Bat assemblages on Neotropical land‐bridge islands: nested subsets and null model analyses of species co‐occurrence patterns (2008, result): “This contrasts with our findings as phytophagous bats, which showed a nested arrangement correlated with island isolation, can generally be considered relatively fragmentation-tolerant compared to animalivores (Meyer et al., 2008) and suggests that such an approach may not be generally applicable an”
Consequences of a large-scale fragmentation experiment for Neotropical bats: disentangling the relative importance of local and landscape-scale effects (2016, background): “#Figure 3 approximately here# 290”
Assemblage‐level responses of phyllostomid bats to tropical forest fragmentation: land‐bridge islands as a model system (2008, background): “…of fragmentation sensitivity suggested edge sensitivity as the species trait most strongly associated with bat species occurrence and abundance on the study islands, whereas there was no strong relationship with other traits such as body mass or dietary specialization (Meyer et al., 2008).”
Predicting local extinctions of Amazonian vertebrates in forest islands created by a mega dam (2015, background): “Additionally, species life-history attributes can be excellent predictors of vertebrate species susceptibility to extinction in tropical forest remnants (Lees and Peres, 2008; Meyer et al., 2008; Urquiza-Haas et al., 2009; Thornton et al., 2011a; Benchimol and Peres, 2014).”
Adaptability and vulnerability of high flying Neotropical aerial insectivorous bats to urbanization (2011, result): “This corroborates similar results in the large Neotropical family of Phyllostomid bats, where low mobility is associated with higher fragmentation sensitivity (Meyer et al., 2008).”
Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “In fact, edge sensitivity was identified as the species trait that best explained species vulnerability to fragmentation (Meyer et al. 2008).”
Guild-specific responses of bats to landscape composition and configuration in fragmented Amazonian rainforest (2009, background): “The notion that species sensitivity to forest edges is variable, depending on the degree of fragment-matrix contrast, is supported by studies of bats in other Neotropical landscapes (Bernard & Fenton 2003, 2007; Meyer et al. 2008 ).”
