This study examines bat emergence patterns across latitudes, finding that bats globally emerge under similar brightness thresholds, adapting to light gradients to balance foraging and predation risks.

This study examines how bunker dimensions affect bat abundance and diversity in boreal regions, finding that longer bunkers support more species and higher numbers of certain bat species.

This study examines behavioural changes in female northern bats during gestation and lactation, finding earlier foraging and later returns during lactation linked to temperature and energy demands.

This study investigates how two bat species select roosts and use torpor during autumn, finding that the date in autumn is a stronger driver of torpor use than temperature, with specific strategies for fat accumulation.

This study examines individual variation in breeding phenology and postnatal development in northern bats, finding that arrival timing and parturition are influenced by temperature and weather, with delayed parturition leading to smaller but faster-growing pups.

This study investigates how torpor use in boreal bats relates to pre-hibernation fattening, finding that torpor may conserve rather than facilitate mass gain.
