, Clarke, & Racey, 2007; Willig et al., 2007).”
Assemblage‐level responses of phyllostomid bats to tropical forest fragmentation: land‐bridge islands as a model system (2008, result): “This corroborates several other studies that have demonstrated an increase in the abundance of a few canopy or understorey frugivores following fragmentation or disturbance (Medellı́n et al., 2000; Sampaio, 2000; Clarke et al., 2005; Willig et al., 2007).”
Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, background): “Frugivorous species dominated chacra, purma and undisturbed forest habitats (Willig et al. 2007).”
Artificial light puts ecosystem services of frugivorous bats at risk (2014, background): “Due to this important role for ecosystem functioning, bats may represent a keystone taxon in the tropics (Willig et al. 2007).”
Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “…or occur at low abundance in secondary regrowth (Fenton et al. 1992; Brosset et al. 1996; Medellín et al. 2000; Faria 2006; Castro-Luna et al. 2007a, b; Mancina et al. 2007; Willig et al. 2007; Pardini et al. 2009; Bobrowiec and Gribel 2010; de la PeñaCuéllar et al. 2012; Vleut et al. 2012, 2013).”
