Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of bats to urbanization: a review
TL;DR: Overall, bat sensitivity to urbanization makes these mammals promising candidates to track the effects of this process of land use change on the biota, but more studies, specifically tailored to explore this role, are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
One strategy does not fit all: determinants of urban adaptation in mammals.
Luca Santini,Manuela González-Suárez,Danilo Russo,Alejandro Gonzalez-Voyer,Achaz von Hardenberg,Leonardo Ancillotto +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that all urban mammals produce larger litters; whereas other traits such as body size, behavioural plasticity and diet diversity were important for some but not all taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel perspectives on bat insectivory highlight the value of this ecosystem service in farmland: Research frontiers and management implications
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the state-of-the-art research on the role of bats in the fight against agricultural pests is presented, with an emphasis on temperate regions and identifying new research frontiers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraordinary range expansion in a common bat: the potential roles of climate change and urbanisation.
TL;DR: Temperature in the coldest quarter of the year was the most important factor predicting the presence of P. kuhlii and showed an increasing trend in the study period; mean annual precipitation and precipitation seasonality were also relevant, but to a lower extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Curiosity killed the bat: Domestic cats as bat predators
TL;DR: The threat posed to bats by cats may be significant and should be carefully considered in conservation plans and strategies to mitigate this impact should encompass the control of feral cat populations and indoor restriction of owned cats at least where predation on bats is probable.
