From Understory to Canopy: In situ Behavior of Neotropical Forest Katydids in Response to Bat Echolocation Calls

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Predator-prey interactions take place in complex environments, and research on the sensory ecology of predator-detection relies on understanding when, where, and how prey experience and respond to predator cues.

Good Condition, but Noisy: Critical Gaps in Ecological Assessment Frameworks

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecological condition assessments can guide conservation priorities yet often neglect pervasive stressors such as noise pollution. We examined whether assessed ecological condition reflects exposure to transportation noise exceeding 50 dB Lden (day–evening–night levels), a conservative threshold given documented negative effects on wildlife at ...

Moonlight Duration and Intensity Favour Nocturnal Activity in a Diurnal Desert Bird

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 629-641, September 2026.
Accelerometer data show that Canarian houbara bustards increase nocturnal activity two‐ to fivefold when the moon is visible, with activity rising as moonlit duration and illumination increase. Both display and non‐display behaviours peaked around full moon, reaching up to half of peak daytime levels, with males increasing visual displays during ...

Long‐Term Individual‐Based Monitoring in Bat Conservation: Insights From Automated PIT‐Tag Monitoring

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
Review on the outcomes of long‐term, individual‐based monitoring for bat conservation, focusing on data generated by automated passive integrated transponder monitoring. We show that this technique offers new possibilities for long‐term bat monitoring by facilitating the collection of highly relevant conservation data.

Vocal mechanisms in birds and bats: a comparative view

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2004
Vocal signals play a very important role in the life of both birds and echolocating bats, but these two unrelated groups of flying vertebrates have very different vocal systems.

A perspective on bats (Chiroptera)

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2013
With over 130 species, bats are the most diverse group of mammals almost everywhere in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2000, two books (Monadjem et al. 2010; Taylor 2000) have made it much easier to appreciate this reality.
