Fatalities at wind turbines may threaten population viability of a migratory bat
Winifred F. Frick,Winifred F. Frick,Erin F. Baerwald,Jacob F. Pollock,Robert M. R. Barclay,Jennifer A. Szymanski,Theodore J. Weller,Amy L. Russell,Susan C. Loeb,Rodrigo A. Medellín,Liam P. McGuire +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether fatalities at wind turbines could impact population viability of migratory bats, focusing on the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus ), the species most frequently killed by turbines in North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation and migration in the Mexican free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana)
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the importance of accounting for coalescent stochasticity in formulating phylogeographical hypotheses, and indicates that analyses that do not take such processes into account can lead to false conclusions regarding a species’ phylo geographical history.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multidimensional approach for detecting species patterns in Malagasy vertebrates
Anne D. Yoder,Link E. Olson,Carol Hanley,Kellie L. Heckman,Rodin M. Rasoloarison,Amy L. Russell,Julie Ranivo,Voahangy Soarimalala,K. Praveen Karanth,Achille P. Raselimanana,Steven M. Goodman +10 more
TL;DR: A collaborative group of field and laboratory biologists employ a suite of methodological and analytical tools to investigate the vertebrate portion of Madagascar's fauna, and formulate hypotheses of species identity that serve as the foundation for subsequent studies of biology and history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Road-killed bats, highway design, and the commuting ecology of bats
TL;DR: The level of mortality from road kills on this colony was assessed, genetic analyses of mitochondrial DNA sequences confirmed the suspect bat as a federally endangered M. sodalis and the influence of canopy height and structure on flight behavior was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Market forces and technological substitutes cause fluctuations in the value of bat pest-control services for cotton.
Laura López-Hoffman,Ruscena Wiederholt,Chris Sansone,Kenneth J. Bagstad,Paul M. Cryan,James E. Diffendorfer,Joshua H. Goldstein,Kelsie LaSharr,John B. Loomis,Gary F. McCracken,Rodrigo A. Medellín,Amy L. Russell,Darius J. Semmens +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fluctuations in market conditions can cause temporal variation in ecosystem service values even when ecosystem function – in this case bat population numbers – is held constant, leading to an economic option value argument for conserving Mexican free-tailed bat populations.
