Second-growth and small forest clearings have little effect on the temporal activity patterns of Amazonian phyllostomid bats. [PDF]
Curr Zool, 2020 Secondary forests and human-made forest gaps are conspicuous features of tropical landscapes. Yet, behavioural responses to these aspects of anthropogenically-modified forests remain poorly investigated.

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Design matters : an evaluation of the impact of small man-made forest clearings on tropical bats using a before-after-control-impact design [PDF]
, 1980 In recent years, large clearings (>1000 ha) accounted for gradually smaller amounts of total annual deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, whereas the proportion of small clearings (
