Journal ArticleDOI
The Importance of Distance to Resources in the Spatial Modelling of Bat Foraging Habitat
Ana Rainho,Jorge M. Palmeirim +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that distances to resources are determinant in the way bats forage across the landscape, and that using distance variables substantially improves the accuracy of suitability maps generated with spatially explicit models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trait‐related responses to habitat fragmentation in Amazonian bats
Fábio Z. Farneda,Fábio Z. Farneda,Ricardo Rocha,Ricardo Rocha,Ricardo Rocha,Adrià López-Baucells,Adrià López-Baucells,Adrià López-Baucells,Milou Groenenberg,Inês Silva,Jorge M. Palmeirim,Paulo Estefano D. Bobrowiec,Christoph F. J. Meyer,Christoph F. J. Meyer +13 more
TL;DR: Mobility, body mass, wing morphology, and trophic level were the most important traits linked to fragmentation sensitivity based on the PGLS analysis, while body mass and troPHic level emerged as the best predictors in the fourth-corner analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of artificial illumination on the nocturnal foraging of waders
Carlos David Santos,Ana C. Miranda,José Pedro Granadeiro,Pedro M. Lourenço,Sara Saraiva,Jorge M. Palmeirim +5 more
TL;DR: It is showed that artificial illumination has a positive effect on the nocturnal foraging of waders, but on the other hand may draw them to degraded areas close to urban centres, and potentially raises their exposure to predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structuring of Amazonian bat assemblages: the roles of flooding patterns and floodwater nutrient load.
Maria João Ramos Pereira,João Tiago Marques,Joana Santana,Carlos David Santos,Carlos David Santos,João Valsecchi,Helder Lima de Queiroz,Pedro Beja,Jorge M. Palmeirim +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that both flooding and floodwater-nutrient load are very important in the structuring of lowland Amazonian bat assemblage, with inundation mostly constraining the species composition of the assemblages, and water-nutrients load mostly influencing the abundance of species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of temperature in roost selection by Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Chiroptera): relevance for the design of bat boxes
TL;DR: It is suggested that, even in hot Mediterranean climates, black boxes are the best option as alternative roosts for evicted colonies, although on particularly hot days, bats left them, suggesting that black boxes could be improved by creating a wider thermal range.
